PLAN THE INSTALLATION
This rangehood can be installed as either ducted or ductless.
The blower can be vented through the wall or ceiling. To
vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is used. When installed
ductless, the rangehood vents out of grates on the sides of
the chimney. Ductless installations require a Ductless Kit,
available from your dealer.
This rangehood can be used with an optional remote blower.
If a remote blower is used, then the internal blower must be
removed and discarded. Both blowers cannot be used together.
The remote blower connects to the rangehood using a separate
wiring cable not supplied with the rangehood. The wiring cable
should be installed at the same time as the ductwork.
WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS OR HOLES
FOR INSTALLATION, DETERMINE WHICH VENTING
METHOD WILL BE USED AND CAREFULLY CALCULATE
ALL MEASUREMENTS.

The Nova chimney is adjustable and designed to meet varying

24" above the countertop. The chimney can be adjusted for
ceilings between 8 feet and 9 feet.
Min. - 1"
Max. - 20"
The ductrun should not exceed 35 feet if ducted with 3 1/4"
by 10" rectangular duct and 60 equivalent feet if ducted with
9" round ductwork. Calculate the length of the ductwork by
adding the equivalent feet in FIGURE 3 for each piece of duct
in the system An example is given in FIGURE 4. For best
results, use no more than three 90° elbows. Make sure that
there is a minimum of 24" of straight duct between elbows if
more than one is used. Do not install two elbows together.
Remote blowers require 9" round duct.
