• Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for no
vented (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.
• 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
ecient performance.
For the most ecient 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.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around
the cap.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper non return valve 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 non
return valve 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 with greater than spe-
cified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies from
locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in
your area.
Venting methods Recirculating
This range hood is factory
set for venting through the
roof or through the wall.
You can apply the
recirculating venting
method by purchasing the
Recirculation Kit.
The vent system needed for
installation is not included.
A 6” (15.2 cm) round vent
system is recommended.
