Ductwork Plamah_g
• This hood may be vented vertically through upper
cabinets, soffit or ceiling. A duct transition piece is
supplied fin" vertical exhaust. Use locally supplied
elbows to vent horizontally through the rear wall.
See page 13.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood,
•Phm tile route fin" venting exhaust to tile outdoors.
• Use tile shortest and straightest duct route possible.
For satislhctm T l)eflbrmance, duct _un should not
exceed 1 O0 tL equivalent length tin" any duct
configurations.
• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute tile maximmn
permissible length fin" duct itlns to tile outdoors.
• Use metal ductwork only:
• A transition piece fin" 7" rotmd duct is supplied. Lrse
7" round duct or you may use 3-1/4" x 12" rectangular.
• Install a wall cap or roof cap with damper at the
exterior opening. Order tile wall or roof cap and
any transition needed in adwmce.
Kit -JXDW1
Order kitJXDW1 if your installation requires horizontal
ducfing fix)m the top of the hood through the back _Jll and:
•You have an S tL ceiling and need to use a JXCH
Series Chimney Cover, or
•You have a 12" cabinet or 12" sottit that the hood is to

Wall Framhlg for Adequate Support
•This vent hood is heavy. Adequate st_ ucmral sui_port
must be provided. Tile hood must be secured to
vertical studs in the wall. See page 14.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood with
duct cover be on site befl)re final fl'aming and wall
finishing. This will also hel I) to accurately locate the
ductwork and electrical service.

DUCT COVER REQUIREMENTS
We recommend that the vent hood and de(orative
duct cover (if used) be on site before final Kaming and
wall finishing. This will help to accurately locate studs,
ductwork and electrical service. Read these instructions
to determine if tile duct cover accessory can be used ibr
your installation situation.
Duct Cover Accessory:
* [)se tile decorative duct
cover to conceal ductwork
running fl'om tile top of
tile hood to tile ceiling.
* Tile duct cover accessory
consists of 2 pieces. Tile
outside piece is 12" high,
the inside piece is 22".
Nested together they are
24"rain., expanding to
a total maximum height
of 3 4 ':
* The outside piece can
be used alone to fill a
12 "h eight.
* Fox" heights over 12", tile
ceiling b*acket must be
installed to secm'e tile
cover at tile top,
To avoid unsightly gaps, plan the hood installation height
for duct cover use,
* The cover will fit a 12"rain. height fl'om tile top of tile
hood to tile ceiling,
-or 24"rain. and expanding up to 34"fl'om tile top of
the hood to tile ceiling.

FOR VERTICAIL (Straight Up) DUCTING:
* If venting out the ceiling, extend the centerline
forward on the ceiling.
- Measure 6-7/8" fl'om drywall to mark centerline for a
