Important notes

Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall ducting and/or a damper. Consult local

●

building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.

Semi-rigid ducting is recommended for maximum effectiveness.

●

Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is

●

only required when using the grill.

For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30" (762mm) to a maximum of 36" (914mm) above the cooking surface.

●

If the hood contains any combustible materials (e.g. a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36" (914mm) above the cooking surface.

Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of make-up air (outside replacement air) is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable

●

heating and ventilating contractor should be consulted.
