Outside Patio or Lanai Installation
Construction methods and installation shall comply with all local building codes. Internal
ducting shall be sealed using outdoor rated metal duct tape.
The LYNX hood with stainless steel canopy is approved for installation in an outside patio or lanai area if the area
is covered with a protective roof over the hood (wall style hoods are to be also mounted to a solid protective rear
wall) and installed with a GFCI protected branch circuit. Roof or Wall Caps are to be sealed to prevent moisture
migration to structure interior; use an outdoor rated sealant suitable for adhesion to the installation materials. See
Fig-8 for rear exhaust installation and Fig-9 for top exhaust installation.

See Fig – 10 for structure with elevated roof/ceiling.
The Roof shall cover the top of the hood and extend a minimum of 42” from each side of the hood and 30”
minimum from the outer most edges of the hood front.
Since, outdoor areas are subject to strong cross drafts it is recommended that the hood extend at least 3 – inches, and
preferably 6 – inches, over either side of the cooking area to maximize the cooking discharge capture area. Cross
drafts will affect the efficiency of the ventilation system and cooking discharge can escape capture by the
hood/ventilation system. Be sure to plan for adequate ventilator (blower) capacity to minimize cross drafts
influencing the removal of cooking discharges.
