Venting Requirements

IMPORTANT: This cooktop must be exhausted outdoors.

■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed

area.

■ Use a vent cap.

■ Vent system must terminate to the outside.

■ Use only a 6" (15.2 cm) diameter round or 3 ¼" x 10"

(8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular vent except as follows: For gas models, a 5" (12.7 cm) diameter round vent must be used if the duct length is 10 ft (3.0 m) or less.

■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance

within the wall or floor for the exhaust vent.

■ Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a

joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be constructed.

■ The size of the vent should be uniform.

■ The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a

damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.

■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.

■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the

cap.

■ Determine which venting method is best for your application.

For Best Performance:

■ Use 26-gauge minimum galvanized or 25-gauge minimum

aluminum metal vent. Poor quality pipe fittings can reduce airflow. Flexible metal vent is not recommended.

NOTE: Local codes may require a heavier gauge material.

■ Metal duct may be reduced to 30-gauge galvanized steel or

26-gauge aluminized steel if allowed by local codes. This reduction is based on information in the International Residential Codes Section M1601.1 (2006 edition).

■ Do not install 2 elbows together.

■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.

■ If an elbow is used, install it as far away as possible from the

hood’s vent motor exhaust opening.

■ Make sure there is a minimum of 18" (45.7 cm) of straight

vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.

■ Elbows too close together can cause excess turbulence that

reduces airflow.

■ Do not use a 5" (12.7 cm) elbow in a 6" (15.2 cm) or 3¹⁄₄" x 10"

(8.3 x 25.4 cm) system.

■ Do not reduce to a 5" (12.7 cm) system after using

6" (15.2 cm) or 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) fittings.

■ Avoid forming handmade crimps. Handmade crimps may

restrict airflow.

■ Use the wall caps listed in the “Tools and Parts” section for

best performance. If an alternate wall or roof cap is used, be certain the cap size is not reduced and that it has a back draft damper.

■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.

■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the

cap.

The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

The maximum equivalent length of the vent system is 60 ft (18.3 m). For altitudes above 4,500 ft (1272 m), reduce recommended vent run by 20% for best performance.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal break 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.

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.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.

Determine Range Blower Setting

This cooktop is equipped with a dual range blower. It is shipped from the factory in the low range for most installations. If the equivalent duct length exceeds 30 ft (9.1 m), it must be converted to high range. Do not convert the blower to high range for shorter lengths; this will cause excessive noise and conditioned air loss. Convert blower before installing into countertop if necessary.

To Convert to High Range:

1. Place cooktop on floor with front edge and plenum down.

2. Remove the four #10 - 32 locknuts (A) that attach the blower

motor assembly to the blower exhaust scroll.

3. Remove the blower motor assembly (B) from the blower

exhaust scroll (E).

4. Slowly reach into the blower exhaust scroll opening and

remove the retainer (C).

5. Gently remove the restrictor ring (D).

6. Place the motor assembly back on the studs of the blower

exhaust scroll.
