HEIGHT & CLEARANCE

MINIMUM DUCT SIZE
VENTING METHODS
•
A 35/16” x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) must be used to maintain maximum airflow
efficiency.
•
A 35/16” x 10” damper kit is provided. Always use rigid metal/aluminum ducts, if available, to
maximize airflow when connected to provided duct.
•
If turns or transitions are required, keep them as far away as possible from either end of the duct
work. If multiple turns or transitions are required, keep them spaced sufficiently far apart so as not
to impede the airflow.
• Clearance between stove top and hood bottom should be no less than 24” and no more than 33”.*
• It is important to install the range hood at the proper height. Range hoods mounted too low could
sustain heat damage and become a fire hazard while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach
and will not perform optimally.
•
If possible, also refer to the stove manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above the range.
• Please follow your area’s effective building and gas codes as well as your municipal regulations.
* Due to different ceiling height configuration, recommended height may not be applicable.
Round duct : 6” minimum (requires a 3 5/16” x 10” to 6” adaptor, not supplied)
Rectangular, 35/16” x 10” minimum
The use of round duct requires an adapter that is not provided in order to pass from the round duct to the
6 “ rectangular duct.
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. Vent work can terminate either
through the wall of roof. Venting through a wall requires a 90° elbow.
•
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling attic or
garage. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
• Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
•
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws, and tape all joints with certified silver or duct tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
