1. Arda hoods exhaust vercally up through the ceiling to the roof
(Fig. 3). They can be ducted to the rear behind the decorave
chimney duct through an outside wall.
2. Plan where the ductwork will run between the hood and the
outside.
3. A short straight duct run will produce the most air ow. Longer
lengths and elbow ducts will reduce the eciency of the blower.
4. Install a roof or wall cap outside your home. Connect a 6” round
metal duct to the cap and work backwards towards the hood. Ensure
connecons are completely sealed with duct tape.

1. Decide on the mounng height of the hood (C - Fig. 2). You will need to consider the following:

range is 24” and above a gas range is 30”. Check your range’s
installaon manual for the correct minimum mounng height
for your installaon.

2. Mark the mounng height (C) on the plumb line (B).
3. The mounng holes on the hood are used for aaching the
hood to the wall. Measure the distance between the boom of the hood and the top of the
mounng holes on the hood (D - Fig. 5). Draw a line perpendicular to the center/plumb line (B)
at this height. Measure the distance between the
mounng holes on the hood (E). Center and mark this
measurement on line D. Ensure that this measurement
is centered on either side of the center (plumb) line.
This is where the mounng holes are to be posioned.
4. Behind the drywall and any backsplash material, in-
stall cross-bracing between the wall joists at the level
of the mounng screw holes (Fig. 4)
5. Insert the mounng screws through the marked
mounng holes, leaving about 1/4” of the thread
exposed. Ensure you use the appropriate type of
screws for your wall/crossbracing.
