Installation Instructions
Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting
A minimum of 8” round duct is recommended to maintain maximum air flow eciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Use calculation worksheet to compute total duct work (Page 11).
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 8” to 10”.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from duct opening and as far apart between
the two transitions as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 24”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than 34”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result
in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its
performance and eciency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range. Always check your local codes for any dierences.
Duct cover extension kit available for ceiling heights up to 12 feet. Turn to the List of Parts and
Accessories section for part number and ordering information.
