WARNING
Because of the weight and size of the rangehood canopy, two or
more people are needed to move and safely install the rangehood
canopy. Failure to properly lift rangehood could result in damage
to the product or personal injury.
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
This rangehood can be installed as either ducted or
ductless. In a ducted application, this rangehood can
be vented through the wall or ceiling. To vent through
a wall, a 90° elbow is used. When installed ductless,
the rangehood vents out of grates on the sides of the
chimney. Ductless installations require a Ductless
Conversion Kit, available from your dealer.
WARNING! BEFORE MAKING ANY CUTS OR
HOLES FOR INSTALLATION, DETERMINE WHICH
VENTING METHOD WILL BE USED AND CAREFULLY
CALCULATE ALL MEASUREMENTS.
RANGEHOOD ASSEMBLY
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
The Perla chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling
heights as indicated in FIGURE 2. The chimneys can be adjusted for ceil-
ings between 7' 8 1/2" and 9' 9 1/2" depending on the distance between
the bottom of the hood and the cooktop (distance x in FIGURE 2).
For shorter ceilings, have the chimney cover(s) cut at a sheet metal shop.
For higher ceiling installations, the High Ceiling Chimney Kit includes a
new 40” upper chimney which would replace the 20” upper chimney that
came with the hood. (see OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES page 4)

CALCULATE THE DUCTRUN LENGTH
The ductrun should not exceed 35 equivalent
feet if ducted with the required minimum of
6" round ductwork. Calculate the length of
the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet in
FIGURE 3 for each piece of duct in the system.
An example is given in FIGURE 4.
For best results, use no more than three
90° elbows. Make sure that there is a
minimum of 24" of straight duct between
elbows if more than one is used. Do not
install two elbows together. If you must
elbow right away, do it as far away from the
hood's exhaust opening as possible.
