PART 3
Planning the Installation
The 06 W/P series ventilation modules are designed for installation inside wood hood canopies. Proper installation
of the liner is directly related to the material from which the custom canopy is constructed. A qualified person must
complete the installation of this unit. Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded.
Dimensions shown provide minimum clearances, unless otherwise specified. Important: You must provide
structural framing and tight backing in the areas in which you are securing the liner inside your custom canopy.
Failure to do so could distort and damage the liner and void the warranty.
Given that most installations are different, a back-draft damper is not provided with this unit. Always install
ventilation products with an approved wall or roof cap. Duct performance is improved by using round, smooth
metal duct work instead of rectangular. If multiple elbows must be used, ensure that there is a minimum of 24" of
straight duct between any two elbows. Avoid "S" or back to back configurations caused by adjacent elbows. Do
not rely on duct tape alone to seal duct joints. Use sheet metal screws as required to support the duct.
WARNING!
For maximum ventilation performance, the bottom of the hood or liner should be 30 - 36 inches
(76.2 - 91.4 cm) above the cooking surface (minimum is 24"). This would typically result in the bottom of
the hood being 66 - 72 inches (167.6 - 182.9 cm) above the floor. These dimensions provide for safe and
efficient operation of the hood. Always observe local building codes.
