step 2: ventilation system requirements
It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust
hood be installed above the range. Downdraft
ventilation should NOT be used (see chart A below)
(A) SELECT A VENTILATION SYSTEM:
For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range’s cooking
surface. Where space permits, a hood larger in width
than the cooking surface may be desirable for
improved ventilation performance.
NOTE:
Capital Cooking does not manufacture an island
style ventilation hood. A wall mount hood is not
suitable for island type installations.
Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce
noise and loss of heated or air-conditioned
household air when maximum ventilation is not
required. Normally the maximum blower speed is
only required when using the grill section.
(B) HOOD PLACEMENT:
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the
hood should be installed a minimum of 30” to a
maximum of 36” above the range cooking surface.
If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e.
wood covering), it must be a minimum of 40” above
the cooking surface.
CAUTION!
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed
for use with single wall ducting. However,
some local building codes or inspectors may
require double wall ducting. Consult local
building codes and/or local agencies, before
starting, to assure that hood and duct
installation will meet local requirements.
step 3a: cabinet preparation
1. The range is a freestanding unit. If the unit is to be placed
adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in Fig. 1 are required.
The same clearances apply to island installations, except for the
overhead cabinets, which must have a space wide enough to
accept a suitable flared island hood, as indicated in (Fig. 1-pg. 5)
2. The maximum depth of overhead cabinets installed on either
side of the hood is 13”.
3. Clearances:
40-inch minimum clearance is required between the top of the
range and the TOP of an unprotected cabinet (See Fig. 1-pg. 5)
A 30-inch minimum distance is necessary when the
bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not
less than 1/4 inch of a flame retardant material covered
with no less than No. 28 MSG Sheet Steel, 0.015-inch (0.4
mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch (0.6 mm) aluminum,
or 0.020 inch (0.5 mm) thick copper. Flame retardant
materials bear the mark:

Followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings. These
designations are shown as “FHC (Flame Spread/Smoke
Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread ratings are
flame retardant. Local codes may allow other flame
spread ratings.
