General venting installation
For vented installations:
Make necessary cuts in the wall for vent fittings.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the vent system is installed before
installing range hood.
Recirculating installations:
A vent system (not provided) that directs the recirculated air back
into the room either through the soffit or through the cabinet top
is required. Use Recirculation Kit Part Number 4396565. For
ordering information, see "Assistance or Service."
IMPORTANT: If venting through the cabinet top, do not
terminate the exhaust into dead air space such as an attic or
enclosed soffit.
When venting through the soffit, assemble the vent system you
will use over the exhaust collar, but do not attach the vent system
yet.
NOTE: The vent system can exhaust out the front of the soffit or
be rotated to exhaust out the side or end of the soffit.
