Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
It is the installer’s responsibility to comply with installation 
clearances specified on the model/serial rating plate. The 
model/serial rating plate is located inside the range hood on 
the rear wall.
Range hood location should be away from strong draft areas, 
such as windows, doors and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used. 
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Consult your 
cooktop/range manufacturer installation instructions before 
making any cutouts.
Grounded electrical outlet is required. See “Electrical 
Requirements” section.
The hood is factory set for vented installations. For 
recirculating installations, Recirculation Kit Part Number 
4396565, including vent cover and 2 charcoal filters, is 
available from your dealer.
All openings in ceiling and wall where range hood will be 
installed must be sealed.

Venting Requirements
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed 
area.
Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
Vent system must terminate to the outside.
Use only a 6" (15.2 cm) round metal vent. Rigid metal vent is 
recommended. Do not use plastic or metal foil vent.
The size of the vent should be uniform.
The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has a 
damper, do not use damper supplied with the range hood.
Use duct tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the 
cap.
Determine which venting method is best for your application.
