IMPORTANT:

Minimum distance “X”: 24" (61.0 cm) from 

electric cooking surface. 

Minimum distance “X”: 27" (68.6 cm) from 

gas cooking surfaces. 

Suggested maximum distance “X”: 36" (91.4 cm)

The chimneys can be adjusted for different ceiling heights. See 

the following chart.

NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to 

meet varying ceiling or soffit heights depending on the distance 

“X” between the bottom of the range hood and the cooking 

surface. For higher ceilings, a Stainless Steel Chimney Extension 

Kit Part Number W10337357 is available from your dealer or an 

authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the 

upper chimney shipped with the range hood.

Venting Requirements

(venting models only)

 

■

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. 

Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.

 

■

The length of vent system and number of elbows should be 

kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

 

■

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 1 elbow is used.

 

■

Do not install 2 elbows together.

 

■

Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.

 

■

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.

 

■

Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the 

cap.

 

■

The size of the vent should be uniform.

An additional backdraft damper should be installed to minimize 

backward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed 

to minimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the 

vent system. The damper should be on the cold air side of the 

thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the vent 

system enters the heated portion of the house.

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems 

when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of 

air movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. 

Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in 

your area.
