Venting Requirements
• Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof
or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the duct system in an attic or
other enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum ducts only; rigid metal/
aluminum ducts are recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic ducts.
• Always keep the ducts clean to ensure proper
airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the floor and the
countertop/stove (standard is 36”).
3. Distance between the countertop/stove and the
range hood (30’’ to 33’’ is recommended).
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• A distance of 30” to 33” is recommended
between stove top and the bottom of range hood.*
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented
vertically through the roof through 6” (15.2cm)
round metal/aluminum vent ducts.
• The size of the ducts should be uniform.
• Use NO MORE THAN three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” (61cm) of
straight vent between the elbows if more than one
elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of the vent system and the number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide
efficient performance.
• The vent system must have a damper; if the roof
or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use a 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 the wall or roof
opening around the cap.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations,
recommended height may not be applicable.
