the service disconnecting means cannot be locked,
securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
■ Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction.
■ Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
■ When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other utilities.
■ Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
CAUTION: For general ventilating use only. Do not use
to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust
air, be sure to duct air outside - do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings, attics or into crawl spaces,
or garages.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY
METAL DUCTWORK.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP
GREASE FIRE:
■ Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
■ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
■ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be

Chimneys can be adjusted for ceilings between 8' ³⁄₈" (2.55 m)
and 9' 6" (2.90 m) in both vented and non-vented (recirculating)
applications.
If you have shorter ceilings, the upper chimney can be shortened
by removing up to 5¼" (13.3 cm) off the bottom for vented
applications and 11¼" (28.6 cm) for non-vented (recirculating)
applications. This will give you a minimum ceiling height of
7' 8" (2.34 m).
NOTE: If the upper chimney is cut for your application, the lower
chimney bracket will not be used.
Venting Requirements
(Vented Models Only)
■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non-
vented (recirculating) installations.
■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed
area.
■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
■ 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 efficient performance.
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.
36" (91.4 cm)
countertop height
*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 Stainless Steel Chimney
Extension Kit Part Number W10271503 is available from your
dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension
replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.

Makeup air
Local building codes may require the use of make up 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
This canopy range hood is factory set for venting through the roof
or through the wall.
A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not
included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 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. To vent
through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
Example vent system
90 elbow
6 ft (1.8 m)
Wall cap
Rear discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
For non-vented (recirculating) installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating)
version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the diverter. Fumes
and vapors are recycled through the top grille.
NOTE: Non-vented (recirculating) installation is not allowed over
cooktops with BTU ratings of 60,000 or higher.

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 6" (15.2 cm) Round
45° elbow 2.5 ft
(0.8 m)
90° elbow 5.0 ft
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
(1.5 m)
2 ft
(0.6 m)
The following example falls within the maximum recommended
vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).
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)
