Installation, Use and Care Manual

4. IF THE HOOD IS TO BE “BACK VENTED”, PROCEED DIRECTLY TO STEP 5.
Consult the connection diagrams (following) for further details on exhaust outlet placement.
Method 1: Install the duct(s) from the outside of the home down to the location of the exhaust
outlet(s) on the top of the hood or to the transition (if applicable).
If a transition is used, install duct down to the location of the transition outlet plus 1”
[2.5 cm]. This will allow the transition to engage 1” [2.5 cm] inside of duct.
Method 2: Install the duct(s) from the outside of the home to the ceiling over the exhaust
outlet(s) on the hood. The end of the duct(s) should extend 1” [2.5 cm] below the
ceiling.
Use foil HVAC tape (not grey cloth duct tape) to seal all joints. See “VENT ACCESSORIES” on
page19 for a listing of available Hestan ducting materials.
