Mount heights & clearance
IMPORTANT:
•
A minimum of 8" round (standard for this
range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10" rectangular duct
(purchased separately) must be used to
maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
•
Always use rigid type metal/aluminum
ducts if available to maximize airflow when
connecting to provided duct.
•
Please use Duct Run Calculation below 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 from
8" to 10". If a reducer is used, install a long
reducer instead of a pancake reducer.
Reducing duct size will restrict airflow and
decrease airflow, thus reduce duct size as
far away from opening as possible.
•
If turns or transitions are required: Install as
far away from opening and as far apart,
between 2, as possible.
•
Minimum mount height between stove top
to hood bottom should be no less than 27-
inch*.
•
Maximum mount height between stove top
to hood bottom should be no higher than
30-inch*.
•
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 efficiency.
•
If available, also refer to stove top
manufacturer's
requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations,
recommended height may not be applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
•
Round - 8" minimum
•
Rectangular - 3-1/4 x 10" minimum
(requires a 8" to 3-1/4x10" adaptor, not
supplied)
