INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. Do not use flexible plastic ducting
CAUTION!
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – do not
vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or
garages.
Venting options
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The ventilation hood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted
externally from 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 rigid
or 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 and smooth and extended as much as possible.
