Construct wood wall framing that is flushwith interior surface of wall studs.Make sure:a) the framing is centered overinstallation location.b) the height of the framing will allow themounting bracket to be secured tothe framing within the dimensionsshown.2. After wall surface is finished, secure mount-ing bracket to framing using dimensionsshown.INSTALL THE DUCTWORKNOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use onlymetal ductwork.1. Decide where the ductwork will runbetween the hood and the outside.2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hoodto perform most efficiently.3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitionswill reduce the performance of the hood.Use as few of them as possible. Largerducting may be required for bestperformance with longer duct runs.4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect roundmetal ductwork to cap and work back to-wards hood location. Use duct tape to sealthe joints between ductwork sections.FRAMING BEHIND DRYWALL38-1/16"= bottom of hood 24"above cooktop44-1/16"= bottom of hood 30"above cooktopROOF CAPROUNDDUCTDECORATIVEFLUEHOODWALLCAPROUNDELBOW24” TO 30” ABOVECOOKING SURFACE38-1/16î to 44-1/16îabove cooktop6 ”A D A P T E RINSTALL THEHOOD1.
