Installation Guide

•
Vent system must terminate to the outside
(Roof or side wall).
•
DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or
other enclosed area.
•
DO NOT use 4” (10.2 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 cooking surface to the
range hood (recommended
minimum 24”
electric cooktop, 30” gas cooktop)
4. Height of hood and duct cover
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
•
A distance of 24” minimum is recommended between
electric stove top and the bottom of range hood, and
30” between gas stove top and bottom of range hood.
Maximum 30".
•
It is recommended that the range hood be vented
vertically through the roof through 6” (15.3 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.
