INSTALLATION CLEARANCE
It is important to install the range hood at the correct height from the cooktop.
Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage; while hoods mounted too high
may decrease performance and eciency.
Height from Cooktop Surface to Bottom of Hood:
Minimum: Maximum:
Electric
24" (61 cm) 30" (76 cm)
Gas
30" (76 cm)
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using
ventilation systems greater than specied CFM of air movement. The specied CFM
varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specic requirements in your area.
General Venting
The range hood is designed to vent through the roof or side wall. To vent through a
wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
•
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors except for non-vented
(recirculating) installation.
•
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
•
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes outside, the hood can be used for a
non-vented (recirculating) installation by attaching a deector and a charcoal
lter. A Recirculatiing Kit is available for purchase.
•
Use metal/aluminum rigid vent only. Fasten all connections with sheet metal
screws and tape all joints with certied duct tape. Use caulking to seal exterior
wall or roof opening around the cap. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
NOTE: 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.
•
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airow.
NOTE: A 90° elbow must be installed immediately above the hood.
