9 WARNING
Improper installation of gas appliances and ventilation
hoods can create a risk for carbon monoxide which can be
harmful. To reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning,
ensure the gas appliance is properly installed according to
the manufacturer’s instructions, as well as ensuring the
hood is vented to the outside for proper exhausting of
gases or fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can
be harmful or fatal if inhaled. To reduce the risk of fire and
to properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the
hood should be vented outside of the building only.
Consult local building codes for requirements or
restrictions related to installation of ventilation products in
recirculation mode.
Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or
range can vary. To obtain the necessary installation height
above a cooktop, rangetop or range, consult the
appliance's installation manual or combination matrix.
NOTICE: The hood can be damaged from excessive heat
if a range or rangetop is operated with multiple burners at
high settings under a hood that is installed at minimum
clearances and is turned off.
Distance from cooking surface
The installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or
range is recommended as a minimum height of 30''
(762 mm); however, it is necessary to follow the cooking
appliance manufacturer's installation instructions for
proper hood height.
Refer to local building codes for the latest requirements or
restrictions when installing ventilation products in
recirculation mode.
