IMPORTANT:
•
A minimum of 6" round (standard r this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10" rectangular duct(purchased separate
ly) must be used to maintain maximum airow eciency.
•
Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when connecting to provided
duct.
•
Please use Duct Run lculation below to compute total available ct r when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
•
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and s. Iflong duct run is required, increase
duct size om 6" to 7" or 8". If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake reducer. Reduc
ing duct size will restrict airow and decrease airow, thus reduce duct size as r away om opening as
possible.
•
If tus or ansitions are required: Install as far aw om opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.
•
Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 27-inch*.
•
Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.
•
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat
damage and re hazard; while hoods moted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its perrmance
and eciency.
•
If available, also rer to stove top manucturer's height clearance requirements and recon皿ended hood
mounting height above range.
• Due to dierent ceilg heit confiations, recoended height may not be applicable

Ductless Conversion
• Ductless conversion is intended r applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.
When converted, the hood nctions as a piing hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust
om cooking is drawn and ltered by a set of charcoal lters. The air is then puried and re-circulated back
within e home.
• We recommend to ALS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct
work, if possible. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood
into a piing it.
• When converted to be a "puriing" unit, a set of charcoal lters and an a订－diverter are required in addition to
its standard aluminum lter set. ailable at yo local resellers. The standard aluminum lters are intended
to capture residue om cooking, the optional charcoal lters help to puri mes exhausted om cooking,
and the optional air-diverter redirects ltered clean air back to the house.
