  *  **6b. Ducted mode (Fig.11)**

Insert flexible pipe and secure flue tape to air outlet with suitable duct tape.

NOTE: For ducted mode we recommended to extend the flue pipe through the roof cladding(with appropriate flashing) to an external roof cowl, venting the exhaust externally.

To ensure optimum performance of the rangehood, the use of bends should be avoided. Straight, rigid and short ducting is recommended to use. All ducting must be fire retardant.

WARNING
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.
