VENTING REQUIREMENTS

■ 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 cap.

■ 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 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.

VENTING METHODS

This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof or 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.

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 a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille.

Non-Vented (Recirculating) Roof Venting

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 ft (1.5 m)

Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).

Example Vent System

90 elbow

2 ft

(0.6 m)

6 ft (1.8 m)

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

1 - 90° Elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)

1 - Wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)

8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)

Length of system = 13 ft (3.9 m)

Wall cap

A. Roof cap B. 6" (15.2 cm) round vent
