Fisher & Paykel CP-366, CP-486GD Ventilation Requirements, Standard Counter Island Installation

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the range. The following chart indicates the minimum blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.

	Standard Counter	Island Installation
Ventilation Unit	Installation
		Recommendatons
	Recommendatons
HOOD	24" Deep x Unit Width	30" Deep x 36" at Bottom
	48” Cooktop	1200 CFM
	1200 CFM
BLOWER
	*36” Cooktop	600-1200 CFM
	600-1200 CFM

* When installing a unit featuring a grill, GL models, requires a 1200 CFM ventilation unit.

CAUTION:

Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting and/or damper. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.

Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is only required when using the grill.

For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a maximum of 36" above the cooktop cooking surface, (page 12). If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36" above the cooking surface.

Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of make-up air (outside replacement air) is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted.
