Installation Clearances

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 a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.

■ Use a 6" (15.2 cm) round metal vent or a 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x

25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent. 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 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.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize

backward cold air flow 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 specified CFM of air

movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.

Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your

area.

Venting Methods

The vent system for venting out of the top of range hood can be

terminated either through the roof or wall. Use a 6" (15.2 cm)

round vent. The vent system for venting out the rear of the range

hood must be terminated through the wall. Use a 3³⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x

25.4 cm) rectangular vent. For rear venting the Damper Assembly

Kit is required. See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates

back pressure and air turbulence that gently reduces

performance.
