WARNING
• Observe all governing codes and ordinances during planning
and installation. Contact your local building department for
further information.
• This appliance must be installed in accordance with the
accompanying installation instructions.
• DO NOT install an additional in-line or external blower to
increase the length of the duct run. Even small differences
between blower air flow rates can greatly reduce the air draw
of the hood.
Maximum Duct Length
The maximum straight duct length for the hood is 50 feet. To determine the
actual maximum duct run, subtract the equivalent length of each elbow,
transition and cap from 50 feet. See the Duct Planning Guide or the
installation instructions for more details.
REAR EXHAUST DIAGRAM
■ Chimney can accommodate up to 10” round
duct work
■ Unit can be installed to exhaust through the
ceiling or through the rear wall (see diagram
below).
Optional Recirculation Kit
(PN AVDH1/AVDH2)
Converts hood to a recirculating
configuration in instances where
exhausting the hood outside the
building is not practical or desired.
Consists of a top cap and 2
charcoal filters. When installed,
the top cap redirects air flow out
the vents in the sides of the hood
chimney assembly. The provided
charcoal filters are installed
underneath the mesh type filters
included with the hood. The
charcoal filters reduce smoke and
fumes before the hood exhaust
is vented into the room. Requires
25 inch long piece of 8 inch round
duct (not included).
