DUCTING
Aminimum of 6" round or 3-1/4" x lO"rectangular
duct must be used to maintain maximum air flow
efficiency.
Alwaysuserigid-typemetalductsonly.
Flexibleductscouldrestrictair flowbyupto 50%.
Alsouse calculation (onright) to compute total
availableduct run when using elbows, transitions
andcaps.
ALWAYS,when possible, reduce the number of
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6" to 7 or 8". If a reducer
is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer.Reduceduct size as far away from open-
ing as possible.
If turns or transitions are required:
Install as far away from opening and asfar
apart, between 2, as possible.

DUCTING
NEVERexhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces,ceiling, attics or
garages. All exhaust must beducted to theoutside.
UseMetal ductwork only.

1.Determinehood height, center, mark, level and hang hoodto wall through mounting keyholes on back.
2. Installduct work and electrical.
3. Centerand fasten bracket for upper telescopic duct cover onto the wall.
4. Slip upper and lower telescopic duct covers onto top of blower and screw in place.
5. Secure hood towall studs whenever possible; use appropriate wall fasteners & hardware
(notsupplied) for hollow drywall, tiled, concrete, brick wall applications for mounting hood..

INSTALLATION
DUCTLESS CONVERSION
Ductlessconversion is intendedfor applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be
installed.When converted, the hoodfunctions as a "purifying" hood rather than an exhaust hood.
Fumesand exhaustfrom cooking is drawn and filtered bya set of optionalCarbonFilters.The air
is then purified and re-circulated back within the home.
Werecommend to ALWAYSexhaust air outside of the home by employing existingor installing
new duct work, if possible. The hood is mosteffective andefficient as an Exhaustunit. Onlywhen
the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a "purifying"unit.
Whenconverted to be a "purifying" unit, a set of Carbon Filtersare required ontop of itsstandard
Metal Filter set. Order according to its Part number below. The standard Metal Filtersare intended
to capture residue from cooking and the optional Carbon Filters help to purify fumes exhausted
from cooking for re-circulation.
CarbonFilters (Required)
1.PurchaseductlessCarbonFiltersas follows:
Hood Model: Part No. Filters in pkg.
JTX8836ADS JFLTRC8836 3
2. Remove metal filters on hood.Clip
carbonfilters onto each filter.
3. Re-install metal filters.
4. Turnon filter change indicator on
control panel.
5. Carbon Filters must be replaced after
every 120 hoursof use (or approximately
every 2 to 3 months basedon the average
of 1-2 hrs. of dailycooking time). The
microprocessor in the controlswhen set,
will count usage time and indicate when
carbonfilter replacement is required.

Ducting
1. Install a 6" straight pipe and a "T" connector/
or a 90 elbowto divert air through louvers on
duct cover.
