5.6 INSTALLING THE EXTERIOR HOODS
Choose an appropriate location for installing the exterior hoods:
• a minimum distance of 6 feet (1.8 m) between the hoods to avoid cross-contamination
• a minimum distance of 18 inches (457 mm) from the ground
Make sure the intake hood
is at least 6 feet (1.8 m) away from any of the following:
• dryer exhaust, high efficiency furnace vent, central vacuum vent
• gas meter exhaust, gas barbecue-grill
• any exhaust from a combustion source
• garbage bin and any other source of contamination
Refer to Figure 10 for connecting the insulated duct to the hoods. Place the “FRESH AIR INTAKE” sticker,
provided in the installation kit, on corresponding hood. An “Anti-Gust Intake Hood” should be installed in
regions where a lot of snow is expected to fall.
