It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation clearances specified on the model/serial/rating plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located behind the left filter on the rear wall of the vent hood. The canopy hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents. The cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. A grounded electrical supply is required. See the “Electrical Requirements” section.

Because of the size and weight of this island hood, the chimney support must be securely attached to the ceiling.

• For plaster or drywall ceilings, the chimney support must be attached to joists. If this is not possible, you must build a support structure behind the plaster or drywall. The support structure must be able to support 80 lbs (36.6 kg).

This range hood is recommended for use with cooktops with a maximum total rating of 60,000 BTUs or less. The range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For non-vented (recirculating) Installation see “Non-vented (recirculating) Installation” in “Install Range Hood” section. Recirculation Kit Part Number W10680067 is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor.

All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy hood will be installed must be sealed.

Gas cooking surface| 7′ 11″ (2.41 m)| 10′ 3″ (3.12 m)

NOTE:
The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet varying ceiling or soffit heights depending on the distance “C” between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking surface. For higher ceilings, a Stainless Steel Chimney Extension Kit Part Number W10688278 is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.

Venting Requirements

• Vent system must terminate to the outdoors except for non-vented (recirculating) installations.
• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• Do not use a 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
• Use metal vents only. The rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
• 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.

For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:

• Use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
• 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 1 elbow is used.
• Do not install 2 elbows together.
• Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal the 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 flow 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 the specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.

Venting Methods

This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof. A 6″ (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The hood exhaust opening is 6″ (15.2 cm) round.

NOTE:
The flexible vent is not recommended. A flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance. The vent system can terminate either through the roof or the wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

For Non-Vented (Recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille. To order, see the “Assistance or Service” section.

• A. Deflector
• B. 6″ (15.2 cm) round vent
• A. Roof cap
• B. 6″ (15.2 cm) round vent

NOTE: If codes permit, wall venting can be an option for 2-story homes.

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.

The maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).

Example Vent System

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

• 1 – 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)
• 1 – wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)
• 8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
• Length of system = 13 ft (3.9 m)

Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and ordinances. If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
