WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, use only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the
hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to
performmosteciently.
3. 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.
4. Install a 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.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop MUST NOT
BE LESS than 24”.
A maximum of 30” above cooktop is highly recom-
mended for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discre-
tion; providing that the ceiling height permits.
