FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING - Before beginning tile
installation, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting means to prevent power
fl'om being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
tasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the "Damage" section mad proceed.
The venting s):stem must exhaust to the outside.
This hood can be vented vertically through upper
cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall.
Ductwork is not inclmled.
Exhaust connection:
Tile hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter
ro/md ducting.
If a 6" r(mnd duct is required, a rectangula>to-ro/md
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less thml
a 6" dlameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisti_ctory air movement, tile total duct length
of a 3¼" x l 0" rectangulm; 6" or 7" diameter ro/md
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.
NOTE: It's important that ducfing be installed using
the most direct route and with as tew elbows as possible.
This ensm'es clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swhag freely mad
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equiwflent lengths of all transitions and
adaptm_ plus the length of all straight duct sections. The
charts on the t011owing pages show wm how to calculate
total equiwflent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equiwflent length of some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangula>to-
ro/md transition adaptor is used, tile
bottom corne_ of tile damper will
have to be cut to fit, using tile tin
snips, in order to allow flee
uloveu/ellt of tile daI/lpeI',
Equiwflent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements fl)r good venting
perfl)rmance with any hood.
