DUCTING
A minimum of 7” round or 3-1/4” x 10” rectangular
ductmustbeusedtomaintainmaximumairow
e󰀩ciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ductscouldrestrictairow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 26”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
36”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
resultinheatdamageandrehazard;whilehoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
loseitsperformanceande󰀩ciency.
If available, also refer range manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
Vertical Ducting:
7” round or 3 1/4” x 10” rectangular minimum
Horizontal Ducting:
3 1/4” x 10” rectangular minimum
DAMAGE-SHIPMENT / INSTALLATION:
• Please fully inspect unit for damage before
installation.
• If the unit is damaged in shipment, return the
unit to the store in which it was bought for
repair or replacement.
• If the unit is damaged by the customer, repair
or replacement is the responsibility of the
customer.
• Iftheunitisdamagedbytheinstaller(ifother
thanthecustomer),repairofreplacementmust
be made by arrangement between customer
and installer.

Use caution during installation to prevent scratches or damage to the
stainless steel.
2. Cut out an opening in the bottom of the cabinet by following the
dimensions in FIG. 1. If ducting the one piece liner horizontally, also
cutoutanopeninginthebackofthecabinet(ifapplicable).FIG.2.
3. Prepare liner for installation into cabinet by following the steps on
page 11. Continue to Step 4 after preparation is completed.
4. Lift liner into bottom opening of cabinet and secure to interior of
cabinetusing(12)#8x1/2”stainlesssteelscrews;(4)screwsinthe
frontand(4)screwsinthesidesand(4)screwsintheback.FIG.3.
WARNING: Make sure the surface you are securing the liner to
is capable of holding the weight of AK91. Failure to do so may
cause personal injury or damage to cooking surface or counter.
5. Finalizeinstallationofelectricalandductwork.Sealductworkwith
certiedaluminumducttape.Poweronliner,checkforleaksaround
duct tape and verify proper operation.
NOTE: If access to top of liner is not available after installation,
electricalandductworkconnectionmayneedtobemadepriorto
installing the liner.
CAUTION: At least two installers are required
due to the weight and size of the liner.

Installation – Recirculation Option
DUCTLESS RECIRCULATING (OPTION)
Ductlessrecirculatingisintendedforapplicationswhereanexhaustductworkisnotpossibletobeinstalled.
When converted, the one piece liner functions in air “purifying” mode rather than exhausting the air. Fumes
andexhaustfromcookingisdrawnandlteredbyacharcoallter.Theairisthenpuriedandrecirculated
backintothekitchen.
Werecommendtoalwaysexhaustairoutsideofthehomebyemployingexistingorinstallingnewductwork,
ifpossible.Thelinerismoste󰀨ectiveande󰀩cientasanexhaustunit.Onlywhentheexhaustoptionisnot
possible should you use the liner in recirculating mode.
Whenconvertedtorecirculatingmode,acharcoallterisrequiredtobeinstalledontopofthemeshlterand
areturnairventisneededtodirectairbackintothekitchen.Themeshlterisintendedtocaptureresidue
