Ductwork needed for installation is not
included. Wall or roof caps used must
have backdrafi dampers.
The range hood can be vented
vertically through the roof or
horizontally through the wall.
The range hood can also be installed
nonvented (recirculating).
Determine which venting method you
wish to use - outside venting or
recirculating.
The length of the ductwork and number
of elbows should be kept to a minimum
to provide efficient performance. The
size of the ductwork should be uniform.
Do Not install two elbows together. Use
duct tape to seal all joints in the
ductwork system. Ductwork can
terminate either through the roof or wall.
Use opening around exhaust hood. For
the most efficient and quiet operation, it
isrecommended that the range hood
be vented vertically through the roof
through 7” round ductwork.
Figures l-3 show through the roof and
through the wall methods and what
types of materials are needed.

Recommended ductwork length
Use 3-l/4” x 10” or 6” ductwork with a
maximum length of 26 feet for ductwork

more than three 90” elbows. To
calculate the length of system you
need, add the equivalent feet for each
ductwork piece used in the system. See
the following examples.

grounding wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified
electrician determine that the
grounding path is adequate.
