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 EXTKIT10ES is available from your 

dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension 

replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.

 

■

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 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.
