INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use
only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between
the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 8" round
metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.
INSTALL SUPPORT SYSTEM
1. At hood location, install 2 X 4 cross framing
between ceiling joists using dimensions
shown.
2. Finish the ceiling surface. Be sure to mark
the location of the ceiling joists and cross
framing.
3. Position the support frame as shown. The
UP ARROW should point towards the ceiling
after installation.
4. Secure the upper half of support frame to
joists and cross framing with four screws
(6x60mm and four washers (D.6.4mm).
Make sure screws are driven into center of
joists and framing for maximum strength.
5. Insert 4 screws (3.9x9.5mm) and 4 washers
(D. 5.2mm) located in the Hardware
Package into the height adjustment slots.
[Note that #4 screws and #4 washers can
be located on the front and on the rear
(opposite face)]. Loosen and re-tighten the
4 screws as necessary to adjust the overall
height of the support frame to the appropriate
level.
Note that the hood height is 10" and that:
- on 8' ceilings, the bottom of the hood must
be 24" min. and 27" max. above the cooktop.
- on 9' ceilings, the bottom of the hood must
be 27" min. and 30" max. above the cooktop.
