INSTALL THE DUCTWORK
These instructions will follow plans made on Page 2. Start
at the exterior and run ductwork back to the range hood.
For best possible performance, use the shortest possible
duct run and a minimum number of elbows. Do not vent a
range hood into an attic space. A buildup of grease in the
attic could become a fire hazard.
Use only metal ductwork. DO NOT USE PLASTIC DUCT. As-
semble duct run securely so that in case of a grease fire on
FILLER
the range, the fire will be contained inside metal ductwork.
STRIP
Use duct tape to make all duct connections secure and air
tight.
1. Follow appropriate directions below for type of duct run you
install.
Wall Cap Discharge: Use saber saw or keyhole saw to cut hole
slightly larger than duct size used so that duct will line up easily with
damper/duct conector on hood. Install casing strips if cap will be
installed on siding. Attach required amount of duct to wall cap and
run duct back to hood. Fasten cap to wall and caulk well.
Roof Cap Discharge: Cut a hole in roof slightly larger than duct
size being used. Run ductwork down to hood location. Leave 3/4" of
duct projecting above roof surface on high side. Trim duct parallel
to roof pitch and seal all around duct with roof cement.
Carefully trim shingles and slide back of roof sheet under shingles.
Nail roof sheet to roof under shingles at top two corners and two
sides. Nail sheet directly to roof in four places at bottom.
Using roof cement, seal all nail heads and shingles which were cut
or lifted. Do not seal bottom edge of roof sheet.
