*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 39" (99.1 cm) Chimney
Extension Kit Part Number W10197714 (Stainless Steel), 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": 30" (76.2 cm)
Suggested maximum distance "X": 36" (91.4 cm)
For vented installations, the chimneys can be adjusted for

For the most efficient 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 the roof or wall cap
has a damper, do not use the 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.
Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize
backward cold air flow 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.

vents or transitions to 10" (25.4 cm) round vent using Part
Number 4396915.
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
(0.8m)
Makeup air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems
when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air
movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your
area.
Venting Methods
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The range 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. To vent
through the wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
90° elbow 5.0 ft
(1.5m)
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)
Example vent system
90°elbow <-- 6ft (1.8rn)_1 ....Wall cap
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)

Optional Backsplash Installation
NOTE: The following instructions are for the backsplash without
shelves. Ifyou are installing the Backsplash with Shelves for Heat
Lamps, follow the instructions included with that product. (See
"Accessories" in the "Assistance or Service" section to order.)
The hardware package supplied with the kit includes 4 plastic
wall anchors and mounting screws.
• The height of the backsplash will determine the height of the
range hood.
NOTE: The minimum height of the range hood above the
cooktop is 30" (76.2 cm). The backsplash can be extended
from 1923/32'' (50.1 cm) to 39" (99.1 cm). As the 30" (76.2 cm)
installation height increases, the range hood's capture area
decreases.
Determine height of the range hood.
Using 2 or more people, position the backsplash on the wall
so that the top of the backsplash is at the height of the
bottom edge of the range hood. Mark the location of the four
corner holes. It is recommended that the backsplash be
attached to the wall at all four corners. However, the lower
flange can be secured between the wall and backspash,
countertop or cabinet base without using the bottom corner
screws.
• Drill 5/16"(8 mm) holes.
• Push plastic wall anchors all the way into the holes.
• Position the holes in the backsplash over the wall anchors
and attach using the screws supplied.
