Installation Dimensions

*NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling or soffi t heights depending on the distance “X” between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface. For higher ceilings, a Chimney Extension Kit is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood. See the “Assistance or Service” section to order.

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 ceilings between 8′ 2³⁄8″ (2.5 m) and 8′ 105/16″ (2.7 m) when mounted at 30″ (76.2 cm) height over a gas cooking surface.
The chimneys can be adjusted for ceilings between 7′ 8³⁄8″(2.4 m) and 8′ 4 5 /16″ (2.55 m) when mounted at 24″ (61 cm) height over electric cooking surface.

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) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide effi cient performance.

For the most effi cient 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 one elbow is used.
• Do not install two 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 fl ow, 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 makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specifi ed CFM of air movement. The specifi ed CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specifi c requirements in your area.

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.

Typical In-line Blower Motor System Venting Installations

A. 10″ (25.4 cm) round vent
B. Mount on top of ceiling joists
C. Roof caps
D. Plywood (optional on some installations)
E. Mount on underside of roof rafters
F. Mount from cross-members tied to trusses
G. Duct horizontal; mount to cross-members tied to trusses
H. Wall cap

Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

Vent Piece| Equivalent Length|
---|---|---
45° elbow| 2.5′
(0.8 m)|
90° elbow| 5.0′
(1.5 m)|

The maximum equivalent vent lengths are: 10″ (25.4 cm) round vent – 60′ (18.3 m)
Example vent system

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length.

One 90° elbow
One wall cap
8 ft (2.4 m) straight| = 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
= 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
= 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
---|---
Length of system| = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)

The range hood is equipped with a thermal protector to avoid overheating conditions. If the range hood shuts off while in use, press OFF button to turn off the range hood. Wait approximately 60 minutes, then press ON to restart the range hood.

Operating the Heat Lamp
The heat lamps are designed to keep food warm prior to serving.
The cooktop surface is too far away from the heat lamp to be used as a shelf.
For best results, install a metal shelf to hold the food closer to the lamps. The optimum distance between the shelf and the range hood is 12″ (30.5 cm) to 15″ (38.1 cm).

A. Range hood
B. Metal shelf

For best performance, food should be placed directly under the heat lamps, not between them. You may need to adjust your food placement to match your needs.

1. Install heat lamp bulbs into heat lamp sockets.
   NOTE: Heat lamp bulbs should be rated to a maximum of 175 W each. For best performance, 175 W maximum, PAR38 type, red heat lamp bulbs are recommended. Bulb performance varies. Lower wattage and clear bulbs decrease the performance.
   WARNING
   Food Poisoning Hazard
   Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
   Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

2. To turn on the heat lamps, move the switch to the “I” position. To turn off the heat lamps, move the switch to the “O” position.
