Venting Requirements
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 airow.
Calculate the following gures before installation:
1. Distance from the oor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the oor to the countertop/stove (US
Standard: 36”).
3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the range hood
(recommend* 28” to 31”).
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efcient & quiet operation:
A distance of 28” to 31” is recommended* between stove top
and the bottom of range hood.
It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically
through the roof through 6” (15.2 cm) or bigger round metal/
aluminum vent work.

11
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 efcient 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 vent system.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

13
Important
A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4
x 10” rectangular duct (purchased separately) must be used to
maintain maximum airow efciency.
Flexible 6” round duct provided for convenience, always use rigid
type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when
connecting to provided duct.
Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute the total
available duct run when using elbows, transitions and caps.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and
turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6” to
7” or 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a
pancake reducer. Reducing duct size will restrict airow and
decrease airow, thus reduce duct size as far away from opening
as possible.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from
opening and as far apart, between 2, as possible.
Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom
should be no less than 28-inch*.
Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom
should be no higher than 31-inch*.
It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height.
Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage and re
hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and
will loose its performance and efciency.
If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height
clearance requirements and recommended hood mounting
height above range.

14
* Due to different ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be
applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
Round - 6” minimum

15
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, deduct the
equivalent feet for each vent piece used in the system from the
recommended maximum duct run.
DUCT RUN CALCULATION:
Recommended maximum run
6” or 3-1/4 × 10” duct 50 ft
Vent piece deduction
Each 90° elbow used 9 ft
Each 45° elbow used 5 ft
Each 6” to 3-1/4 × 10” transition used 7 ft
Side wall cap with damper 0 ft
Roof cap 0 ft
DUCT RUN CALCULATION EXAMPLE:
One roof cap, two 90º elbow, and one 45º elbow used: 0ft + 9ft +
9ft + 5ft = 23ft used.
Deduct 23ft from 50ft, 27ft maximum available for straight duct
run.

OPTION 1:
VERTICAL ROOF VENTING
OPTION 2:
HORIZONTAL WALL VENTING
Venting Methods
This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent
through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between
walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages. All exhaust must be
ducted to the outside.
Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints
with certied Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
