TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A STOVE TOP GREASE FIRE:
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn OFF the burner.
•
BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—you may be burned.
KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames DO NOT
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or dial your local
emergency service immediately.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels — a violent steam explosion may result.
•
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
•
• You know you have a Class A, B, C extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it is started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire while maintaining a safe exit path.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GAS LEAKS:
Extinguish any open flame.
•
DO NOT turn on the range hood fan or any type of ventilator.
•
DO NOT turn on the lights or any type of appliance.
•
Open all doors and windows to disperse the gas. If you still smell gas, call the gas company and
•
fire department, or dial your local emergency service immediately.
(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 ducting only. Rigid
•
metal/aluminum ducting is recommended.
Always keep the duct clean to ensure
•
proper airflow.
Calculate the following figures before

For the most efficient & quiet operation:
•
A distance of 27” to 30” is recommended
between stove top and the bottom of
range hood.
•
"27" is the lowest recommended for safe
operation; 30" is only recommended for
efficient operation, but can be mounted
higher."
•
It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof through
8” (20.3 cm) or larger round
metal/aluminum vent work.
•
The size of the vent should be uniform.
•
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
•
For best results, attempt to make a
minimum 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 efficient performance.
•
The vent system must have a damper.
If roof or wall cap already has a damper,
DO NOT use the supplied damper
(if applicable).

Height & Clearance
IMPORTANT:
A minimum of an 8" round duct must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
•
A flexible 8" round duct is provided for convenience and for use in difficult installations,
•
however always attempt to use a smooth metal rigid type of ducting to maximize airflow
efficiency.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is
•
required, increase duct size to. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a
pancake reducer. Any reductions of duct size will restrict and decrease airflow; to maximize
airflow flow efficiency place any reducers furthest away from any bends or transitions.
If turns or transitions are required, install them as evenly distanced as possible, and as far
•
away from the range hood as possible.
Please use the Duct Size Upgrade Calculator below to compute the total available duct run
•
when using elbows, transitions and caps.
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low is
•
considered unsafe and could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too
high are harder to reach and will loose general effectiveness.
Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 28“.
•
Any less is considered unsafe and not recommended.
Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom can be higher than 31 inch*, but
•
is recommended to be the best efficiency.
If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and
•
recommended hood mounting height above range.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
Round - 8” minimum
•
Duct Size Upgrade Calculator
Minimum duct size recommended is 8” round. Maximum duct length recommend is 50 ft.
Any duct length over 50 ft is recommended to use a larger diameter duct size.
Survey the installation application and record the estimated length of ducting required or
used for that application. Record the number of bends, angle of bends, and/or any
transitional pieces used. Each bend or transition will reduce air flow and reduce the
recommended duct length.
Duct Deductions:
Each 90° bend9 ft
Each 45° bend5 ft
Each 8”
Side wall cap with damper1 ft
Roof Cap (with factory Damper) 1 ft
7 ft
Duct Deduction Calculation Example:
(1) 90° bend, (1) 3¼” x 10” transition, (2) 45°
bends, (1) sidewall cap with damper (with
factory damper not installed)
-9ft + -7ft + -5ft + -5ft + -1ft = -27ft
Deduct 27 ft from 50 ft, giving you 23 ft of
available straight ducting before it is
recommended to upgrade your ducting size.

Venting Methods
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
•
Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow
•
is needed.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling,
•
attics or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
•
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified duct tape or
•
equivalent.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
