For most efficient operation, the top of the hood should be
approximately 66 inches (137.6 cm) from the floor. See Figure 5 for examples of two typical ductwork
installations. Choose the best method for your installation.
1. Mark |
| locations | for | ventilating | duct | and | electrical | |||||||||

|
|
| ||||||||
2. | Cut |
| holes | at | marked | locations | to | accomodate | ||||||||
| ventilating | duct | and | electrical | wiring. | Allow | %” | (1.91 | ||||||||
| cm) extra on ventilating opening toward the front of | |||||||||||||||
| the cabinet directly above the hood (See Figure 4). | |||||||||||||||
| Be sure to minimize openings through the outside | |||||||||||||||
| walls or ceiling. These will have to be sealed later. | |||||||||||||||

the narrow neck of the keyhole slot (Figure 2).
10. Complete electrical wiring in the juction box according to the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes,
11.Replace junction box cover.
12.Seal holes around ventilating pipe and wiring passing through ceiling oroutsidewall with caulking or insulation to prevent energy loss.
NOTE: It has been found that a large part of the energy loss of the average home is due to outside air infiltrating the structure. Seal around duct work where it passes through outside walls or ceiling. Seal around electrical wiring and be sure the damper is working properly.
