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 8" round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

4.Secure the upper half of support frame to joists and cross framing with four screws (6x70mm and four washers (D.6.4mm). Make sure screws are driven into center of joists and framing for maximum strength.
5.Adjust the overall height of the support frame. Loosen and
Note that the hood height is 10” and that:
-on 8’ ceilings, the bottom of the hood must be 24” min. and 27” max. above the cooktop.
-on 9’ ceilings, the bottom of the hood must be 27” min. and 30” max. above the cooktop.
