Venting Requirements
• Vent system must evacuate to the
exterior – Outside (through the
roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in
an attic or other enclosed area.
• Use rigid metal/aluminum vent only.
• NEVER use plastic vent or plastic vent cover.
• Always keep the duct clean to
ensure proper airflow.
• Calculate the following
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the floor and
the countertop/cooking element.
3. Distance between the range hood
and the countertop/cooking
element which is recommended
at 28" to 30''.
4. Height of hood and duct cover
with the cabinet.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• It is recommended that the range
hood be vented vertically through the
roof through 6" (15.3 cm) round
metal/aluminum vent or vented
horizontally through the wall through
a rectangular vent measuring 3 ¼'' x
10''.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• If venting vertically, do not use more
than three 90° elbows. Do not install
two elbows together.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24"
(61 cm) of straight vent between 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
performance.
• The vent system must have a damper.
If roof or wall cap has a damper, DO
NOT use damper (which is supplied)
on top of the range hood.
• Use duct tape to seal all joints in the
vent system.
• Use caulking to seal the exterior wall
or roof opening around the cap.
