Q: How will the FG 6 XL handle grease and other residue? I intend to mount this unit so that it draws from the top of the cooking range. The unit I currently use requires acasional cleaning.
A: These work very well for kitchen duty...I would recommend getting it away from the hood a bit for noise purposes however. If the screens in the hood are maintained, the fan should need little to no cleaning.

A: There is no back draft damper on any of the fans, we prefer to install them at the penetration of the building envelope to stop the air from entering at all.

Q: Should the fan be placed closer to the intake or closer to the exhaust cap? Or does it matter?
A: These fans are equally adept at pushing and pulling, so place the fan where it is most convenient to mount and access in the future if service is needed.
