FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING
- Before beginulng tile
installation, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service discom]ecting means to prevent power
fi'om being switched on accidentally. When tile service
discom]ecting means cam]ot be locked, securely
tasteu a prominent warning device, such as a rag,
to the service panel.
DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the "Damage" section m_d proceed.
Tile venting system must exhaust to tile outside.
This hood can be vented vertically through upper
cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall.
Ductwork is not inclmled.
Exhaust connection:
Tile hood exhaust has been designed t{>mate with
standard 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting or 7" diameter
rom]d ducting.
If a 6" round duct is required, a rectai]gulai_to-roui]d
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less thma
a 6" diameter duct.
Maximum duct length:
For satisii_{'tory air movement, tile total duct length
of a 3¼" x 10" rectangulm; 6" or 7" diamemr rom]d
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.
NOTE: It's impommt that ducfing be installed using
tile u]ost direct route and with as ti_w elbows as possible.
This ensm'es clear venting {>fexhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely mad
nothing is blocking the ducts.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating tile total duct
length, add tile equiwdent lengths of all mmsitions and
adaptm_ plus tile length of all straight duct sections. Tile
charts on tile tollowiug pages show you how to calculate
total equi\zdent ductw{>rk length using tile approximate
feet of equiwdent length of sou]e typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangula>to-
rom]d transition adaptor is used, tile
bottom corne_ of tile damper will
have to be cut to fit, using tile tin
snips, in order to allow flee
u/oveu/eut of
tile
dai/iper.
Equiwdent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements for good venting
perti>rmance with any hood.
