Venting Requirements

(vented models only)

■ Vent system must terminate to the outside, except for

nonvented (recirculating) installations.

■ 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.

■ Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.

■ The length of the vent system and number of elbows should

be kept to a minimum to provide efcient performance.

For the most efcient 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.

■ The vent system must have a damper.

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

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

cap.

■ The size of the vent should be uniform.

Cold weather installations

(0.93 m)

Wall cap

An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air ow 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 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 with greater than specied CFM of air movement. The specied CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your area.

Venting Methods

This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or through the wall.

The vent system needed for installation is not included. A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is recommended.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected range hood:

This range hood must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This range hood is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk of

electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the range hood is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the range hood.
