External Venting Requirements.

When planning new ductwork, always look
for the most direct route to the outside. Ven-
ting can be done through the roof or directly
through the back outside wall. (See Figure
1).
Only use rigid type metal ducting (plastic
ducting is generally not permit-ted by code).
Flexible ducting could restrict airflow by up to
50%. Always fasten connections with sheet
metal screws and tape all joints with certified
Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
Do not use screws to fasten ductwork to
the hood, only use tape as the screws will
stop the dampers from opening and your
hood will not work. This hood requires a 6"
round duct outlet. You can increase the duct
size of the duct run but never decrease it.
Use the shortest and most direct route pos-
sible.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: It is advisable to test
run the range hood before installation.
BEFORE STARTING – please read this
entire document and ensure you are fully
conversant with the require-ments and li-
mitations. These units weigh approximately
125lbs and therefore require a minimum of
two people to install.
Always, wherever reduce the number of
transitions and turns with as few sharp an-
gles as possible.
Two staggered 45 degree angles are better
than one 90 degree. Make these turns as
far away from the motor exhaust as possible,
with as much space between each bend.
