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.
INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS
1.Construct wood wall framing that is flush with interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a)the framing is centered over installation location.
b)the height of the framing will allow the mounting brackets to be secured to the framing within the dimensions shown.
2.After wall surface is finished, secure mounting brackets to framing using dimensions shown.
