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.
IMPORTANT:
Minimum distance “X”: 24" (61 cm) from electric cooking surfaces
Minimum distance “X”: 30" (76.2 cm) from gas cooking surfaces
The chimneys can be adjusted for different ceiling heights. See the following chart.
Vented Installations
| Min. ceiling height | Max. ceiling height | |
|
|
|
|
Electric cooking | 7' | 9" (2.36 m) | 10' 2" (3.1 m) |
surface |
|
|
|
Gas cooking surface 8' | 3" (2.51 m) | 10' 2" (3.1 m) | |
|
|
|
|
*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, an Extension Kit Part Number W10352733 is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the chimney shipped with the range hood.
Venting Requirements
■Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.
■Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
■Do not use 4" (10.2 cm)
■Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
Venting Methods
Typical Internal Blower Motor System Venting Installations
A 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The range hood exhaust opening is 10" (25.4 cm) round.
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 the wall, a 90º elbow is needed.
