PREPARE TO INSTALL THE HOOD
ADVANCE PLANNING
Ductwork Planning
•These vent hoods are equipped for 8" round
ductwork.
•Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
•Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors.
•Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run
should not exceed 100 ft. equivalent length for any
duct configurations.
•Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute
the maximum permissible length for duct runs
to the outdoors.
•Use rigid metal ductwork only.
•Install a roof cap with damper at the exterior
opening. Order the cap and any transitions
and length of duct needed in advance.
Ceiling Framing for Adequate Support
•These vent hoods are heavy. Adequate structural
support must be provided. The ceiling structure
must be capable of supporting the weight of the
hood and any inadvertent user contact loads
(approximately 200 pounds). The hood support
frame will be supported by 2 x 4 cross framing.
•Installation will be easier if the vent hood is
installed before the cooktop or countertop below
is installed.
Duct Covers
•All models are shipped with duct covers. For
supplied duct cover ceiling heights for vented
installation and recirculating installation, refer
to table on page 12.

in accordance with local codes.
Grounding Instructions
The grounding conductor must be connected to
a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the hood.

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
