Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
Vent Piece
6" (15.2 cm) Round
45° elbow 2.5
ft
(0.8 m)
90° elbow 5.0
ft
(1.5 m)
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the
hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, using a
Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal filters and a deflector). To
order, see the “Assistance or Service” section.

Venting Methods
This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE:
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back
pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent
through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Rear discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
