1. INSTALL DUCTWORK
Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
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 best performance with
longer duct runs.
Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards the hood location. Use metal foil duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork
sections.
WARNING
When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
!
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
2. MEASURE INSTALLATION
The minimum hood distance above cooktop MUST NOT BE less than 26”.
A maximum of 30” above cooktop is highly recommended for best capture
of cooking impurities.
For a gas range, the bottom of the hood MUST NOT BE LESS than 30”
above cooking surface.
NOTE: For a 9 feet high ceiling, the bottom of the hood MUST BE located
at least at 30” above a 36-inch high cooktop.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion; providing that
ceiling height permit.
