INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only

metal ductwork.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run

between the hood and the outside (Fig.6).

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood

to perform most efficiently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will

reduce the performance of the hood. Use

as few of them as possible. Larger ducting

may be required for best performance with

longer duct runs.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round

metal ductwork to cap and work back

towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal

the joints between ductwork sections.

INSTALL ELECTRICAL

DUCTED and NON-DUCTED HOODS

WARNING: Electrical wiring must be

done by a qualified person(s) in

accordance with all applicable codes and

standards. This range hood must be prop-

erly grounded. Turn off electrical power at

service entrance before wiring.

1. Plan where the hood will be located above

the cook top. Refer to the “INSTALL

MOUNTING BRACKET” section for hood

mounting height options.

2. Install a standard 2” x 4” wall outlet box

and 3-blade 125 volt, 15 Amp grounded

receptacle (Fig.7).

3. Mount the center of the wall outlet 17” to

18” above the bottom of the hood.

4. Locate the box and the receptacle within

boundary shown and off center of the

ductwork (to allow for power cord plug

and flue clearance).
