ALL WALL AND FLOOR OPENINGS WHERE THE Range Hood IS INSTALLED MUST
BE SEALED.
This Range Hood requires at least 24" of clearance
between the bottom of the Range Hood
and the cooking surface or countertop. This hood has been approved by UL at this distance
from the cooktop.
This minimum clearance may be higher depending on local building codes. For gas cooktops
and combination ranges, a minimum of 30" is recommended and may be required.
Overhead cabinets on both sides of this unit must be a minimum of 18" above the cooking
surface or countertop. Consult the cooktop or range installation instructions given by the
manufacturer before making any cutouts.
MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION The installation of this Range Hood must conform to the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280). See
Electrical Requirements"

•
DO NOT

obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a fire.
WARNING
!!!!
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Determine which venting method is best for your application. Ductwork can extend either
through the wall or the roof.
The length of the ductwork and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to pro-
vide efficient performance. The size of the ductwork should be uniform. Do not install two
elbows together. Use duct tape to seal all joints in the ductwork system. Use caulking to seal
exterior wall or floor opening around the cap.
Flexible ductwork is not recommended. Flexible ductwork creates back pressure and air
turbulence that greatly reduces performance.
Make sure there is proper clearance within the wall or floor for exhaust duct before making
cutouts. Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut,
then a supporting frame must be constructed.
WARNING - To Reduce The Risk Of Fire, Use Only Metal Ductwork.
CAUTION - To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside
– Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces,
or garages.
Cold Weather installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetallic
thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent
system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be as close
as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.
3.
When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other
hidden utilities.
4.
Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
