Gas cooking surface 7′ 8″ (2.34 m) 9′ 6″ (2.9 m)

NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed to meet the 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 is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. See the “Assistance or Service” section to order. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.

Venting Requirements (vented models only)

  • The 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 a 4″ (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
  • Use metal vent only. A rigid metal vent is recommended.A plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
  • The length of the vent system and the number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.

For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:

  • 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 the exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
  • The size of the vent should be uniform.

Cold Weather InstallationsAn additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize backward cold airflow 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. zMakeup AirLocal building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM ofair movement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.Venting MethodsThis 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. A flexible vent creates backpressure and air turbulence that greatly reduces performance.The vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall.To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.Rear DischargeA 90° elbow may be installed immediately above the hood.For Non-Vented (Recirculating) InstallationsIf it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille. See the “Assistance or Service” section for information on ordering.

Calculating Vent System LengthTo calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

Vent Piece 6″ (15.2 cm) Round
45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m)
90° elbow 5 ft (1.5 m)

The maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).Example Vent System

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

1 – 90° Elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)
1 – Wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)
8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)
Length of system = 13 ft (3.9 m)
