INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

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.

4.Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.
