VENTING REQUIREMENTS
- The vent system must terminate to the outdoors.
- 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 vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended.
- The length of the vent system and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
For the most efficient 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 1 elbow is used.
- Do not install 2 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 a damper supplied with the range hood.
- Use caulking to seal the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
- The size of the vent should be uniform.
Venting Methods
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
A 3¹⁄4″ x 10″ (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent system is needed for
installation (not included). The hood exhaust opening is 3¹⁄4″ x 10″ (8.3 cm x
25.4 cm). The vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To
vent out of the top of the range hood and through a wall, a 90° elbow is
needed. See the “Install Range Hood” section of your Owner’s Manual for
details of installing the damper.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. A flexible vent creates
backpressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Rear discharge
This range hood can be vented directly out the back using the 3¹⁄4″ x 10″ (8.3
cm x 25.4 cm) rectangular damper (supplied) along with a 3¹⁄4″ x 10″ (8.3 cm x
25.4 cm) rectangular vent system (not supplied). See the “Install Range Hood”
section of your Owner’s Manual for details of installing the damper.
