1. GENERAL INFORMATION
These hoods can be connected to ductwork to discharge through the top
or the back of the hood to the outside. BP/RL6100F/HFRM series can
be installed without ducts to return filtered air back into the room. For
a ductless installation a separate filter is required.
Order conversion kit FKM65.
PLANNING
• Recommended mounting height is 24" to 30" above the cooking surface.
• The hood shall be mounted to the bottom of a standard wall cabinet. If the
hood must be mounted directly to a wall, secure the hood to wall studs.
• All wiring must be properly grounded. Connection should be made to a
110-120vAC lighting circuit (15 Amp) in the circuit breaker or fuse box.

crawl spaces or garages.
A. IF YOU ARE DUCTING TO THE OUTSIDE...
Begin planning the duct work by deciding where the duct
will run between the range hood and the outside. For the
best performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a
minimum number of elbows. Use 3-1/4" x 10" (83 mm x 254 mm)
rectangular duct.
B. IF YOU ARE USING A VENTLESS HOOD...
Disregard instructions for duct cutouts. Discard damper
