Please read this entire manual and ensure that you are fully conversant with the requirements and limitations

D U C T I N G

(Not applicable if the range hood is

used in re-circulating mode)

WARNING: Do not vent this

appliance into any other ductwork, spaces between walls, ceilings, attics, garages or any other confined space.

External Venting Requirements

When planning new ductwork, always look for the most direct route to the outside. Venting can be done through the roof or directly through the back outside wall. (See Figure 1 and 2) Only use rigid type metal ducting (plastic ducting is generally not

permitted by code). Flexible ducting could restrict airflow by up to 50%. Always fasten connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape. Do not use screws to fasten ductwork to the hood, only use tape as the screws will stop the dampers from opening and your hood will not work. This hood re- quires a 6” round duct outlet. You can increase the duct size of the duct run but never decrease it. Use the shortest and most direct route possible. Always, wherever possi- ble, reduce the number of transitions and turns with as few sharp angles as possible.
