Venting Requirements

Vent system must terminate to the outside.
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
Use a metal vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended. Do
not use plastic or metal foil vent.
The size of the vent should be uniform.
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm) of straight vent
between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
Do not install 2 elbows together.
The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the range
hood.
Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
Determine which venting method is best for your application.
