The manufacturer declines all responsibility
in the event of failure to observe the instruc-
tions given here for installation, maintenan-
ce and suitable operation of the product. The
manufacturer further declines all responsibi-
lity for injury due to negligence and the war-
ranty of the unit automatically expires due
to improper maintenance and/or installation.
If vented externally, 6" / 150mm round duc-
ting must be available for the hood through
the ceiling, in line with the central vertical
axis of the range hood.
If it's gas range or cook top recommanded
8".
This unit must have it's own ductwork. Do
not under any circumstances vent this unit
into any other ductwork or exhaust ducting
in the building.
Furthermore, please read carefully all of the
following installation instructions.
- Use an exhausting pipe whose maximum
length does not exceed 5 meters.
- Limit the no. of elbows in the piping, since
each elbow reduces the air capacity
of 1 linear meter. (Ex.: if you use no. 2 x 90 °
elbows, the length of piping must not exceed
3 meters).
- Avoid abrupt direction changes.
- Use a 6"/8" mm constant diameter pipe for
the whole length.
- Use piping approved by standards in force.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN: It is advisable to
test run the range hood before installa-
tion.
BEFORE STARTING – please read this
entire document and ensure you are fully
conversant with the require-ments and li-
mitations. These units weigh approximately
125lbs and therefore require a minimum of
two people to install.
Recommended height from cook top to un-
derside of hood = 30" for gas, 25" for elec-
tric.
Use the shortest most direct ductwork rou-
te possible. Only use metal ducting - plastic
ducting is generally not permitted by code.
Do not use flexible metal ducting as the rid-
ges of the ducting cause severe air turbulen-
ce and will significantly reduce the efficien-
cy of any hood -THIS TYPE OF DUCTING
WILL REDUCE EFFICIENCY BY 50%.
Vent hoods may interrupt the proper flow of
exhaust gases from fire-places, gas furna-
ces and gas water heaters. To minimize the
risk of drawing these lethal gases back into
the home please follow the heating equip-
ment manufacturers safety standards and
guidelines. Refer to NFPA and ASHRAE for
additional information.
