Kenmore 233.5992 Series Use & Care / Installation Manual page 6

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the
hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to
perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows and transitions will reduce
the performance of the hood. Use as few of them
as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best
performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install a wall cap or roof cap. Connect round metal
ductwork to cap and work back towards the hood
location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between
ductwork sections.
The minimum hood distance above cooktop MUST NOT
BE LESS than 24".
A maximum of 30" above cooktop is highly recom-
mended for best capture of cooking impurities.
Distances over 30" are at the installer and users discre-
tion; providing that the ceiling height permits.
1. Construct wood wall framing that is flush with
interior surface of wall studs.
Make sure:
a) the framing is centered over installation
location.
b) the height of the framing will allow the
mounting bracket to be secured to the framing within
the dimensions shown.
2. After wall surface is finished, carefully center and
level the hood mounting bracket and secure it to
wall framing with (3) #8 x 1-1/2" mounting screws.
Tighten the screws completely.
Note: Do not use drywall anchors.
