Air extraction
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be harm-
ful or fatal if inhaled. The exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building
Do not terminate the exhaust ducts
in attics, garages, crawlspaces, etc.
Please read and follow the
risk of personal injury, and follow all local
building codes when installing the hood.
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.
– Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made

prevent condensation dripping into
