VENTING REQUIREMENTS
■ This range hood is factory set to exhaust the air to the outside through
the wall or the roof. A non-vented (recirculating) installation will require
a Charcoal Filter Kit. See the “Accessories” section for ordering
information.
■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for nonvented
(recirculating) installations.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
■ Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
■ Use a 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent or a 3¹⁄
4
" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)
rectangular metal vent, depending on your installation requirements.
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 or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a
damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.
■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
VENTING METHODS
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3¹⁄
4
" x
10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft
(10.7 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length of
50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates both
back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
