Install The Ductwork - Frigidaire PL36WC50EC Professional series Use & Care Manual

iNSTALL THE DUCTWORK
(DUCTED HOODS ONL Y)
,_ CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions wilt reduce the performance of the
hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger duct!rig may be required for best
performance with longer duct runs.
4. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back
towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sec-
tions.
