To reduce the risk of a stove top grease re:
• Keep all fans, spacers, lters, grease tunnels, oil containers and grease-laden surfaces clean. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan, bae, spaces, lter, grease tunnel and oil container.
• Always turn range hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking foods that produce ames.
• Use high settings on cooking range only when necessary.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

Venting Requirements
• Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall), unless using a
recirculating kit.
• 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/aluminum vent only. Rigid
metal/aluminum vent is recommended.
• Do not use plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure
proper airow.
• Calculate the following gures before
installation:
1. Distance from the oor to the ceil-
ing.
2. Distance between the oor to the
counter top/stove (recommend 24”
to 30”).
3. Distance between the counter top/
stove to the range hood.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.

Venting 8”
or 10”Duct
Range hood
Min: 24”
Max: 30”
For the most ecient and quiet
operation:
• It is recommended that the range hood
be vented vertically through the roof
through 8” or 10” round metal/ aluminum vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• Use no more than three 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 24”
(61 cm) of straight vent between the
elbows if more than one elbow is used.
• Do Not install two elbows together.
• The length of vent system and number
of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide ecient performance.
• The vent system must have a damper.
If roof or wall cap has a damper, Do
Not use damper supplied with the
range hood.
• Use aluminum tape to seal all joints in
the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or
roof opening around the cap.
36” base
IMPORTANT:
• A minimum of a 8” round duct (standard for this range hood) must be used to maintain maximum airow
eciency. There is also an optio to use an 10” round duct size for this unit.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when connecting to provided
duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns in the duct run. If a long duct run is re-
quired, increase the duct size from 8” to 10”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Reducing the duct size will restrict airow and decrease eciency.
• If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.
• Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 24-inch*.
• Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.
• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat
damage and re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and eciency.
• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
* Due to dierent ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round - 8” minimum
• Round - 10” recommended/optional
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the duct system you require, subtract the equivalent feet for each “Vent piece” (Table
Below) used in the system from the “Recommended maximum run” (Table Below). The longest duct run that is
acceptable (if completely straight) is 50 feet. The number of vent pieces (elbow, transition, etc.) installed in your
duct run will determine the maximum length the duct run can be. Please refer to the example below:
Duct Run Calculation:
Recommended maximum run
8” or 10” round duct 50 ft
Vent piece deduction
Each 90º elbow used 9 ft
Each 45º elbow used 5 ft
Each round to rectangle transition used 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper 7 ft
Roof cap 7 ft
Duct Run Calcuation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º elbow used:
7ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 30ft used.
The above vent pieces used are equivalent to 30ft of a
straight duct run. Subtract 30ft from the allowable 50ft.
The remaining distance of 20ft is the longest that the
straight ducting (in addition to the vent pieces) can be.
