Installing the hood

Preparation

The vent hood should be on site before final

framing and wall finishing. This will help to

accurately locate the duct work and electrical

service.

Installation will be easier if the vent hood is

installed before the cooktop and countertop are

installed.

Ductwork and wiring locations:

Determine the exact location of the vent hood.

Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.

Use the shortest and straightest duct route

possible.

For satisfactory performance duct run should

not exceed 100' equivalent length for any duct

configurations.

Refer to "Ductwork installation guidelines" chart

to compute the maximum permissible length for

duct runs to the outdoors (fig. O).

Ducting installation guidelines

For safety reasons, ducting should vent directly

outdoors (not into an attic, underneath the house,

into the garage or into any enclosed space).

Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible.

Duct fittings (elbows and transitions) reduce air

flow efficiency.

Back to back elbows and ,S" turns give very

poor delivery and are not recommended. A short

straight length of duct at the inlet of the remote

blower gives the best delivery.

Transition to duct from the integral blower or

remote duct transition as close to the downdraft

as is possible.

In order of preference, use

1st. 6" round duct

2nd. 5" round duct

Use of flexible metal round duct: Limit use to short

lengths and do not crush when making corners.

Install a wall cap with damper or roof cap at the

exterior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and

any transition needed in advance.

Use 6" rounded metal duct (5" optional) only.
