COOKING SUFACE

The minimum hood distance above cooktop MUST NOT BE LESS than 24”.

A maximum of 36” above cooktop is recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.

Distances over 36” are at the installer and users discretion; providing that the ceiling height permits.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK (Ducted Hoods Only)

1.Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

2.A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.

3.Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4.Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Position the electrical (house wiring) within the space covered by the decorative flue and where it will not interfere with the round duct. Make sure the length of the house wiring is a minimum of 5 feet. It may be shortened after hood is installed at correct height and electrical connection is made.
