PLAN THE INSTALLATION
This rangehood can be installed as either ducted or ductless. In a ducted application, this rangehood can be vented through the wall or ceiling. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is used. When installed ductless, the rangehood vents out of grates on the sides of the chimney. Ductless installations require a Ductless Conversion Kit, available from your dealer.
WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS OR HOLES FOR INSTALLATION, DETERMINE WHICH VENTING METHOD WILLBE USEDAND CAREFULLY CALCULATE ALL MEASUREMENTS.
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
The Perla chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling heights as indicated in FIGURE 2. The chimneys can be adjusted for ceil- ings between 7' 8 1/2" and 9' 9 1/2" depending on the distance between the bottom of the hood and the cooktop (distance x in FIGURE 2).

RANGEHOOD ASSEMBLY
For shorter ceilings, have the chimney cover(s) cut at a sheet metal shop. For higher ceiling installations, the High Ceiling Chimney Kit includes a new 40” upper chimney which would replace the 20” upper chimney that came with the hood. (see OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES page 4)
CALCULATE THE DUCTRUN LENGTH
Theductrunshouldnotexceed35equivalent feet if ducted with the required minimum of 6" round ductwork. Calculate the length of the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet in FIGURE3foreachpieceofductinthesystem. An example is given in FIGURE 4.
For best results, use no more than three 90° elbows. Make sure that there is a minimum of 24" of straight duct between elbows if more than one is used. Do not install two elbows together. If you must elbowrightaway,doitasfarawayfromthe hood's exhaust opening as possible.
