Hood should be large enough and Cooking Appliances
located so that the Hood overhangs the Cooking S u rface as much as possible.
2. Consult a Competent Kitchen Designer or Ventilation
Engineer for proper Hood size and C.F.M. requirements.
3. Provide make-up air input to the kitchen so exhausted
air is not drawn through furnace unit or down fireplace
chimney.
4. Locate the Cooking Area for minimum cross drafts,
away from doors and windows, etc., when possible.
5. Ducts must be adequate size: 8" diameter for the
VTN600Q; and duct runs should be as short and as
straight as possible. Where turns are necessary, keep
turning radius as large and as smooth as possible.
