PLAN THE DUCTWORK
The Agio convertible rangehood is designed to offer wide
flexibility of installations. The rangehood can be ducted
vertically or horizontally through a 3 1/4" X 10" rectangular
vent. The unit can also be installed in a ductless recirculating
configuration. FIGURES 1 and 2 show horizontal and vertical
duct installations for this rangehood. FIGURE 3 shows the
exhaust opening for ductless installation.

CALCULATE THE DUCTRUN LENGTH
The ductrun should not exceed 25 equivalent feet if ducted with the
required minimum of 3 1/4" by 10" rectangular duct. Calculate the
length of the ductwork by adding the equivalent feet in FIGURE 4
for each piece of duct in the system. An example is given in FIGURE
5. 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.

PLAN THE DUCTWORK
First, determine which venting option will be used:
• Horizontal
• Vertical
• Ductless
For Horizontal and Vertical ducting, the ductwork cutout dimensions
are given in FIGURE 6. For ductless installations, read the section
discussing ductless installations before you make any cutouts or
modifications to the rangehood. Ductless installations require
Charcoal Filters.
