Ducted installation - vertical blower output
Mounting, Part I:
It is recommended for the center of the range hood
to be approximately 26” - 28” above the cooktop,
for best capture performance.
1.) Measure 20 1/2” from the cooktop to the bottom
of the hood.
2.) Remove the mounting bracket from the hood, position
it on the wall, and ensure it ’s level.
3.) Mark the location of the mounting screws. Note that
these LOAD-BEARING screws should be connected to
a stud, framework, or 3/4” plywood - NO
T to bare sheetrock.
4.) Attach the bracket to the wall.

Backdraft Damper Installation
A backdraft damper is supplied with the range hood.
For DUCTED installation, it’s strongly recommended to DISCARD this damper, and use a damper built into the
end-cap (wall or roof cap).
For DUCTLESS installation: insert the damper as shown into the blower output collar, open the blades, and secure
the damper with the provided screw
Attach the bracket to the wall.

The electric circuit to which the hood is to be connected
must be:
* In compliance with local electrical standards,
* Properly grounded,
* Dedicated, not shared with other appliances or dimmable lights.

10
The duct (air pipe) must have:
* A diameter of 6” throughout its entire run, including the end-cap (roof or wall cap).
* A slight slope downward in horizontal sections - to prevent condensation from
dripping back into the blower motor.
* Minimum number of angles & elbows, to minimize turbulence and loss of suction.
* Minimum required length to avoid vibrations / turbulence, which can affect
the performance of the hood as well as user’s comfort level.
