Install The Ductwork; Install Mounting Brackets; Install The Hood - Broan 61000 Series Manual

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only
steel 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
steel ductwork to cap and work back towards
hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints
between ductwork sections.
INSTALL MOUNTING
BRACKETS
1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush with
interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a) the framing is centered over installation
location.
b) the height of the framing will allow the
mounting brackets to be secured to the
framing within the dimensions shown.
2. After wall surface is finished, secure mount-
ing brackets to framing using dimensions
shown.

INSTALL THE HOOD

3. Hang the hood from the brackets through the
rectangular cut-outs on the back of the
hood. Cut-outs are larger than the brackets
to allow for horizontal adjustment.
The bottom of the hood should be 24" to 30"
above the cooking surface.
4. Height adjustment screws provide vertical
adjustment.
5. Depth adjustment screws provide horizon-
tal adjustment.
6. Secure the hood with additional mounting
screws. Use drywall anchors, provided, if
wall studs or framing are not available.
