Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
To maximize the ventilation performance of the
vent system:
1. Minimize the duct run length and number of
transitions and elbows.
2. Maintain a constant duct size.
3. Seal all joints with duct tape to prevent any leaks.
NOTE:
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible
vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that
greatly reduces performance.

Custom Cabinet Frame Planning
Ŷ
The custom canopy or cabinet should have a
rectangular hole to accommodate the custom
hood insert by itself. This hole is the same
size for both a wall installation and an island
installation. Ensure parallelism and levelness of
the cabinet so that it doesn't affect flushness of
the hood with the cabinet.
