WARNING FIRE HAZARD

NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces,
ceiling, attics or garages.
All exhaust must be ducted to the outside, unless using the recirculating option.

Use single wall rigid Metal ductwork only.

Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints w/ certied Silver
Tape or Duct Tape.

Installation - Ducting Options

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK:

NOTE: to reduce the risk of re, use only metal ductwork.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most eciently.

3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood.
Use as few of them as possible.

4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 8" round metal ductwork to cap and work
back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork
sections.
