Ducting options

The method of ducting should be carefully considered before installing the rangehood.
The guide below recommends the ducting components to use for all common ducting
configurations – through the top of the home (for the roof and soffit) and through the rear of
the home. 150 mm round ducting should be used in conjunction with this model rangehood.
Alternatively this rangehood can be operated in recirculation mode (see Recirculation mode
page 6).

Some authorities require rangehoods to be vented outside. Attention should be given to ensure
that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air is fulfilled.
It is recommended that Ø150mm ducting is to be used, however a reducer from Ø150mm
to Ø120mm is included with the rangehood should the Ø120 ducting be required.
For optimal efficiency, use smooth-walled ducting for reduced noise and increased airflow.
Flexible ducting should only be used as a last resort.
Note: we recommend an Easy Fit by Fisher & Paykel or a UNIDUCT ducting system, products that
have been designed to expel air efficiently
Extra lengths and/or bends may be required, depending on the length required and whether there
is any structural material in the run, eg. rafters.
Some authorities require rangehoods to be vented outside. Ducted models should comply with
this requirement in every respect.
