Venting Methods
This canopy hood is factory set for venting through the roof or
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.
Rear Discharge
A 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.
For Non-Vented (Recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating)
version, using a Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal
filters and a deflector). To order, see the “Assistance or Service”
section.
