straight vent between any elbows

use silver or duct tape to seal all
joints in the vent system

use caulking to seal exterior open-
ings around the cap

for maximum airflow

always keep the duct clean to en-
sure proper airflow
For best operation, we recommend you:
DO NOT:

terminate the vent system into an attic or
other enclosed area

warning
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too
low could result in heat damage and fire hazard. Hoods mounted too high will be
hard to reach and will lose performance and efficiency.
