•Vent system must terminate to the outside
(roof or side wall).
•DO NOT terminate the vent system in an
attic or other enclosed area.
•DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall
caps.
•Use metal/aluminum ducting only. Rigid
metal/aluminum ducting is recommended.
•Always keep the duct clean to ensure
proper airflow.
•Calculate the following figures before
installation:
1. Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
*(less than 108").
2. Distance between the floor to the
countertop/stove. (Recommend* 28” to
about 36”).
3. Distance between the countertop/stove
to the range hood. (Recommended 28"
to ~31").
Height of range hood body and chimney
covers combined.
•A distance of 28” to 31” is recommended
between stove top and the bottom of
range hood.
•28" is the lowest recommended for safe
operation; 31" is only recommended for
efficient operation, but can be mounted
higher.
•It is recommended that the range hood
be vented vertically through the roof
through 6” (15.24 cm) or larger round
metal/aluminum vent work.
•The size of the vent should be uniform.
•Use no more than three 90° elbows.
•For best results, attempt to make 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
provide efficient performance.
•The vent system must have a damper.
If roof or wall cap already has a damper,
DO NOT use the supplied damper
(if applicable).
For the most efficient & quiet operation:

•A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3 ¼” x 10” rectangular duct
(not supplied) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
•ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is
required, increase duct size. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Any reductions of duct size will restrict and decrease airflow; to maximize airflow
flow efficiency place any reducers furthest away from any bends or transitions.
•If turns or transitions are required, install them as evenly distanced as possible, and as far
away from the range hood as possible.
•Please use the Duct Size Upgrade Calculator below to compute the total available duct run
when using elbows, transitions and caps.
•It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low
are considered unsafe and could result in heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods
mounted too high are harder to reach and will lose general effectiveness.
•Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than 28“. Any
less is considered unsafe and not recommended.
•Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom can be higher than 31 inch*, but
it is not recommended due to the loss in efficiency.
•If available, refer to your stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and
recommended hood mounting height above range.
* Due to different ceiling height configurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
Minimum Duct Size:
•Round - 6” minimum.
•Rectangular - 3 ¼” x 10” minimum (requires an 6” to 3 ¼” x 10” adapter, not supplied)
IMPORTANT:

Height & Clearance
Duct Size Upgrade Calculator
•Minimum duct size recommended is 6” round (or 3 ¼” x 10” rectangular). Maximum duct
length recommend is 50 ft. Any duct length over 50 ft is recommended to use a larger
diameter duct size.
•Survey the installation application and record the estimated length of ducting required or
used for that application. Record the number of bends, angle of bends, and/or any
transitional pieces used. Each bend or transition will reduce air flow and reduce the
recommended duct length.
Duct Deduction Calculation Example:(1)
90° bend, (1) 3¼” x 10” transition, (2) 45°
bends, (1) sidewall cap with damper (with
factory damper not installed)
-9ft + -7ft + -5ft + -5ft + -1ft = -27ft
Deduct 27 ft from 50 ft, giving you 23 ft of
available straight ducting before it is
recommended to upgrade your ducting size.
•This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
•Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90°
elbow is needed.
•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.
•Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
•Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with aluminum foil
tape or equivalent.
•Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

Preparation
NOTE: To avoid damage to your hood, prevent debris from entering the vent opening.
Decide the location of the venting pipe from the hood to the outside. Refer to Venting
Methods on page 7.
•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.
•Use aluminum foil tape to seal joints between pipe sections.
•For installing under the cabinet with recessed bottom, attach 4-inch wide wood filler
strips (not provided) on each side. Refer to Figure 1.
•Using references in Hood Dimensions drawing on Page 14, create access opening for
electrical wires and hood exhaust under the cabinet.
CAUTION: If moving the cooking range is necessary to install the hood, turn OFF the
power on of an electric range at the main electrical box. SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE
MOVING A GAS RANGE.
•Puncture the knockout holes (for mounting under the cabinet) on the hood as shown
in Figure 2.
•If necessary, attach two rubber pads with 3M adhesive tapes to the back corners of
the hood to reduce noise and vibration.
