Preparation

• The vent hood should be on site before final framing and wall finishing. This will help to accurately locate the duct work and electrical service.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cooktop and countertop are installed.

Ductwork and wiring locations:

• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.For satisfactory performanc educt run should not exceed 100′ equivalent length for any duct configurations.
• Refer to “ Ductwork installation guidelines” chart to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors (fig. ).

Ducting installation guidelines

• For safety reasons when ducting outdoors (not using a recirculation kit),ducting must vent directly outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house, into the garage or into any enclosed space).
• Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.
• Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air flow efficiency.
• Back to back elbow and “S” turns give very poor delivery and are not recommended.
• Use a suitable 6” round duct.
• Flexible metal round ducts should only be used when no other duct fitting exists. limit use to short lengths and do not crush when making corners.

Removing the packaging
CAUTION
Remove the carton carefully. Wear gloves to protect against sharp edges.

WARNING
Remove the protective film covering the product before putting into operation.
