hood bottom should be no lessthan 24".

96"

36"

Maximum mount height should be no higher

than 32".

It is important to install the hood at the

proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too

low could result in heat damage and fire haz-

ard; while hoods mounted too high will be

hard to reach and will loose its performance

and efficiency.

Ifavailable, also refer range manufacturer's

height clearance requirements and recom-

mended hood mounting height above range.

DUCTING ze

Always use rigid type metal ducts only,

Flexible ducts could restrict air flow by up to 50%. DuctRunCalculation:

Also use calculation (on right) to compute total

available duct run when using elbows, transitions

and caps.

ALWAYS when possible, reduce the number or

transitions and turns. If long duct run is required

increaseduct sizefrom 6" to 7 or 8". Ifa reducer

is used, install a long reducer instead of a panca

reducer. Reduceduct size asfar away from open
