PART 1 Planning the Installation
CAUTION:
1. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the liner must be
exhausted to the outside. Never exhaust into a wall, an attic or a concealed
area in the building. This can create a potential hazard.
2. Consult a licensed ventilation contractor or qualified technician for proper
installation of exhaust ducting.
3. Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts – away from doors and
windows, when possible.
4. Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short as pos-
sible. Where turns are necessary, keep turning radius as large and as
smooth as possible.
5. The ducting must be air tight. Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws at
every duct joint. Then, seal the duct joints with high quality duct tape.
6. Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by state,
municipal and local codes.
