Preparation before Installation
Figure 1
NOTE: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR HOOD, PREVENT DEBRIS FROM ENTERING THE VENT OPENING.
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside. (Figure 1)
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently.
Try to avoid as many transitions, elbows, and long run as possible. This may reduce the performance of the
hood.
Temporarily wire the hood to test for Figure 2 proper operation before installing. Refer
to figure 5 on page 6.
Important: Peel protective film off the hood and duct covers, if any.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between pipe sections.
