Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the manufacturer before making any cutouts. MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION. The installation of this rangehood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280).

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION - To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside – Do not vent ex- haust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages".

Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either through the wall or the roof. The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uni- form. Do not install two elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.

Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure and air turbu- lence that greatly reduces performance.

Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.
