INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(Ducted Hoods Only)

1. Decide where
the ductwork
will run
between the
hood and the
outside.

2. A straight,
short duct
run will allow
the hood to
perform most
efficiently.

3. Long duct
runs, elbows
and transitions
will reduce the
performance of
the hood. Use
as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required
for best performance with longer duct runs.

4. Install wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal ductwork
to cap and work back towards the hood location. Use duct
tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.

Position the electrical outlet within the space covered by the
decorative flue and where it will not interfere with the round
duct. Make sure the outlet is no further than 12” from the top
of the hood chasis and that the outlet does not interfere with a
mounting bracket fastening area or where the decorative flue
touches the wall.
