ADVANCE PLANNING

Ductwork Planning

•This hood is equipped for 8″ round ductwork. •Determine the exact location of the vent hood. •Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.

This hood is not designed for a recirculating venting operation.

•Use the shortest and straightest duct route possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run should not exceed 100 ft . equivalent length for any duct configurations.

•Refer to “Duct Fittings” chart to compute the maximum permissible length for duct runs to the outdoors.

•Use rigid metal ductwork only.

•Install a wall or roof cap with damper at the exterior opening. Order the cap and any transitions needed in advance.

Wall and Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support This vent hood is heavy and the cabinet structure needs to support the weight of the loaded insert sleeve. Adequate structural support must be provided in all types of installations.

•Installation will be easier if the vent hood is installed before the cooktop is installed.

Custom Cabinet Frame Planning

•The custom-built canopy should be sized to accommodate the hood insert sleeve. See pages 5–9 for details.

Remote Mounting of the Control (Wired)

•The control can be remotely mounted on the wall or the countertop.

•It is recommended that you use a professional installer for the countertop cutout .

•It is recommended that the cutout in a granite countertop or other hard surface be made before the countertop is installed.

•The cutout needs to be made at least 6 inches from the edges of the countertop.

•If mounting in the countertop above a drawer, consideration must be given to the depth of the control mounting assembly.

•A 30 ft . wire cord is provided. Careful consideration must be given to the location of the remotely mounted control.

•It is recommended that the 4-wire cord be routed through 1″ conduit between the insert sleeve and the remote mounting location.
