Maximum length = 35' (10.7 m)

1 — 90° elbow = 5' (1.5 m)
8' (2.4 m) straight = 8' (2.4 m)
1 — wall cap = 0' (0 m)

system length = 13' (3.9 m)

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. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

Vented installations

Note: The range hood chimneys are
adjustable and designed to meet varying
ceiling or soffit heights depending on the
distance “X” between the bottom of the
range hood and the cooking surface. For
higher ceilings, a 40" (101.6 cm) Chimney
Extension Kit Part Number 8212710
(Stainless Steel), 8212711 (White), or
8212712 (black) is available from your
dealer or an authorized parts distributor.
The chimney extension replaces the upper
chimney shipped with the range hood.

Important:

Minimum distance “X”: 24” (61.0 cm)
Suggested maximum distance “X”: 30”
(76.2 cm)

For vented installations, the chimneys can
be adjusted for ceilings between 7' 6-3/8"
(2.30 m) and 9' 0" (2.74 m).

For non-vented (recirculating) installations,
the chimneys can be adjusted for ceilings
between 8' 3-3/8" (2.45 m) and 9' 5-1/4"
(2.88 m).
