VENTING OPTIONS
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The range hood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from the
kitchen, or installed to operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted
For ducted installation it is recommended that 6" (152mm) diameter, rigid or semi-rigid
ducting is used. This will require a 6 5/16" (160mm) (min) round hole in the ceiling or wall.
Care should be taken to position the hole correctly.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigidor
semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal ducting should
only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it is
straight, smooth and extended as much as possible.
