• Vent system must terminate to the outside
(Roof or side wall).
• 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
airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before
installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling
2. Distance between the floor to the
countertop/stove
3. Distance between the cooking surface to
the range hood (recommend 24” to 30”)
minimum of 30” is required for gas cook top
4. Height of hood and duct cover
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• A distance of 24” to 30” is recommended
between stove top and the bottom of range
hood. 30” minimum is required for gas stove tops.
• It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof through 6”
(15.3 cm) or bigger 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 efficient
performance.
• The vent system must have a damper. If roof or
wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper (if
supplied) on top of the range hood.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in the

IMPORTANT:
• A iniu of round or - rectangular duct (purchased separately) ust be used to
aintain aiu airflow efficiency
• Always use rigid type etalaluinu ducts if available to aiie airflow when connecting to
provided duct
• lease use Duct Run Calculation below to copute total available duct run when using elbows,
transitions and caps
• AWAS, when possible, reduce the nuber or transitions and turns If long duct run is reuired,
increase duct sie fro to or If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer Reducing duct sie will restrict airflow and decrease airflow, thus reduce duct sie as far
away fro opening as possible
• If turns or transitions are reuired, install as far away fro opening and as far apart, between two
(), as possible
• Miniu ount height between stove top to hood botto should be no less than -inch for
electric cook tops and iniu of -inch for gas stove tops and no higher than -inch for electric
cook tops
• It is iportant to install the hood at the proper ounting height Hoods ounted too low could result
in heat daage and fire haard while hoods ounted too high ay be hard to reach and will lose its
perforance and efficiency
• If available, also refer to stove top anufacturers height clearance reuireents and recoended
hood ounting height above range
CALCULATING VENT SYSTEM LENGTH:
To calculate the length of the syste you need, deduct the euivalent feet for each vent piece used in the
syste fro the recoended aiu duct run
Duct Run Calculation example:
One roof cap, two 90º elbows, and one 45º
elbow use
0ft + 9ft + 9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 30ft, 7ft maximum
available for straight duct run.
