30" 76.2 cm and 36" 91.4 cm wall-mount canopy range hood

Venting Methods
This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back
pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent
through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Rear discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the
hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, using a
Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal filters and a deflector). To
order, see the "Assistance or Service" section.
