VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
A suitable ventilation hood may be installed above the range.
Fisher & Paykel has a choice of ventilation hoods designed to match the rest of our kitchen appliance family. See fisherpaykel.com or your local dealer for more details.
IMPORTANT
z
Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.
z
Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air when maximum ventilation is not required.
Normally, the maximum blower speed is only required when using the grill or the self-cleaning cycle.
z
If a custom hood canopy contains any combustible materials (eg a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36" (914mm) above the cooking surface.
z
Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of make-up air (outside replacement air) that complies with local codes and regulations is required.
