Ducting Recommendations | The unit is for ducting to the outside; it cannot be used in conjunction with a recir- |
| culation unit. |
| For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight duct run or as few elbows as |
| possible. |
| Do not use flex ducting. Always use metal ductwork with a diameter of 6” (150 |
| mm). |
| COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional backdraft damper |
| installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to |
| minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper |
| should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close |
| as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of the house. |
| Always install a metal vent cover where the ductwork exits the house. |
| |
| when using ducted ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air move- |
| ment. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC profes- |
| sional for specific requirements in your area. |
Installation Procedure | |
| WARNING: To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing, |
| switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the |
| power from being switched on accidentally. |
Unpack Hood | Pull hood from outer packaging. Remove and discard all packaging materials. |
| Remove filter and set aside (See Use and Care manual for removal instructions). |
Prepare ductwork | Install |
| that the flap opens up (toward the ceiling) before continuing. If necessary, install |
| thermal break and additional backdraft damper. |
