NOTES: After making the countertop cutout, some installations
may require notching down the base cabinet side walls to clear
the cooktop base. To avoid this modification, use a base cabinet
with sidewalls wider than the cutout.
• A minimum side clearance of 6" (15.2 cm) is recommended
between side of cooktop and side wall for maximum
ventilation performance.
• A minimum clearance of 2" (5.1 cm) is recommended
between the motor/blower and cabinet for proper cooling. A
6" (15.2 cm) clearance is recommended for servicing access.

IMPORTANT: This cooktop must be exhausted outdoors.
• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
• Use avent cap.
• Vent system must terminate to the outside.
• Use only a 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round or 3W' x 10"
(8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent except as follows: For
electric cooktops, a 5" (12.7 cm) diameter round vent may be
used for venting straight out the back of the cooktop and
directly through the wall for 10 ft (3.0 m) or less.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance
within the wall or floor for the exhaust vent.
• Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a
joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• 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 vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the
cap.
• Determine which venting method is best for your application.
