Venting Requirements
• Vent system must evacuate to the exterior –
Outside (through the roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or
other enclosed area.
• Use rigid metal/aluminum vent only.
• NEVER use plastic vent or plastic vent cover.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper
airflow.
• Calculate
the
following
installation:
1.
Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the floor and the
countertop/cooking element.
3. Distance between the range hood and the
countertop/cooking element which is
recommended at 28" to 30''.
4. Height of hood and duct cover with the
cabinet.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof through 6"
(15.3 cm) round metal/aluminum vent or
vented horizontally through the wall through
a rectangular vent measuring 3 ¼'' x 10''.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• If venting vertically, do not use more than
three 90° elbows. Do not install two elbows
together.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61 cm)
of straight vent between the elbows if more
than one elbow is used.
• 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
(which is supplied) on top of the range hood.
• Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent
system.
• Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof
opening around the cap.
