IMPORTANT:
Minimum distance “X”: 24" (61 cm) from electric cooking
surface, 27" (68.6 cm) from gas cooking surface
Suggested maximum distance “X”: 36" (91.4 cm)
The chimneys can be adjusted for different ceiling heights.
See the following chart.

NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to
meet varying ceiling or soffit heights, depending on the distance

surface.
Venting Requirements
■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors except
for non-vented (recirculating) installations.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
enclosed area.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
■ Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
■ The length of vent system and number of elbows should
be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:
■ 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 1 elbow is used.
■ Do not install 2 elbows together.
■ Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall
cap has a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the
range hood.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening
around the cap.
■ The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed
to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the
thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent
system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of
air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in
your area.
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.
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, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and
vapors are recycled through the top grille. To order, see the
“Assistance or Service” section.

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 ft (1.5 m)
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
Example Vent System
The following example falls within the maximum
recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).
1 - 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)
1 - wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
Length of system = 13 ft (3.9 m)
