* 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 satisihctory performance, duct rtm should not
exceed 100 equivalent length fl)r any duct
configurations.
* Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the maximum
permissible length fl)r duct runs to the outdoors.
* Use metal ductwork onl):
* A transition piece fl22 7" round duct is supplied. Llse
7" rotmd 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 the wall or roof cap and
any transition needed in advance.
Kit - JXDW1
Order kitJXDWl if your installation requires horizontal
ducting tix)m the top of the hood through the back _lll and:
*You have an 8 tL ceiling and need to use a,JXCH
Series Chimney Cove_; or
* You have a 12" cabinet or 12" soffit that the hood is to
be mounted beneath.
