• All contact surfaces between the hood and cabinetry/walls must be sturdy, solid, and
at right angles.

• Install the hood so it can be removed for service.

• WARNING

• Follow local codes during planning/installation. Contact the local building department
for details. Use only code-approved ductwork.

•

To reduce risk of injury from reaching over a hot appliance, do not place cabinets
directly over the range.

IMPORTANT: See the diagram on pg. 17 for the minimum installed distance from hood
to cooktop surface. This distance depends on the range or cooktop in use. Check the
manufacturer's specifications for the cooktop or range.

Installation instructions

English20

Planning the Ductwork

WARNING

• To prevent combustion by-products, smoke, or odors from entering the home, and to
improve efficiency, tape all duct joints securely.

• Range hoods may impede proper flow of smoke and combustion gases from furnaces,
gas water heaters, and fireplaces. To avoid drawing lethal gases into the home, follow
the manufacturer’s directions for these devices and NFPA/ASHRAE recommendations.

• Failure to install a remote blower or proper ductwork may cause a backdraft and
insufficient venting of smoke/fumes.

• DO NOT add an in-line or external blower to lengthen the duct. Even small differences
between blower air-flow rates can greatly reduce the hood’s air draw.

CAUTION

To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, duct air to the outdoors only (not into
walls, a

During duct installation, ensure the damper flaps on top of the hood can open freely.

• All ductwork material (incl. screws and foil tape) must be purchased by the customer.

• Ductwork must not interfere with floor joists or wall studs.

• On dual-exhaust models, the two 8” exhausts may be merged into one 10” duct using

• Fasten all joints with sheet-metal screws, and seal with certified duct/foil tape.

Duct-Length Calculation Table

The type of duct determines the hood’s maximum straight duct length.

To determine your maximum length, start with the duct run’s total max. length, then
subtract all of the ductwork equivalent lengths. (See the chart.)

Duct Type Max. Duct Run

8-in. Round 60 feet

10-in. Round

3 1/4-in x 10-in Rectangular

Ductwork Equivalent Lengths

For each new elbow and transition, you must subtract “equivalent lengths” from your total
maximum duct run length to compensate for wind resistance.

Piece Subtract

English22

Ductwork Tips

• Try to minimize transitions/turns/sharp angles (e.g., two staggered 45° angles are
better than one sharp 90° angle).

• Keep turns as far away from the hood exhaust as possible; keep as much space
between bends as possible.

• For best performance, use round instead of rectangular ducting, especially when
elbows are needed.

• If multiple elbows are used, try to keep at least 24 in. of straight duct between each
elbow.

• Avoid using “S” or back-to-back adjacent elbows.

• In extremely cold-weather regions, use thermal breaks (i.e., short sections of non­metallic duct) to avoid indoor heat loss. Put the break as close to the outside pass­through point as possible.

• Do not use flexible metal ducting, or ductwork smaller than what the tables advise.

• The hood exhaust connects to an 8” round duct. You can increase the duct size over the
duct run if desired.

• To prevent backdraft, never decrease the duct size over the run. If existing ductwork is
less than 8 inches in diameter, replace it with 8” ductwork.

• Join ducting with sheet-metal screws, then seal with certified duct/foil tape. Never join
ducting with tape only.

• Support the weight of the ducting with sheet-metal screws as needed.

• To avoid backdraft, a damper at the duct outlet may be required.

WARNING

• Electricity to the range hood should be installed only by a licensed electrician.

• Observe all local codes during site preparation and installation. Contact your local
building department for details.

• Improperly anchoring the hood to the wall may cause personal injury if the unit falls.

• To avoid electric-shock injury and property damage, do not drill/cut near in-wall
plumbing and electrical wiring.

• Use the temporary holding brackets to support the hood only until the hood is
permanently anchored.

Hardwiring the Hood

Power may be suppled to the hood through an electrical junction box or a dedicated 15­Amp. circuit breaker.

WARNING

• Before connecting the wiring, turn OFF power to the hood at the fuse box or circuit
breaker.

• Miswiring the hood creates an electric shock or fire hazard and may damage its
electrical system.

• Do not ground the wires to the neutral (white) wire. Connect the ground wire to a
separate, properly grounded wire installed by a licensed electrician.

• Use only proper-gauge wire that meets all codes and can accommodate the total
connected loads.
