PRELIMINARY
PROPER VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTION:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for
use with single wall ducting. However, some lo-
cal building codes or inspectors may require
double wall ducting. Consult local building
codes and local agencies before starting, to en-
sure that hood and duct installation will meet
local requirements. Hood blower speeds should
be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated
or air conditioned household air when maxi-
mum ventilation is not required. For best smoke
elimination, the lower edge of the hood should
BE INSTALLED A MINIMUM OF 30″ TO A MAXI-
MUM OF 36″ ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE. If
the hood contains any combustible materials
(i.e. a wood covering) it must be a minimum of
36″ above the cooking surface. Due to a high
volume of ventilation air, a source of outside
replacement air is recommended. This is par-
ticularly important for tightly sealed and insu-
lated homes. A reputable heating and ventilat-
ing contractor should be consulted.
