Selecting the Venting Direction
The range hood blower is currently oriented for a ductless installation, but can
also be configured to vent outside your home using either a horizontal or vertical
venting configuration. Your range hood is supplied with a 3-1/4" x 10" damper
frame for a transition piece from the hood to the ducting. Below is a brief ducting
installation description. Your installation will depend on whether there is existing
ducting or if there is need to install a ducting run. For the best performance,
use the shortest possible ducting path and the least amount of elbows when
discharging horizontally or vertically.
Vertical Discharge – Vertical discharge is the most
common method of hood installation. If your kitchen has
an attic space above, the ducting may be run through
the cupboard and the attic to a roof cap. Use a 7"
Vertical
round duct (not included).
The following is another option for this configuration. If your kitchen has a soffit
above the cabinet, it can be used to run the duct up into the soffit and then
discharge the air horizontally through the outside wall to a wall cap.
Horizontal Discharge - If the range is located
against an outside wall, then horizontal discharging is
ideal, provided there are no obstructions such as wall
joists or places where openings are difficult to make.
Horizontal
If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken
to ensure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and the
damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the range hood is
operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts. If
this condition exists, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a
wall cap, it is easier to duct vertically and then to use an elbow.
In this mode, please unscrew the 3 screws (as shown), then remove the baffle
and save it for use later.
SCREW
Ductless – For ductless installations, air is vented back
into the kitchen through the opening in the range hood grill.
If you do not anticipate heavy cooking, this method may be
preferable. Ductless installation requires the use of charcoal
or HEPA* filters (included) to remove odors, which should
be replaced at regular intervals depending on use. Check
with your local retailer or dealer for replacements.
Ductless
Note: This filter is not dishwasher safe!
*HEPA filtration is not available on all models. Please contact Haier at 1-877-337-3639
