Venting methods
This canopy range hood is factory set for
vertical venting. For rear vent applications, the
blower must be turned inside the range hood so
that the blower vents to the rear as indicated.
The blower is turned by removing two screws
on each side of the blower, rotating the blower
with the exhaust opening facing the rear and
then replacing the screws. The exhaust cover(s)
must be moved to block the unused opening(s).
The blower must be converted before installing
the range hood.
Vent system needed for installation is not
included. The 30" (76.2 cm), 36" (91.4 cm) and
42" (106.7 cm) models have one exhaust
opening. 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm)
rectangular, 7" (17.8 cm) round, 8" (20.3 cm)
round, 9" (22.9 cm) round, or 10" (25.4 cm)
round vent may be used. The hood exhaust
opening is 3-1/4" x 10" (8.3 cm x 25.4 cm).
The 48" (121.9 cm) model has two 3-1/4" x 10"
(8.3 cm x 25.4 cm) exhaust openings. It is
recommended that Vent Transition Kit No.
8284757 be used to transition the two openings
into one 10" (25.4 cm) round vent. (Cannot be
used with Chimney Extension Kit No. 8284754.)
Vent system can terminate either through the
roof or wall.
The vent system length should not exceed the
lengths shown in the chart.

It is recommended that the vent system be installed
before hood is installed.
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a
joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must
be constructed.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper
clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Check that all the installation parts and the box with
filters have been removed from the shipping carton.
1. If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or
slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier
access to rear wall. Otherwise put a thick, protective
covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect
from damage or dirt. Select a flat surface for assembling
the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and
place all hood parts and hardware in it.
2. Determine and mark the centerline on the wall
where the hood will be installed. If the vent system is
already installed, use centerline of vent opening.
3. If venting horizontally out the back of hood and vent
system is not installed, mark and cut vent opening now.
