Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 26”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than 36”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage and fi re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will lose its performance and effi ciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range.

Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air fl ow by up to 50%.
Also use calculation (on page 5) to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from hood duct output and as far apart, between the two as possible.
