Venting Requirements
Height & Clearance
• Vent system must terminate to the outside
(roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an at

• DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall
caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/
aluminum vent is recommended.
•
DO NOT use plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper
airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before instal
-
lation:
1.
Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2.
Distance between the floor to the coun
-
tertop/stove (recommend* 28” to 31”).
3.
Distance between the countertop/stove
to the range hood.
4.
Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• A distance of 28” to 31” is recommended*
between stove top and the bottom of range

• It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof through 6”
(15.2 cm) or bigger round metal/aluminum
vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• 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 one elbow is used.
• DO NOT install two elbows together.
• The length of vent system and number of
elbows should be kept to a minimum to pro
-
vide efficient performance.
• The vent system must have a damper. If
roof or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT
use damper (if supplied) on top of the range
hood.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints
in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof
opening around the cap.
