It is recommended that the range hood be •
vented vertically through the roof through 8”
(17.8 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 pro-
vide 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.
