Kruger KA300 - Mounting the Hood; Connecting the Ductwork

11
Mounting the hood will require at least two people.
1. Raise the hood onto the body onto the hood mounting brackets.
2. Align the hood onto the mounting brackets. Gently lower the hood until it
securely engages the bracket.
3. Attach the backdraft damper aps to the exhaust outlet at the top of the
unit.
4. Be sure that the damper is rmly attached while the aps can still move
freely.
5. Attach ductwork to the unit with screws that are included on the two sides
of the exhaust outlet.
1. Decide the pathway of the ductwork connecting the ventilation unit to the
exterior of the house.
2. The shorter and straighter the ductwork, the better the unit will perform.
3. Longer runs, elbows, transitions and other modications will reduce the
performance of the hood. Larger diameter ducts may be required for
optimal performance with longer ducts.
4. Attach an adequate length of 6” diameter duct to the exhaust outlet of the
unit.
5. Do not exhaust into a shaft, ute, or pipeline that is being used to exhaust
fumes from other appliances burning gas or other fuels.
6. Install a roof or wall cap on the exterior of the house. Connect round
metal ductwork to cap and work backwards toward the hood’s location.
Use duct tape to seal the joints between sections. And secure with metal
screws if needed.
