INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING
THE
INSTALLATION
For
indoor
use
only.
For
household
use
only.
This
hood
is
not
to
be
used
to
exhaust
explosive
or
dangerous
fumes
or
materials
.
For
safety
and
for
optimum
performance,
the
vent
hood
must
be
installed
at
a
minimum
of
28”
above
an
electric
cooking
surface
and
a
minimum
of
30”
above
a
gas
cooking
surface
(if
the
instructions
for
installation
of
the
gas
hob
specify
a
greater
distance,
this
has
to
be
taken
into
account).
The
exhaust
air
must
not
be
discharged
into
a
chimney
which
is
used
for
exhausting
fumes
from
other
appliances
that
burn
gas
or
other
fuels.
Determine
the
exact
location
of
the
vent
hood.
Mark
the
location.
Find
the
centerline
of
the
cooktop.
Use
a
level
to
draw
a
vertical
straight
pencil
line
on
the
wall.
Plan
the
route
for
venting
exhaust
to
the
outdoors.
Use
the
shortest
and
straightest
duct
route
possible.
Make
sure
the
first
duct
runs
is
at
least
12’’
before
redirecting.
Long
duct
runs,
elbows
and
transitions
will
reduce
the
performance
of
the
hood.
Use
as
few
of
them
as
possible.
Larger
ducting
may
be
required
for
longer
duct
runs.
Install
a
wall
cap
with
damper
or
roof
cap
at
the
exterior
opening
/
wall.
Join
the
wall
or
roof
cap
to
the
ductwork.
Connect
round
metal
ductwork
to
cap
and
work
back
towards
the
hood
location.
Use
2"
metal
foil
duct
tape
to
seal
the
joints.
INSTALLATION
DRAWINGS
It
is
important
to
install
the
hood
at
the
proper
mounting
height.
A
hood
mounted
too
low
could
result
in
heat
damage
and
fire
hazard,
while
a
hood
mounted
too
high
will
be
hard
to
reach
and
will
lose
its
performance
efficiency.
The
hood
distance
above
an
electric
cooking
surface
must
be
No
less
than
28
”.
The
hood
distance
above
a
gas
cooking
surface
must
not
be
less
than
30
’’.
For
