NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed
tomeet varying ceiling or soft heights, depending on the
distance “X” between the bottom of the range hood and the
cooking surface. For higher ceilings, a Stainless Steel Chimney
Extension Kit is available from your dealer or an authorized parts
distributor. See “Assistance or Service” section to order. The
chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the
range hood.
Venting Requirements
(vented models only)
■ 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 efcient performance.
For the Most Efcient 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 back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air ow 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 specied CFM of
air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specic 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.
