CAUTION:
•
Locate the cooking area for minimum cross drafts—away from doors and windows, when possible.
•
Ducts must be of adequate size and duct runs should be as short as possible. Where turns are necessary,
keep turning radius as large and as smooth as possible.
•
The ducting must be air tight. Use a minimum of 2 sheet metal screws at every duct joint. Then, seal the duct
joints with high quality duct tape.
•
Only use ductwork constructed of materials deemed acceptable by state, municipal and local codes.
1. A qualified person must complete the installation of this appliance.
2. Plan the installation so that all minimum clearances are met or exceeded. Dimensions shown provide minimum
clearances, unless otherwise specified.
3. IMPORTANT: If the Air-O ® hood is installed as a liner for a wood hood, proper installation of the hood as a liner
is directly related to the material from which the custom canopy is constructed. You must provide structural
framing and tight backing in the areas in which you are securing the liner inside your custom canopy. Failure to
do so could distort and damage the liner and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT: Hood is 1/8” narrower than widths shown below.
Dimensions
WARNING! Following Are Manufacturer’s Suggestions. Always Observe Local Building Codes.
Hoods installed in custom canopies constructed of combustible materials should be installed with the combustible
material structure a minimum of 36” above the cooking surface. Hoods installed in custom canopies constructed of
non-combustible materials, should be installed with the non-combustible material structure a minimum of 30” above
the cooking surface. Follow all instructions regarding minimum safe clearances and installation location. Failure to
do so may result in a safety hazard or fire. To reduce the risk of fire use only metal ductwork.
