Installation Clearances
NOTE: The hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet 
varying ceiling or soffit heights depending on the distance “X” 
between the bottom of the hood and the cooking surface. For 
higher ceilings, a 40" (101.6 cm) Chimney Extension Kit Part 
Number 8212698 (Black), Kit Part Number 8212696 (Stainless 
Steel) or Kit Part Number 8212697 (White) is available. See your 
dealer. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney 
shipped with the hood.
IMPORTANT:
Minimum distance “X”: 24" (61.0 cm)
Suggested maximum distance “X”: 30" (76.2 cm)
For vented installations, the chimneys can be adjusted for 
ceilings between 7' 
7¹⁄₈" (2.31 m) and 9' 1³⁄₄" (2.79 m).
For non-vented (recirculating) installations, the chimney 
can be adjusted for ceilings between 8' 
3³⁄₈" (2.52 m) and 
9' 5
¹⁄₄" (2.88 m).
Venting Requirements
(Vented Models Only)
Vent system must terminate to the outside, 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 caps.
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 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.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the 
cap.
The size of the vent should be uniform.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional back draft 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.
Makeup Air
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.
Venting Methods
This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof or 
through the 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.
