flector = 32”.

Use the shortest most direct ductwork
route possible. Only use metal ducting
- plastic ducting is generally not permit-
ted by code. Do not use flexible metal
ducting as the ridges of the ducting cau-
se severe air turbulence and will signifi-
cantly reduce the efficiency of any hood
-THIS TYPE OF DUCTING WILL REDUCE
EFFICIENCY BY 50%.
Vent hoods may interrupt the proper flow
of exhaust gases from fire-places, gas
furnaces and gas water heaters. To mini-
mize the risk of drawing these lethal ga-
ses back into the home please follow the
heating equipment manufacturers safety
standards and guidelines. Refer to NFPA
and ASHRAE for additional information.
DUCTING
If vented externally, 6” / 150mm round
ducting must be available for the hood
through the ceiling, in line with the cen-
tral vertical axis of the range hood.
This unit must have it’s own ductwork.
Do not under any circumstances vent this
unit into any other ductwork or exhaust
ducting in the building.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DUCT OUTLET ON
THE TOP OF THE POWER UNIT IS OFF SET
FROM CENTRE AND THEREFORE AN ADJU-
STABLE 6” ROUND BEND WILL BE REQUIRED
