3. VENTING REQUIREMENTS / HEIGHT & CLEARANCE
• Vent system must terminate outside (roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4 inches (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/ aluminum
vent is recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the floor to the countertop/stove -
28 to 31 inches (71 - 79 cm) is recommeded for
electric cooktops and 30 to
36 inches (76 - 91 cm) is recommended for gas
ranges.
3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the range
hood.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• A distance of 228 to 31 inches (71 - 79 cm) is
recommeded for electric cooktops and 30 to
36 inches (76 - 91 cm) is recommended for gas
ranges.
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented
vertically through the roof through 6 inches (15 cm) or
larger round metal/aluminum vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24 inches
(61 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more
than one elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of vent system and number of elbows
should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient
performance.
• The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap
has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if supplied) on top
of the range hood.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent
system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening
around the cap.
