Fire Hazard

l

Terminate venting system to outside.

. Do Not terminate the vent in an atlic or

other enclosed space.

Failure to follow these instructions could
result in a fire.

Ductwork needed for installation is not
included. If roof or wall cap has a damper,
Do Not use damper supplied with hood.

Determine which outside venting method
needs to be used. NOTE: If a non-vented
(recirculating) installation is desired, follow
instructions on Panel D.

The length of the ductwork and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to

provide efficient performance. The size of
the ductwork should be uniform. Do Not

install two elbows together. Use duct tape
to seal all joints in the ductwork system.

Ductwork can terminate either through the

roof or wall. Use caulking to seal exterior
wall or roof opening around exhaust hood.
For the most efficient and quiet operation, it
is recommended that the range be vented
vertically through the roof through 7” round
ductwork.

Figures l-4 show common venting methods
and what types of materials are needed.

Recommended ductwork length

Use 3- l/4” x lo” or 7” ductwork with a
maximum length of 26 feet for ductwork
system. For best performance, use no more
than three 90” elbows. To calculate the
length of system you need, add the
equivalent feet for each ductwork piece
used in the system. See the following
