INSTALLATIO N PROCEDURES
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented
vertically through the roof through at least 10” round metal/
aluminum vent work.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24” of straight vent be-
tween the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
• 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.You may remove
damper flaps from damper to increase air flow.
• 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.
IMPORTANT:
• System must vent to the outside (roof or side wall).
• DO NOT vent system into an attic or other enclosed
area.
• DO NOT use laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vent only. A rigid metal/alu-
minum vent is recommended.
•
DO NOT use a 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 and the countertop/
stove
3. A distance of 24” to 36” is recommended
between stove top and the bottom of range hood.
30” minimum is required for gas stove tops.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
