DUCT PLANNING

transition piece is provided for vertical exhaust. You can use elbows
(sold separately) to ventilate horizontally through the rear wall.
Determine the exact position of the hood.
Plan the route to vent the ventilation duct to the outside.
Use the shortest and straightest path possible. For satisfactory
performance, the length of the duct should not exceed 12.5 feet of
