Have a qualified technician install the range hood. 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 inside the range hood on the rear wall of the range hood. Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors, and strong heating vents. Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Consult your cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before making any cutouts. Grounded electrical outlet is required. See the “Electrical Requirements” section. The range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall. For ductless (recirculating) installations see “Ductless (Recirculating) Installation Through the Soffit/Cabinet” in the “Prepare Location” section. Charcoal filters are required for ductless (recirculating) installations. See “Optional Parts” in the “Tools and Parts” section to order.

- 25.6″ (65.0 cm) minimum and 29.5″ (75.0 cm) suggested maximum clearances between cooking surface and bottom of the range hood orthe cabinet.
- For ducted wall venting installations using a 90° elbow, 12″ (30.5 cm) minimum overhead cabinet clearance below the wall venting opening is required.
Venting Requirements
(ducted installations only)
- Duct system must terminate to the outdoors, except for ductless (recirculating) installations.
- Do not terminate the duct system in an attic or other enclosed area.
- Do not use 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
- Use metal duct only. A rigid metal duct is recommended. Plastic or metal foil duct is not recommended.
- The length of duct system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
- Use rigid metal duct.
- Use no more than three 90° elbows.
- Make sure there is a minimum of 24″ (61.0 cm) of straight duct between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
- Do not install 2 elbows together.
- Use clamps to seal all joints in the duct system.
- The duct 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 duct should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations:
An additional backdraft 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 duct 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 duct 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 specified CFM of air movement. The specified
CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specific
requirements in your area.
