5. VENTING METHODS
•
The split blower unit must be kept inside the home, attic or crawl space etc. Never try to install the split
blower unit outside of the home.
•
This range hood is 6” top venting through the roof or wall.
•
Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall as shown below.
•
Two 6” round ducts should be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
•
Always use rigid or semi-rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow.
•
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside.
•
A straight, short vent run will allow the hood to perform more efficiently. Try to avoid as many transitions,
elbows, and long run as possible. This may reduce the performance of the hood.
IMPORTANT:
•
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or
garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
•
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
