DUCTING
A minimum of 6” round duct must be used to
maintain maximum air flow efficiency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%.
Use calculation worksheet to compute total duct
work (Page 5).
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of
transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far
away from duct opening and as far apart between
the two transitions as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 26”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
34”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
loose its performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer’s
height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range. Always check
your local codes for any differences.
Duct cover extension kit available for ceiling heights
up to 12 feet. Turn to page 18 for part number and
ordering information.

Installation – Mounting the Hood
Hood is intended to be mounted to a finished ceiling.
1. Ceiling Preparation: Determine hood mounting location and temporarily tape paper template (incluided with the
hood) to the ceiling. Cut-out internal shaded area of template to allow the ductng and electrical to pass through
(approx. 7”W x 7-1/2”D). Add wood blocking (min. 2” x 4”) onto ceiling joists to refinforce ceiling above the drywall.
(FIG. A, #1) Secure (2) 1-1/2” wood screws into points A and B of the paper template (FIG. B). Do not completely
tighten screws, leave approx. 1/4” exposed.
2. Hood Preparation: Remove screws securing top and bottom support frames together. Adjust support frame to
accomodate the desired hood height and re-assemble the frame using the previously removed screws (2 screws
for each support frame arm). (FIG. A, #2)
3. Lift support frame assembly up to the ceiling making sure the the word “front” on the top support frame faces the
front of the hood where the controls will be located (FIG. C). The key-holes on the top support frame should cover
the wood screws previously installed in the ceiling. Slide support frame towards narrow end of key-holes to lock
the frame in place.
4. Install the last (2) 1-1/2” wood screws into the two remaining corners of the top support frame to secure it to the
ceiling. Tighten all screws.

Ductless recirculation is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.
When converted, the hood functions as a recirculating hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust
from cooking are drawn and filtered by a set of optional charcoal filters. The air is then purified and re-circulated
back within the home.
We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct work,
if possible. The hood is most effective and efficient as an exhaust hood. Only when the exhaust option is not
possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a recirculating hood.
When converted to be a recirculating hood, a set of charcoal filters are required on top of its standard Metal
Filter set. Order according to its Part number below. The standard Metal Filters are intended to capture residue
from cooking and the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking for re-circulation.
RECIRCULATING KIT (REQUIRED IF NO DUCTING IS USED)
Kit includes charcoal filters, charcoal filter brackets and air diverter plate.
Hood Model Part No. Filters in Pkg.
RH00436G/S RHRK004S 2
1. Purchase recirculating kit per the part number above
2. Secure air diverter plate to top support frame. (FIG. H) Run 6” ducting
from top of hood and secure to air diverter plate.
3. Remove mesh filters from hood. Secure the charcoal filter bracket to the
inside of the hood behind mesh filters with (4) M3.5 x 8 screws. Clip
charcoal filters into each charcoal filter bracket opening. (FIG. H)
4. Re-install mesh filters.
5. Charcoal filters must be replaced after every 120 hours of use (or
approximately every 3 to 4 months based on the average of 1 - 2 hrs. of
daily cooking time).
Note: Refer to manual included with recirculating kit for more detailed
installation instructions.
