FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING - Before begiIlIliIlg the
installation, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on acddentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, secm'elv
tasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the setMce panel.

The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
This hood can be xented verticall) through upper
cabinets or hofizoi_tallv throuoh an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter rotmd ducting.
If a 6" rotmd duct is required, a
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less thm_
a 6" dimneter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satistactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 3V(' x 10" rectangular; 6" or 7" diameter rotmd
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.
NOTE: It's important that ducting be installed using the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensm'es clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, mane sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual l)hysical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equi\:dent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The charts on the fl)llowing pages show you how to calculam
total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
tibet of equiwdent length of some t'},pical ducts.
*IMPORTANT: If a rectangula>t(>
round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the fin snips, in order to allow fl'ee
movement of the dampeL
Equiwdent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements fl)r good venting
perfl)rmance with anv hood.
