1 Determine whether hood will discharge vertically (3¼” x 10”

or 7” Round), or horizontally (3¼” x 10” only). For vertical or horizontal discharge, run ductwork between the hood location and a roof cap or wall cap. For best results, use a minimum number of transitons and elbows.

2 Use diagrams, below, for proper placement of ductwork and

electrical cutout in cabinet or wall. For a non-ducted installation, DO NOT cut a duct access hole.
