1. INSTALL
DUCTWORK
WARNING
!
When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the unit, it is recommended to wear safety glasses and gloves.
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
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 longer duct runs.
Install wall or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the
hood location. Use 2" metal foil duct tape to seal the joints.

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.
Distances over 30" are at the installer and users discretion; providing that ceiling
height permit.
NOTE: 10-ft. ceilings require a flue extension, part no. 20366 (sold separately).
