For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof
using
a
6”

larger
round metal / aluminum
vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• Use no more than two 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61 cm)
of straight vent between the elbows if more
than one is used.
•
DO NOT
install two elbows together.
The length of
the
vent system and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to
guarantee the most
efficient performance.
• The vent system must have a damper. If roof
or wall cap has a damper,
