CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS
A 3¹⁄₄" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular or 6" (15.2 cm) round vent should be used.
The total length of the vent system including straight vent, elbow(s), transitions and wall
or roof caps must not exceed the equivalent of 140 ft (42.7 m) for either type of vent.
For best performance, use no more than three 90° elbows.
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent length for each vent
piece used in the system. See the following examples:
The grounded 3 prong outlet must be inside the upper cabinet.
*30" (76.2 cm) is typical for 66" (167.6 cm) installation height.
