PLANNING DUCTWORK INSTALLATION

This section is for BUEZ0 and BUEZ2 hoods only. For BUEZ1hoods, skip this section and go to "Preparing the Installation Location".

Begin planning ductwork by deciding where duct will run between hood and outside. For best performance, use shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of elbows. There are several choices.

Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to make sure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts. If this condition does exist, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap, it is easier to duct vertically and then use an elbow.

Start at the exterior and run ductwork back to the range hood. For best performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum number of elbow. Tape all duct connections using metal foil duct tape.

PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION

NOTE: MOUNT HOOD SOTHAT BOTTOM OF HOOD IS 18"TO 24"ABOVE COOKING SURFACE.TOP FRONT OF HOOD SHOULD BE FLUSHWITH FRONT OF CABINET FRAME.

IF DISTANCE BETWEEN WALL AND FRONT OF CABINET FRAME IS MORETHAN 12",THEREWILL BE A SPACE BETWEEN BACK OF HOOD AND WALL. THIS IS NORMAL.

OMIT STEP 1 IF HOOD WILL BE INSTALLED UNDER CABINETS WITH FLUSH BOTTOM OR INSTALLED USING THE EZ1 BRACKETS.

FILLER STRIP

1.For cabinets with recessed bottoms only, if not using EZ1 brackets: Install wood filler strips on each side of recessed area under cabinet. Use two

1" x 2" strips cut to length (use thicker strips if necessary). Fasten strips with wood screws about 3" in from each end.
