Installation Considerations
Clearances and requirements
The custom insert unit is designed for installation inside a
custom-built hood assembly. It is for ducting to the
outside. It cannot be used in conjunction with a
recirculation unit.
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.

Hood Width
The hood width should be no less than the width of the
cooking surface. For proper performance, the housing
must cover the entire cooking surface.
For proper performance, the hood must be centered
horizontally above the cooking surface. Where space is
not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase
capture area.
Distance From Cooking Surface
The installation height ranges from a minimum height of
30'' (762 mm) to a suggested maximum height of 40''
(1,016 mm); however, it is necessary to follow the cooking
appliance manufacturer's installation instructions for
proper hood height.
Unit Weight
This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure and support
must be provided in all types of installations. When
calculating the load for the housing support system, be
sure to consider the weight of the ventilation unit.
