VENTING OPTIONS
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The rangehood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from the
kitchen, or installed to operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted
For ducted installation it is recommended that 150mm diameter, rigid or semi-rigid ducting
is used. This will require a 160mm (min) round hole in the ceiling or wall. Care should be
taken to position the hole correctly.
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest duct route possible and use rigid or
semi-rigid ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal ducting should
only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult installations) and if used ensure that it is straight,
smooth and extended as much as possible.
