KitchenAid W10268948C Electrical Requirements, Rear discharge, Calculating Vent System Length

Page 7

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.

For non-vented (recirculating) installations

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the diverter. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille.

NOTE: Non-vented (recirculating) installation is not allowed over cooktops with BTU ratings of 60,000 or higher.

Calculating Vent System Length

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
