Ducting Options and Examples

Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual.
All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this
manual, is declined.

Venting methods

The hood is equipped to discharge of fumes to the outside towards the rear (Ducting version - Horizontal discharge).
Fumes may be discharged towards the top side (Ducting version - Vertical discharge).
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the Ductless
(Recirculating) version. Attach a charcoal filter on the internal side of the metal filter and the deflector F on top of the range
hood to cover the outlet of the blower.
NOTE1: For ductless (Recirculating) and for Ducting version - Vertical discharge: Blower must be repositioned so that its
outlet face the top side.
NOTE2: For ductless (Recirculating) version only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit.
Minimum Duct Size (Ducting version - Vertical discharge): 6" Round Pipe.
Minimum Duct Size (Ducting version - Horizontal discharge): 3 1/4" x 10"

Preparation

Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient the
capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.
The hood shall be installed at 20" minimum above the countertop.
Not recommended for use with pro style gas ranges.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.
Ductless (recirculating) version ONLY: provide enough spece on top of hood to let air reciculate in room.
