INSTALL
THE DUCTWORK
NOTE: To red use 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.

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
(6x70mm
and four washers
(D.6.4mm).
Make sure screws are driven into center of
joists and framing for maximum strength.
5. Adjust the overall height of the support frame.
Loosen and re-tighten the 4 screws in the
height
adjustment
slots
as necessary.
Insert 4 screws (3.9x9.5mm) and 4 washers
(D.4.5mm)
located
in the
Hardware
Package.
Note that #4 screws
and #4
washers can be located on the front, and #4
screws and #4 washers can be located on
the opposite face (rear).
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.
