Installation Instructions
Mounting Height, Clearance, & Ducting
36"
Min 20” - Max 36” (electric cooktops)
Min 24” - Max 36” (gas cooktops)
A minimum of 6” round or 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular duct must
be used to maintain maximum air flow eciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible ducts could
restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Also use the ducting calculation sheet (on page 8) 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.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far away from
hood duct output and as far apart, between the two as
possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom
should be no less than 20” for electric cook tops and 24” for
gas cook tops.
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 lose its
performance and eciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range. Always check your local codes for any dierences.
