Non-vented (recirculating) Installations

For non-vented (recirculating) installations, optional Recirculating Chimney Kit Part Number 8212713 (Stainless Steel), 8212714 (White), or 8212715 (Black) must be used. These kits include a new lower chimney cover (that replaces the lower chimney cover shipped with the range hood), vent grids, a charcoal filter and a diverter.

Min 32" (81.3 cm) Max 38¹⁄₈" (96.8 cm)

*NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling or soffit heights depending on the distance “X” between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface. For higher ceilings, a 40" (101.6 cm) Chimney Extension Kit Part Number 8212710 (Stainless Steel), 8212711 (White), or 8212712 (black) is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.

IMPORTANT:

Minimum distance “X”: 24" (61.0 cm)

Suggested maximum distance “X”: 30" (76.2 cm)

For vented installations, the chimneys can be adjusted for ceilings between 7' 6³⁄₈" (2.30 m) and 9' 0" (2.74 m).

VentingRequirements

(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 caps.

■ Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.

Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.

Installation Dimensions

18" (45.7 cm) min. clearance upper cabinet to countertop

36" (91.4 cm) countertop height

■ 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" (61.0 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 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 make up 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.
