quiet operation:

• The size of the vent should be uniform.

• Use no more than three 90° elbows.

• Make sure there is 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

has a damper, Do Not use damper supplied with the
range hood.

• Use duct tape 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 and follow "Preparation" under "Installation
steps" on Page 5.

* If the canopy hood is installed higher than

24" (81 cm) above the cooking surface, the
middle bracket must be installed at the

bottom point of the upper chimney sleeve,

** If the canopy hood is mounted higher than

24" (61 cm) above cooking surface, depending
on ceiling height, upper chimney may need to

be cut.

Venting methods

This canopy range hood isfactory set for
venting through the roof or wall. For non-
vented (recirculating)installations, see
"Non-Vented (Recirculating) Kits" on
back page.

Vent system needed for installation is not
included. 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3cmx 25 cm)
rectangular, 7" (17.8cm) round, 8"
(20.3 cm) round or 9" (22.9 cm) round
vent may be used.The hood exhaust
opening is 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cmx 25 cm).

Vent system can terminate either through
the roof or wall. Tovent through a wall,

a 90° elbow is needed.
The vent system length should not

exceed the lengths shown in the chart
below,

Note: Flexible vent is Not
recommended.

If it is used, each foot of flexible vent
used is equivalent to two feet

(61 cm) of straight metal vent when
calculating the vent system length,
(Example: A flexible elbow equals two
standard elbows,)
