Advance Planning
DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR VENTED
NODE
• This vent hood is designed to be installed beneath a
cabinet or beneath a cabinet mounted to a soffit.
• This hood is designed for 8" round ducting. The
8" round duct can transition to 3-1/4" x 10" or
3-1/4" x 12".
• Plan the route for venting exhaust to the outdoors
considering any transitions you may require.
• Use locally supplied ducting to vent horizontally
through the rear wall or vertically through the
ceiling.
• Use the shortest and straightest duct route
possible. For satisfactory performance, duct run
should not exceed 100' equivalent length for any
duct configurations.
• Refer to "Duct Fittings" chart to compute the
maximum permissible length for duct runs to
the outdoors.
• Install a wall or roof cap with damper at the exte-
rior opening. Order the wall or roof cap and any
transition and length of duct needed in advance
from a local hardware store.
• Determine the exact location of the vent hood.
• Wall or ceiling duct must be projected out at least
r' for duct connection.
WARNING: TO REOUCE T.ERISK OF
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
• For better air flow results, use rigid metal ductwork.
DUCTWORK PLANNING FOR
RECIRCULATION NODE
All parts are included to install in recirculation mode.
MOUNTING FOR ADEQUATE SUPPORT
• The hood must be secured to vertical studs in the
wall. See the Wall or Ceiling and Cabinet Preparation
section for vented or recirculutiong installation.
• We strongly recommend that the vent hood be on
-site to accurately locate the ductwork and electri-
cal service.
• Installation will be easier if the vent hood is in-
stalled before the cooktop and countertop are
installed.
IMPORTANT: The vent hood must be secured
to the cabinet and at least two wall studs and
dry wall with anchors. The cabinet must be ca-
pable of supporting :100 Ibs.
