WALL FRAMING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT

THIS VENT HOOD IS HEAVY. ADEQUATE STRUCTURE AND SUPPORT MUST BE PROVIDED IN ALL
TYPES OF INSTALLATIONS. IF MOUNTING ON DRY WALL, THE HOOD MUST BE SECURE TO
VERTICAL STUDS IN THE WALL, OR TO A HORIZONTAL SUPPORT.

PREPARE THE INSTALLATION


For safety & optimum performance the vent hood must be installed above the cooking surface
at 26" minimum for an electric range and 30" for a gas cooking surface (If the instructions for
installation of the gas hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.)

The exhaust air must not be discharged into a chimney which is used for exhausting fumes from
other appliances burning gas or other fuels.

Determine the exact location of the vent hood. Mark
the location. Find the centerline of the cooktop.
Use a level to draw a vertical straight pencil line on the wall.

Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors. Use the
shortest and straightest duct route possible. Long duct runs,
elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood.
Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may
be required for longer duct runs.

Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the exterior
opening/wall. Join the wall or roof cap to the ductwork.

Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood
location. Use 2" metal foil duct tape to seal the joints.
