Cyclone Insert Installation - English
Preparation for Vent and Exhaust Duct Connection
1. To connect a rectangular vent to a round exhaust duct (or vice
versa), use a connecting duct and adapter.
2. The round vent of a Cyclone Range Hood is 6” diameter. If
the round exhaust duct is not 6” diameter, a connecting duct
is necessary to accommodate the different size. If the exhaust
duct is less than 6” diameter, the efficiency of your Cyclone
Range Hood will be reduced and the warranty may be voided.
3. An exhaust duct needs to be cut if there is not an existing duct
in your home. Please consult/hire a professional to complete
the work properly. For top venting, a rectangular or a 6”
round hole needs to be cut through the ceiling or the back
wall and the bottom of the cabinet to fit the duct connection.
When there is no access to the top of the hood, carefully pull down
the metal duct through the custom hood base hole. Slide this duct
over the adapter/damper. Make sure the adapter/damper assembly
enters the ducting. Seal the connection with aluminum tape.
