HEIGHT OF INDOOR HOOD

The bottom of the hood should be 30” (76.2 cm) min. to 36” (91.4 cm) max. above the countertop. This would
typically result in the bottom of the hood being 66” (167.6 cm) to 72” (182.9 cm) above the floor. The bottom of the
hood should never be more than 72” (182.9 cm) above the floor or more than 36” (91.4 cm) above the countertop.
These dimensions provide for safe and efficient operation of the hood.

PROPER INSTALLATION/DUCTING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM ANY

VENTILATION PRODUCT
1. •All CFMs stated are based on tests at .1 static pressure: without applying static pressure, CFM would be greatly overstated.
2. •Duct run length is for general reference only; for longer duct runs, increase duct size and contact a qualified and trained
installer.
•Straight runs and gradual turns are best; for example, each 90o elbow is equivalent to 5-10 feet (1.52 - 3.05 cm) of straight run.
•Never use flexible duct; it creates back pressure/air turbulence and greatly reduces performance.
•Proper performance is dependent upon proper ducting; make sure that a qualified and trained installer is used.
•Check with a qualified and trained installer or local codes for makeup air requirement, if any.
3. •Max. amp rating for hoods includes recommended ventilator kit rating; all products must be hard wired direct with 2-wire with
ground.
