Venting Methods
NOTES:
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates
■
1"
both back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce
(2.5 cm)
performance.
The vent system is optional for this model.
■
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use
7" (17.8 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft
(15.2 m) for vent system.

Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed
to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Venting Requirements
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non-
■
vented (recirculating) installations.
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 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent.
■
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 cm) of straight vent
■
between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
Do not install 2 elbows together.
■
Use clamps or duct tape 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.
