INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

(DUCTED HOODS ONLY)

NOTE: 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 roof or wall cap. Connect round

metal ductwork to cap and work back to-
wards hood location. Use duct tape to seal
the joints between ductwork sections.
