ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of
transitions and turns. If a long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far
away from duct opening and as far apart between
the two transitions as possible.
Minimum mount height between range top to hood
bottom should be no less than 26”.
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
34”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could

Venting Services (referred to herein as “we” or “us”) warrants to the original consumer purchaser (referred to herein as
“you” or “your”) of range hoods (the “Products”) that such Products will be free from defects in materials or workmanship
as follows:
One Year Limited Warranty for Parts: For one year from the date of your original purchase of the Products, we will

associated with this warranty.
Warranty Exclusions: This warranty covers only repair or replacement, at our option, of defective Products or parts
