VENTING REQUIREMENTS
●
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors, except for non-vented
(recirculating) installations.
●
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
●
Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
●
Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Do not use plastic or
metal foil vent.
●
The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall cap has a damper, do
not use the damper supplied with the range hood.
For the most efficient and quiet operation:
●
Use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
●
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
●
Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight vent between the
elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.
●
Do not install 2 elbows together.
●
Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
●
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
●
The size of the vent should be uniform.
Venting Methods
This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof.
An 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The
hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.
NOTE:
Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure
and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a
wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
