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 with a transition B for discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version).
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 and the deflector F on the duct cover support bracket G. Fumes and vapours
are recycled through the top grille H by means of a duct connected to the transition B and the transition mounted on the
deflector F.
NOTE: For ductless (Recirculating) version only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit.
Minimum Duct Size (Ducting/Ductless version): 8" Round Pipe.

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.
CAUTION:
FOR GAS RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS NOT LESS
THAN 30" (76,2 CM) ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE.
FOR ELECTRIC RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS NOT LESS THAN 24"
(61 CM) AND NOT MORE THAT 30" (76,2 CM) ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE.
HOUSEHOLD USE. PLEASE, READ INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION.
Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood.
