Attaching the chimney

The use of a chimney extension, allows
the hood to be installed at various
distances from the ceiling.
NOTE: The extension must be
intalled in relationship to the method
of venting; Extraction or
Recirculation.
^ Remove the protective foil from

^ Bend the top hanging tabs 45�°

extension easier. Be careful of sharp
edges.
Recirculation Air extraction
The extension piece has vented
openings on one end.
These vents are required for recir-
culation mode and will be closest to the
ceiling when installed.
For air extraction, the vents are not
required and are covered by the

^ Pull the chimney extension slightly
outwards and snap over the upper

When installing for recirculation, ensure
that the vents are positioned so they
line up with the diverter.

Air extraction
Condensate trap
Important:
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation. In some cases, a
condensate trap may also be required
to collect and evaporate any
condensate which may occur.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
â?? If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.
