Install The Ductwork; Install Mounting Brackets - Broan 61000 Series Installation Instructions Manual

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal
ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between
the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood
to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will
reduce the performance of the hood. Use
as few of them as possible.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect 6" round
metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.
INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS

2. After wall surface is finished, secure
mounting brackets to framing using
dimensions shown.
