BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The manufacturer declines all responsibility in
the event of failure to observe the instructions
given here for installation, maintenance and
suitable operation of the product. The
manufacturer further declines all responsibility
for injury due to negligence and the warranty of
the unit automatically expires due to improper
maintenance and/or installation.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN: It is advisable to test run
the range hood before installation.
BEFORE STARTING – please read this entire
document and ensure you are fully conversant
with the require-ments and limitations. These
units weigh approximately 55lbs and therefore
require a minimum of two people to install.
CAUTION: FOR GAS RANGE & COOKTOP INSTALLATIONS:
MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS AT
LEAST 30” ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE AND NO
GREATER THAN 10’.
FOR ELECTRIC RANGE & COOKTOP INSTALLATIONS:
MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS AT
LEAST 25” ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE AND NO
GREATER THAN 10’.
FOR RESIDENTIAL USE ONLY. PLEASE, READ
INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
DUCTING
6” round ducting must be available for the hood
through the ceiling, in line with the central
vertical axis of the range hood.
This unit must have it’s own ductwork. Do not
under any circumstances vent this unit into any
other ductwork or exhaust ducting in the
building.
Furthermore, please read carefully all of the
following installation instructions.
- Use an exhausting pipe whose maximum length
does not exceed 5 meters.
- Limit the no. of elbows in the piping, since
each elbow reduces the air capacity
of 1 linear meter. (Ex.: if you use no. 2 x 90 °
elbows, the length of piping must not exceed 3
meters).
- Avoid abrupt direction changes.
- Use a 6” constant diameter pipe for the whole
length.
- Use piping approved by standards in force.
Use the shortest most direct ductwork route
possible. Only use metal ducting - plastic
ducting is generally not permitted by code. Do
not use flexible metal ducting as the ridges of
the ducting cause severe air turbulence and will
significantly reduce the efficiency of any hood
-THIS TYPE OF DUCTING WILL REDUCE EFFICIENCY BY
50%.
Vent hoods may interrupt the proper flow of
exhaust gases from fire-places, gas furnaces and
gas water heaters. To minimize the risk of
drawing these lethal gases back into the home
please follow the heating equipment
manufacturers safety standards and guidelines.
Refer to NFPA and ASHRAE for additional
information.
