Venting Requirements

(Vented Models Only)

• 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 a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
• Use a 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round metal vent or a 3 ¹/₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:

• 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 1 elbow is used.
• Do not install 2 elbows together.
• Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
• The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

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.

Venting Methods

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3 ¹/₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 6" (15.2 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
  
  For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
  
  To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside - Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces, or garages.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING*:

• 
  SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishclothes or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
  • You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
  • The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
  • The fire department is being called.
  • You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

*Based on "Kitchen Fire Safety Tips" published by NFPA.

• 
  To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
