RIGID DUCTWORK
LIMITATIONS
Rigid metal ductwork should not exceed 54 feet
of straight 4 inch duct. Each 90° elbow and the
exhaust hood should be considered equivalent
to 8 feet of straight ductwork.
For example, if an exhaust hood and two 90°
elbows are used, the maximum straight duct
allowed would be 26 feet. Not more than three
90° elbows should be used in any rigid ductwork
run with an exhaust hood. Four feet of straight
duct should be allowed between 90° elbows.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into an out-
let that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equip-
ment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
