KitchenAid KVWB400DSS 使用和维护

This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or 

wall.
A 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.

A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood. 

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the 

outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) 

version, using a Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal 

filters and a deflector). To order, see the “Assistance or Service” 

section.

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the 

equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.
