Before installing the hood

1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight run or as
few elbows as possible.
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. At least two people are necessary for installation. Wear
gloves to protect against sharp edges.
3. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types
of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer, check if they
perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.
4. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional
backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air flow
and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize conduction of
outside temperatures as part of the ductwork. The damper
should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the
ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
5. Make up air: Local building codes may require the use of
Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation
Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your
HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.
Do not install insulation within 76 mm (3 in) of
any part of the rangehood.
Check of the ceiling
The ceiling must be flat, horizontal, sturdy enough, and resistant
Warnings
The hood is designed to be installed in a dropped ceiling
The dropped ceiling must be sturdy and have a load-bearing
capacity suitable for a product with max. weight of 28 Kg (model
with steel panel) or 30 Kg (model with glass panel).
Do not install the hood directly in the dropped ceiling panels, but
use a suitable frame or support.
