Considerations before installing 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. If allowed in your area, use metallic flex ducting only to connect rigid duct directly to transitions. 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. Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower the hood above the cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke. We recommends the hood be installed 30-36" above the countertop. The lower height may be inconvenient for tall people and large cooking vessels. Check your ceiling height and the hood height maximum before you select your hood. 4 Installation Preparation of mounting surface (Drywall) 1. Select a mounting height comfortable for the user and mark on wall behind cooktop. Tools required for installation Screw driver (flat head, pozidrive n°2 and torx 10) Allen spanner 4mm Electric drill with twist bit Ø 10 mm 2. Mark center line of cooktop and draw vertical line from bottom of hood to the ceiling. Tape template, matching center-line and hood bottom as shown in Figure 2. Mark centers of the 6 fastener locations through template on wall then remove template. Mark wall with horizontal line 1" above highest and 1" below lowest fastener location. Find studs behind drywall by tapping wall or using a stud finder. [. . . ] The resulting space on top of the chimney can be filled with a 1/4" thick piece of plywood cut to the inside cross section of the chimney cover and finished to match the ceiling. Cut the self-adhesive rubber tape supplied with the hood in 4 identical sections. Attach two pieces of tape to each side of the ceiling bracket. Snap lower chimney duct cover into place around ceiling bracket. Figure 7 Rear discharge: A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood. [. . . ]
