Exhaust Hood
Your range is equipped with a two speed range hood that may be either vented directly to the outside, or may be
installed ventless. A set of exhaust filters are included with your hood. The filters should be cleaned periodically in
soapy water. Extras are available from your dealer or directly from Heartland Appliances Inc. Please order 4 or more
filters at one time to save freight and handling charges.

Ventless Installation

Your unit is already set up for ventless operation. Cooking fumes are drawn through the filters and exhausted
through the rear of the hood, back into the room. Install the exhaust filters in their location under the cabinet by
first removing the light lens. Then on one side, insert one of the filters into the grooves (front and rear of the cabinet)
and slide into place. Repeat these steps for the second filter

Installation of Ducting

Installation through an outside wall
Remove air deflector (used for ventless operation only). Cut a 3 1/2 x 10 1/2 ( 88.9mm x 266.7 mm) hole through
the wall directly behind the range hood outlet (See Figure 4.), making sure no wall studs are cut. Push range into
position. From outside of the house, measure distance from the siding to the range outlet. Cut duct pipe that length,
plus 1” (25.4mm) for overlap into outlet. Attach vent hood to pipe. Caulk the back of vent hood and around pipe where
it goes through wall and into range hood outlet so caulking seals against outside siding.
Complete installation by following directions under Ventless Installation.
Installation through an attic to an outside wall
If the vent elbows are embedded in the wall, the range may be positioned as shown in Figure 4. Continue the duct
through the ceiling into the attic. Terminate duct either on an outside wall just below the sofit using a vent hood or
through the roof with a roof cap. Seal with caulking around and under cap or hood.
Complete your installation by following directions under Ventless Installation.
