Venting requirements

Vent system must terminate to the outside.

Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.

Do not use 4-inch (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.

Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.

For the most efficient and quiet operation:

36" (91.4 cm) base cabinet height

•The size of the vent should be uniform.

•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 one elbow is used.

For installations with canopy only, minimum of 84-3/16" (213.8 cm).

•Do Not install two elbows together.

•The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

•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 duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.

•Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

Determine which venting method is best for your application and follow “Preparation” under ”Installation steps“ on Page 5.
