Preparation and Setup
The fan factory default direction is through top A of the
hood. However, the fan can be rotated to vent through the
rear B of the hood.
When planning new ductwork, always find the shortest,
most direct route to the outside.
Duct Length Calculation Table
The maximum straight duct length for the hood is deter-
mined by the type of duct used. See the chart below.
Duct Size Maximum Duct Run
8-inch Round 60 feet
10-inch Round 50 feet
3 1/4-in x 10-in Rectangular 50 feet
For each elbow and transition added, a certain length must
be subtracted from the maximum duct run to compensate
for wind resistance.
To determine your maximum length:
1. Start with the total max. length of your duct run, then
2. Subtract all of the ductwork equivalent lengths (see
chart below).

Planning the Ductwork
WARNING
• To prevent combustion by-products, smoke or odors
from entering the home and to improve efficiency, tape
all duct joints securely.
• Range hoods may interrupt the proper flow of smoke
and combustion gases from furnaces, gas water heat-
ers, and fireplaces. To avoid drawing lethal gases into
the home, follow the manufacturer’s recommendation
for these devices and consult NFPA and ASHRAE rec-
ommendations.
• Failure to install a remote blower or proper ductwork
may result in a backdraft and/or insufficient venting of
smoke and fumes.
• DO NOT install an additional in-line or external blower
to increase the length of the duct run. Even small dif-
ferences between blower air flow rates can greatly
reduce the air draw by the hood.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside the house or building. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into
attics, crawl spaces or garages.
• Local building codes may require the use of makeup air
systems with ventilation systems that move air greater
than the specified movement rate (CFM).
The specified rate varies based on locale. Consult a
qualified HVAC specialist when designing the system
for the requirements in your area and to assure optimal
performance.
• All ductwork materials (including screws and foil tape)
must be purchased separately.
• Make sure ductwork does not interfere with floor joists
or wall studs.
• Fasten all joints with sheet metal screws and seal with
certified duct tape or foil tape.
• Two 8-inch exhausts may be merged into one 10-inch
duct using Dacor transition kit AHT10. See page 18
for details.
Vent Direction Options
WARNING
During duct installation, make sure there are no
obstructions that keep the damper flaps on the top of the
hood from opening.

10
Ductwork Tips
Wherever possible, reduce the number of transitions, turns,
and sharp angles. Two staggered 45° angles are better
than one sharp 90° angle.
Keep turns as far away from the hood exhaust as possible,
and keep as much space between any bends as possible.
For best performance: use round duct instead of rectangu-
lar, especially when elbows are required.
If multiple elbows are used, try to keep at least 24 inches of
straight duct between each elbow.
Avoid using “S” or back-to-back adjacent elbows.
In extremely cold weather regions, use thermal breaks, i.e.,
short sections of non-metallic duct, to avoid indoor heat
loss. Locate the break as close as possible to the outside
pass-through point.
Do not use flexible metal duct. Do not use ductwork that is
smaller than what is advised in the tables.
• The hood exhaust connects to an 8-inch round duct.
You can increase the duct size over the duct run if
desired.
• To prevent a backdraft, never decrease the duct size
over the run. If existing ductwork is smaller than 8
inches in diameter, remove it and replace it with 8-inch
ductwork.
• Do not rely on tape alone to seal duct joints. Fasten
all connections with sheet metal screws, and tape all
joints with certified duct tape or foil tape.
• Use sheet metal screws as needed to support the
weight of the ducting.
• To prevent backdrafts, a damper at the duct outlet may
also be required.

Preparation and Setup
Preparing the Mounting Location
Holding brackets and hardware are provided to temporarily
hold the hood in place while you permanently fasten the
hood to the wall.
The illustrations below show the purpose of the holding
brackets and the support behind the wall.
1. If mounting the hood to brick or masonry, select
anchors capable of holding the full weight of the hood.
2. Make sure the mounting surface is properly reinforced
to support the full weight of the unit.
• If mounting the unit to drywall or a plastered surface,
install a reinforced mounting block between the studs.
• Attach screws directly to the studs and cabinets if they
align with the mounting holes in the back and top of the
hood.

• Observe all governing codes and ordinances during
site preparation and installation. Contact your local
building department for further information.
• Failure to properly anchor the hood to the wall may
result in personal injury due to the unit falling off the
wall.
• To avoid an electric shock hazard and property dam-
age, locate electric wires and water pipes and avoid
drilling or cutting in the vicinity.
• Use the temporary holding brackets only to hold the
hood in place until permanent anchoring is secured.

These measurements and marks are for centering and
leveling the hood, marking the duct cutouts, and installing
the holding brackets.
The holding brackets temporarily hold the hood while you
mount it permanently into place.
Have a marking tool, tape measure, and level ready.
1. Position the hood in the same orientation as it will be
when installed. (For example, if it is a top vent installa-
tion, set the hood with the vents on top.)
2. Measure the distance from the edge of the hood to the
center of the exhaust port.
3. Transfer that measurement to the wall (for a rear vent),
or overhead (for top vent). Measure the X and Y axis to
find the centerline.
4. Extend the line down 10 inches (25.4 cm).
5. Cut a hole that is 1 inch larger than the duct. Dual
exhaust models require two (2) holes.
