For higher ceilings, a Chimney Extension Kit is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the chimney shipped with the range hood. To order, see the “Assistance or Service” section.

Venting Requirements

(Vented Models Only)

• 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 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.

• Use metal vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended. A plastic or metal foil vent is not 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 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 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 airflow 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 the 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.
Venting Methods
This canopy range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or through the wall.
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: Flexible vent is not recommended. A flexible vent creates backpressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.
The vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Rear Discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.

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 using a Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal filters and a deflector). To order, see the “Assistance or Service” section.

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
1 – 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)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare Location

• It is recommended that the vent system be installed before hood is installed.
• Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
