Maytag GXI6536DXS Dimension Guide
PRODUCT MODEL NUMBERS
GXI6536DX
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
• A 120 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15-amp, fused electrical circuit is required.
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof.
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.
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 a charcoal filter and
the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top of the grille. To
order, see the “Assistance or Service” section.
NOTE: Wall venting can be an option for 2-story homes.

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 (1.5 m)
Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).
PRODUCT DIMENSIONS
Example vent system
The following example falls within the maximum vent length of 35 ft
(10.7 m).
1 - 90° elbow
1 - wall cap
8 ft (2.4 m) straight
= 5.0 ft (1.5 m)
= 0.0 ft (0.0 m)
= 8.0 ft (2.4 m)
System length = 13.0 ft (3.9 m)
