To determine if your model has a long vent system, refer to
the type code located on the serial number plate in the inner
door well. Example: An electric model would be DJAV – ELE –
XXXXXXX-XXX. A gas model would be DJAV – NAT – XXXXXXX-
XXX.
NOTE: For long vent systems, use of box/louvered hoods will
improve venting regardless of length.

Vent must fit over the exhaust hood. Secure vent to exhaust

straightest path possible. Avoid 90° turns. Use clamps to seal all
joints. Do not use duct tape, screws, or other fastening devices
that extend into interior of vent to secure vent, because they can
catch lint.
