Before installing the hood

1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as few
elbows as possible.
CAUTION
: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. At least two people are necessary for installation.
3. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of
walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they perfectly
fit with your cabinet/wall.
4. Do not use flex ducting.
5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional back
draft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a
nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of outside
temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper should be
on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as
close as possible to where the ducting enters the heated portion of
the house.
6. Make-Up air: Local building codes may require the use of
make-up air systems when using ducted ventilation systems
greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM
varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for
specific requirements in your area.
NOTE:
Use the Range Hoods models ELI136SS and ELI142SS (Dual Blower
Motor = 1200CFM) above cooktops rated higher than 65,000 Btus.
