Opening size

Tools Needed

Parts Supplied

  • A. 4pcs-ST5x40 screws
  • B. 5pcs-Wall anchors
  • C. 5pcs-ST4x40 screws

Venting Requirements

Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall). 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/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/aluminum vent is recommended. DO NOT use plastic vent. Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow. Calculate the following figures before installation:

  1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
  2. Distance between the floor to the countertop/stove (US Standard: 36”).
  3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the range hood (recommend *28” to 31”).
  4. Height of hood and duct cover.

For the most efficient & quiet operation:
A distance of 28”to 31” is recommended between stove top and the bottom of range hood. It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6” (15.2 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum vent work. The size of the vent should be uniform. Use no more than thr ee 90° elbows. Make sure there is a minim um of 24” (61 cm) of straight vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used. DO NOT install two elbows together. The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide effcient performance. The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if supplied) on top of the range hood. Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system. Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
