Examplevent system
To calculate the length of the system
you need, add the equivalent feet for
each vent piece used in the system.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for
installation (not included). The hood exhaust
opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round. Two 6" (15.2 cm)
round vent systems are needed for installation on
48" (121.9 cm) models.
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. The exhaust collar can also be directed to
vent out the rear of the hood.
To vent through the wall, the blower needs to be
changed to the proper orientation.
*The 48" (121.9 cm) hood uses two 6" (15.2 cm)
round vents or transitions to 10" (25.4 cm) round
vent using Part Number 4396915.
Calculating Vent System Length
The following example falls within the
maximum recommended vent length.
1 - 90° elbow = 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
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)
The maximum equivalent vent lengths are:
6" (15.2 cm) round vent - 35 ft (10.7 m)
7" (17.8 cm) round vent - 40 ft (12.2 m)
8" (20.3 cm) round vent - 50 ft (15.2 m)
9" (22.9 cm) and 10" (25.4 cm) round vents - 60 ft (18.3 m)
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Have a qualified technician install the range hood. It is the installer's responsibility to comply
with installation clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The model/serial rating
plate is located inside the range hood on the rear wall of the range hood.
Canopy range hood location should be away from strong draft areas, such as windows, doors
and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum
clearance.
The canopy range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or through the wall.
All openings in ceiling and wall where canopy range hood will be installed must be sealed.
For Mobile Home Installations
The installation of this range hood must conform to the Manufactured Home Construction
Safety Standards, Title 24 CFR, Part 328 (formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home
Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or when such standard is not applicable, the
standard for Manufactured Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities
and Setups) ANSI A225.1/NFPA 501A*, or latest edition, or with local codes.
