newhouse 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Hi guys, just wanna seek some opinion regarding the installation of slim hoods. Saw the inset drawings on the Teka webpage for their slim hood. it was indicated that we should leave a 'channel' from the top of the outlet of the hood, all the way to the top of the cabinet. seems to make sense to me. however, when i checked with my ID, i was told that he is going to do the other way ('normal practice') :- there will be no opening on the bottom of my cabinet, thus, no 'channel' for the outlet of the exhaust. instead, he will leave a 1CM gap between the top of the hood and the bottom of the cabinet, as such, the exhaust of the hood will be force to come out from the front of the hood. Is this practise normal? I have confidence in my ID, but am worried that the little gab for exhaust may hinder the performance of my hood (which is already so 'powerless'). ??? How is yours done? Will i face future problems if i do according to my ID instruction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
