a. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Including fire-rated construction.
b. Sufficient air is needed for power combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
back-drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and
the local code authorities.
c. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
d. Ducted fans must always vent to the outdoors.
e. If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and be connected to a GFI
(Ground Fault Interrupter protected branch circuit).
g. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.
h. Make sure the power is off before installing, wiring or maintenancing.

DUCTING
A minimum 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular 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%.
Also use calculation (on page 5) to compute total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or
transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size.
If turns or transitions are required; install as far
away from hood duct output and as far apart,
between the two as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 24”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
32”.
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
lose its performance and efficiency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.

WARNING FIRE HAZARD
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages.
All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal ductwork only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
