VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.
■
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 metal vent only. 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" (61.0 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.
■
The size of the vent should be uniform.

Venting Methods
Typical Internal Blower Motor System Venting Installations
A 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The hood exhaust opening is 10" (25.4 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.
