DUCTING |
|
A minimum of 6” round ducting must be used to maintain maximum air flow efficiency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Use calculation worksheet to compute total duct work.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 28”.
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 fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting height above range. Always check your local codes for any differences.
Mounting Height (Recirculating or Ducted) Minimum Ceiling Height 7’8’. Hood mounted 28” above cooking surface; 64” from floor. Maximum Ceiling Height 9’2”. Hood mounted 36” above cooking surface; 72” from floor.
Duct cover extension kit available for ceiling heights up to 12 feet. Turn to page 18 for part number and ordering information.
