WARNING

• Observe all governing codes and ordinances during planning

and installation. Contact your local building department for

further information.

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with the

accompanying installation instructions.

• DO NOT install an additional in-line or external blower to
increase the length of the duct run. Even small differences

between blower air flow rates can greatly reduce the air draw

of the hood.

Maximum Duct Length

The maximum straight duct length for the hood is 50 feet. To determine the
actual maximum duct run, subtract the equivalent length of each elbow,
transition and cap from 50 feet. See the Duct Planning Guide or the
installation instructions for more details.

IMPORTANT: The minimum installed distance from the hood to the cooking

surface must be no less than 30 inches. The minimum specified distance

may be higher for the particular range or cooktop in use. Check the
manufacturers specifications for the cooktop or range.

Optional Recirculation Kit
(PN AVDI1/AVDI2)

Converts hood to a recirculating
configuration in instances where
exhausting the hood outside the
building is not practical or desired.
Consists of a top cap and 2
charcoal filters. When installed,
the top cap redirects air flow out
the vents in the sides of the hood

chimney assembly. The provided

charcoal filters are installed

underneath the mesh type filters

included with the hood. The

charcoal filters reduce smoke and

fumes before the hood exhaust
is vented into the room. Requires
20 inch long piece of 8 inch round
duct (not included).
