Venting Requirements
•
Vent system must terminate to the outside
(roof or side wall).
•
DO NOT terminate the vent system in an at-
tic or other enclosed area.
•
DO NOT use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall
caps.
•
Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/
aluminum vent is recommended.
•
DO NOT use plastic vent.
•
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper
airflow.
•
Calculate the following figures before instal-
lation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the floor to the coun-
tertop/stove.
3. Distance between the countertop/stove
to the range hood (recommend* 24" to
30").
4. Height of hood and duct cover/cabinet.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
•
A distance of 24" to 30" is recommended*
between stove top and the bottom of range
hood.
•
It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof through 6"
(15.3 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum
vent work.
•
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 two elbows together.
•
The length of vent system and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to pro-
vide efficient performance.
•
The vent system must have a damper. If
roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT
use damper (if supplied) on top of the range
hood.
•
Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints
in the vent system.
•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof
opening around the cap.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations, rec-
ommended height may not be applicable.
