IMPORTANT:
• A minimum of 6” round or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct
(purchased separately) must be used to maintain maximum
airflow efficiency.
• Alwaysuserigidtypemetal/aluminumductsifavailableto
maximizeairflowwhenconnectingtoprovidedduct.
• PleaseuseDuctRunCalculationbelow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from6”to7”or8”.Ifareducer
is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer.Reducingductsizewillrestrictairflowand
decreaseairflow,thusreduceductsizeasfaraway
from opening as possible.
• Ifturnsortransitionsarerequired,installasfaraway
from opening and as far apart, between two (2), as
possible.
• Minimummountheightbetweenstovetoptohood
bottom should be no less than 24-inch for electric cook
tops and minimum of 30-inch for gas stove tops and no
higher than 30-inch for electric cook tops.

height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range.
Installation
• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
• Ventworkcanterminateeitherthroughtherooforwall.Toventthroughawall,a90°elbowisneeded.
IMPORTANT:
• NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or
garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
• Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
• Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certied Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
