DUCTING

WARNING
· To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork. · To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure
to duct air outside ­ do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

Examples of different types of ventilation:
Roof Pitch with Cap and Flashing

CAUTION
· Best to use rigid type metal ducts. Flexible ducts can restrict airflow by more than 50%.
· Reduce the number of transitions and turns as much as possible. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. If turns and transitions are required, install them as far away from the opening as possible and as far apart between two as possible.

WARNING
· 450 – 699 CFM requires a minimum of 6″ diameter duct. 700 – 949 CFM requires a minimum of 8″ diameter duct. 950 – 1200 CFM requires a minimum of 10″ diameter duct. Any use of duct contrary to above, can result in the warranty being rendered null and void.
· The venting duct must travel horizontally or vertically up to the outside wall or the roof. If it is turned downward anywhere in the venting system, the warranty can be rendered null and void.

Soffit or Crawl Space

Side Wall Cap with Gravity Damper

Fasten all duct connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified aluminum foil tape. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut then a supporting frame must be constructed. Before making cutouts make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the exhaust vent.

MOUNTING HEIGHTS AND CLEARANCE

WARNING
· The hood should be installed no less than 28″ above an electric cooktop. If pairing your range hood with a gas cooktop, the minimum mounting height must be no less than 30″ above the cooking surface.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 28″ for electric or ceramic stoves, and no less than 30″ for gas stoves. The maximum mount height should be no more than 36″. The hood must be installed at the correct mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage and may render the warranty null and void. Hoods mounted too high, on the other hand, will be less effective and performance may suffer. Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood. Hood installation height above cook top is the user’s preference. The lower the hood is above the cook top the more efficient it will be in drawing out cooking odors, grease and smoke.
