RIGID DUCTWORK

LIMITATIONS

Rigid metal ductwork should not exceed 54 feet of straight 4 inch duct. Each 90° elbow and the exhaust hood should be considered equivalent to 8 feet of straight ductwork.

For example, if an exhaust hood and two 90° elbows are used, the maximum straight duct allowed would be 26 feet. Not more than three 90° elbows should be used in any rigid ductwork run with an exhaust hood. Four feet of straight duct should be allowed between 90° elbows.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

The plug must be plugged into an out- let that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equip- ment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
