Specifications 
subject to change.
• For maximum efficiency, use shortest, straightest duct run possible. 
Unit operates most efficiently with up to 100 equivalent feet of duct. 
(Refer to Calculating Duct Length Table in Product Installation Guide.) 
• Flexible ducting is not recommended due to severely restricted 
airflow; if blower outlet and floor or wall duct location do NOT align, 
flexible METAL ducting can be used to adapt to offset.
• Thermal breaks such as short section of nonmetallic duct, should 
be used in areas of extreme cold. Cold weather installations should 
have additional backdraft damper installed. 
Note: For planning purposes only. Refer to Product Installation Guide 
on the web at frigidaire.com for detailed instructions.

• Ventilation Unit Discharge Options – Rear or down. 
• Down discharge can also be adapted for alternate ductwork 
installation providing left or right exhaust, by ordering Alternate 
Duct Transition Kit (PN # 5304488297).
• Consider ductwork location and desired installation before cutting 
exhaust outlet hole in cabinet. For proper installation, cooktop 
exhaust duct MUST be located between wall studs or floor joists. 
• Vent exhaust air outside only and NOT into any concealed space.
• Exhaust Duct Required – Galvanized or aluminum duct in 6" round

be used if installing under concrete slab.
