VENTING REQUIREMENTS

■ 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. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.

■ The length of 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 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 roof or wall cap has a damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.

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

■ The size of the vent should be uniform.

Venting Methods

Typical Internal Blower Motor System Venting Installations

A 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The hood exhaust opening is 10" (25.4 cm) round.
NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.

Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.

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.

Vent Piece Equivalent Length

45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m)

90° elbow 5.0 ft (1.5 m)

The maximum equivalent vent lengths are:
10" (25.4 cm) round vents - 60 ft (18.3 m)

Example vent system

90 elbow

2 ft

(0.6 m)

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length.

1 - 90° elbow

1 - wall cap = 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
Length of system = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)

6 ft (1.8 m)

Wall cap

= 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
