Venting methods
This range hood is factory set for vented installations. Vent
system can terminate through either the roof or wall. A
6" (15.2 cm) round vent system must be used. The vent system
length should not exceed 35 ft (10.7 m).

C. Waftcap
The exhaust collar can also be directed to vent out the rear of the
hood.
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the
equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

Maximum _ength = 35 ft (10.7 m)
1-90 ° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
1 - wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)
System length = 13 ft (3.9 m)
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
performance.
IMPORTANT.- Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Save
installation instructions for electrical inspector's use.
it is the customer's responsibility to contact a qualified electrical
installer, and to assure that the electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
(latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local
codes and ordinances.
if codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
