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" laundry-type wall caps.
Use metal/aluminum vent only, a rigid metal/aluminum vent
is recommended.
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 (recommend 28"-31").
3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the
range hood.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
FOR THE MOST EFFICIENT AND QUIET
OPERATION
A distance of 28"-31" is recommended between the stove
top and the bottom of range hood.
It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically
through the roof through 6" or larger 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" 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.
Note
: Due to different ceiling height configurations,
recommended height may not be applicable.
