Venting Methods
NOTES:
■■ A flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates both back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
■■ The vent system is optional for this model.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 31/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m) or 7" (17.8 cm) or larger round vent with a maximum length of 50 ft (15.2 m) for vent system.

Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent system enters the heated portion of the house.
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than
specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC professional
for specific requirements in your area.
Venting Requirements
■■ Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for nonvented (recirculating) installations.
■■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
■■ Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
■■ Use 7" (17.8 cm) round metal vent or 31/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent, depending on your
installation requirement. 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:
■■
■■ 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.
■■

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
■■ Depending on your model, determine which venting method to use: roof, wall, or non-vented (recirculating).
■■ It is recommended that the vent system be installed before the range hood is installed. Go to “Venting System” in the “Installation Requirements” section if you need assistance.
■■ Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for the vent system.
1. Disconnect power
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.
2. Mark Hole Locations
Align the exterior edge of the mounting brackets with the exterior edges of the upper cabinet.
IMPORTANT: The brackets should touch the upper cabinet. With a pencil, mark the upper holes on the brackets.
3. Install Brackets
■■ Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, install the drywall anchors.
■■ Using #8-18 x 1" (4.2 x 25 mm) flat-head #2 Phillips screws, install the mounting brackets using the upper holes.
NOTE: For installations to a surface other than drywall, it is recommended that a qualified contractor determine the anchoring method.
4. Prepare Range Hood
■■ Set the range hood on its back on a covered surface.
■■ Depending on your vent system, use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the 7" (17.8 cm) round vent mounting plate or the rectangular damper attached with 3.5 x 9.5 mm screws.
■■ Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the electrical box cover.
■■ Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the appropriate power supply knockout.

7" (17.8 cm) Round Vent Mounting Plate
A
C
B
■■ Using (2) short Phillips head screws, install the 7" (17.8 cm) round vent mounting plate over the vent knockouts removed in Step 8. Position the wide flange (C) to the front.
NOTE: An optional 7" (17.8 cm) round damper (A), Part Number W10355451, and a 7" (17.8 cm) round vent mounting plate (B), Part Number W10388168, are available as accessories. For information on ordering, see the “Assistance or Service” section.
■■ If installing the optional round damper, position it over the round vent mounting plate.
9
10. Mount Range Hood
■■ Lift the range hood into place, positioning the rear slots over the mounting brackets.
■■ Using a Phillips screwdriver, push on the screws that are started into the top mounting tabs and bend the tabs against the cabinet side walls. Attach the screws to the cabinet side walls.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the screws.
■■ For direct wire installations, run the home power supply cable according to the National Electric Code or CSA standards and local codes and ordinances. There must be enough wiring from the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box to make the connection in the range hood electrical terminal box.
■■ Tighten the strain relief screws.
NOTE: Do not reconnect power until the installation is complete.
OPTIONAL: If you prefer, bend the rear tabs against the rear of the range hood and attach to the wall using #8-18 x 5/8" (4.2 x 16 mm) truss-head screws.
11. Connect Vent System
■■ Connect the ventwork to the range hood.
■■ Seal joints with vent clamps or duct tape to make secure and airtight.
■■ Check that the back draft dampers work properly.
12. Make Electrical Connection
A
B |
C
Option 1 - Direct Wire Installations
