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 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.
!
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
2. MEASURE THE 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.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion; providing that ceiling height permit.
