6PROPER VENTILATION REQUIREMENTSIMPORTANT INFORMATION:CAUTION!Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes orinspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies before starting, toensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements. Hood blower speeds should be variable toreduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required. For bestsmoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should BE INSTALLED A MINIMUM OF 30" TO A MAXIMUM OF 36"ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE. If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering) it must be aminimum of 36" above the cooking surface. Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of outside replacementair is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating andventilating contractor should be consulted.VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS:STANDARD COUNTER INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONSHOOD: (24" Deep x Unit Width)BLOWER: 30”/36" COOKTOPS600 CFM min.# 3O" Min. clearance tonon-combustible surface,36" Min. clearance tocombustible surface – fromcooktop cooking surface18" Min. clearance tocombustible surfacefrom side of cooktopouter edge5"min. tocombustiblesurface∆ AS DEFINED IN THE “NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE” (ANSI Z223.1, LASTEST EDITION).THE HORIZONTAL SURFACES OF THE RANGE TOP (COOKTOP) TRIM MUST NOT BE BELOWCOUNTERTOP LEVEL.NOTE: SEE MANUFACTURE’S RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DUCTING SPECIFICATIONS.
