	tical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the
	hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results,
	use a minimum number of transitons and elbows.
2	Use the proper diagram below, for placement of ductwork
	and electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted
	installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
