VENTING REQUIREMENTS
• Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or other en-
closed area.
• DO NOT use 4”(10 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/aluminum vent is
recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the floor to the countertop/stove.
3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the range hood
(recommended* 28” to 31” (71 cm to 79 cm).
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
• A distance of 28” to 31” (71 cm to 79 cm) is recommended*
between stovetop and the bottom of range hood.
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically
through the roof through 6”(15 cm) or bigger round metal/
aluminum vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• 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 one elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• 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 (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 wall or roof opening around the
cap.
