*NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to
meet varying ceiling or soffit heights depending on the distance "C"
between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface. For

VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non-vented
(recirculating) installations.
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do not use plastic or
metal foil vent.
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.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
Use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight vent between the
elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
Do not install 2 elbows together.
Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold
air flow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of
outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the
cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the
heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using
ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified
CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.
