This unit can be vented vertically through upper cabinets or
horizontally through an outside wall. A typical vertical installation is
shown in Figure 1. A typical horizontal installation is shown m Figure
2.
For proper ventilation when used with an indoor electric grill, see
page 2 for guidelines for proper duct sizing. Improper duct sizing or
installation of restrictive roof jacks can reduce air moving capacity
and provide inadequate ventilation for an Indoor electric grill. For
most efficient smoke removal, the top of the hood should be
approximately 55 inches (137.6 cm) from the floor.
1. Make a template or transfer measurements shown in Fig. 3 to
cabinets or wall. ■
2. Cut holes to accomodate ventilating duct allowing ’i" ( 6 cm)
clearance on all 4 sides for back vent. Allow (1.9 cm) clearance
toward front for vertical vent. Allow Vi" (.6 cm) on others sides for top
vent.

4. Run wire through wall or cabinets according to National
Electrical Code and applicable local codes. (DO NOT turn power on
until installation is complete.)
