Venting Requirements
Hood mounted too low could result in heat damage and fire
hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and
will loose its performance and efficiency.
Use metal duct work only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. A
minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood, purchased
separately must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency
DO NOT use plastic vent.
DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints
with aluminum tape.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
A distance of 24” to 31” 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” or bigger round metal/aluminum
vent work.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and
turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6” to
7” or 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a
pancake reducer. Reducing duct size will restrict airflow and
decrease airflow, thus reduce duct size as far away from opening
as possible.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from
