Venting Methods
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or
through the wall.
The vent system needed for installation is not included. A 6"
(15.2 cm) round vent system is recommended.
Calculate Vent System Length
The recommended vent system is 6" (15.2 cm) round vent with a
maximum length of 35 ft (10.7 m). For the best performance, use
no more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system, add the equivalent feet
(meters) for each of the vent pieces used in the system.
Example vent system - 6" (15.2 cm)
Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations Through the
Soffit/Cabinet
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the range hood can be used in the non-vented
(recirculating) version, using a charcoal filter. Charcoal Filter Kit
Part Number W10272068 is available from the dealer or an
authorized parts distributor.
NOTE: 12" (30.5 cm) high cabinets without a soffit may allow the
6" (15.2 cm) vent and vent cover to be seen.
