1. SELECT BLOWER OPTION AND INSTALL DUCTWORK
Either an interior or exterior blower or in-line blower may be used with this hood. The Best UP26M must be installed with blower models iQ6,
P3, P5, P6, P8, ILB3, ILB6, ILB9, ILB11, EB6, EB9, EB12 or EB15 only. Other blowers cannot be substituted. (Blowers sold separately).
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
If installing in-line blower, refer to instructions packed with in-line blower and follow steps 1 up to 3, 5, 8, 11, 12, 16 and up of this
manual.
Install proper-sized ductwork, elbow(s) and roof or wall cap for the type of blower you are installing. If using 7" or 8" round ducts, use a
transition. Use 2" metal foil duct tape to seal duct joints.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop must not be less than 24" . A maximum of 36" above cooktop is highly recommended
for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 36" are at the installer and users discretion.
