Faber NOPR30SS600, Installation Instructions Manual

3

ALL  WALL  AND  FLOOR  OPENINGS  WHERE  THE  RANGEHOOD  IS  INSTALLED  MUST  

BE  SEALED.

This rangehood requires at least 24" of clearance 

between the bottom of the rangehood 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.

The maximum depth of overhead cabinets is 13". 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 rangehood 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.

• Venting system MUST terminate outside the home.

• 

DO NOT

 terminate the ductwork in an attic or other enclosed space.

• 

DO NOT

 use 4" laundry-type wall caps.

• Flexible-type ductwork is not recommended.

• 

DO NOT

 obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

• Failure to follow venting requirements may result in a  fire.

   WARNING

!

Cold Weather installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a nonmetal

-

lic 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.

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 provide 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 turbu-

lence 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. 

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.
