The ARKEW48 non-duct kit is required for a non-ducted installation.

I
NSTALLATION
Plan where and how the ductwork will be installed.
A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently. Long duct
runs, elbows and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few
of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for longer duct runs.
Install wall or roof cap. Connect 6” round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards the hood location. Use 2” metal foil duct tape to seal the joints.

NSTALLATIONS
The minimum hood distance above cooktop is 24”. A maximum of 30” above
cooktop is recommended for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 30” are at the installer and users discretion providing that ceiling
height and decorative flue length allow it.
NOTE: Ceilings of 9 ft. or more require flue extension model AEEW48SS (stainless
steel), AEEW48BLS (black stainless steel) or AEEW48WH (white).
