Venting Options

General venting installation

For vented installations:

Make necessary cuts in the wall for vent fittings.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the vent system is installed before installing range hood.

Rrecirculating installations:

A vent system (not provided) that directs the recirculated air back into the room either through the soffit or through the cabinet top is required. Use Recirculation Kit Part Number 4396565. For ordering information, see “Assistance or Service.”

IMPORTANT: If venting through the cabinet top, do not terminate the exhaust into dead air space such as an attic or enclosed soffit.

When venting through the soffit, assemble the vent system you will use over the exhaust collar, but do not attach the vent system yet.

NOTE: The vent system can exhaust out the front of the soffit or be rotated to exhaust out the side or end of the soffit.

■Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

■Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for vent fittings.

■Check that all the installation parts and the box with filters have been removed from the shipping carton.
