INSTALLATION CLEARANCE
It is important to install the range hood at the correct height from the cooktop.
Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage; while hoods mounted too high
may decrease performance and efficiency.
Height from Cooktop Surface to Bottom of Hood:

VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Makeup Air
Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems when using
ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of air movement. The specified CFM
varies from locale to locale.
Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.
General Venting
The range hood is designed to vent through the roof or side wall. To vent through a
wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
•
Vent system must terminate to the outdoors except for non-vented
(recirculating) installation.
•
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
•
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes outside, the hood can be used for a
non-vented (recirculating) installation by attaching a deflector and a charcoal
filter. A Recirculatiing Kit is available for purchase.
•
Use metal/aluminum rigid vent only. Fasten all connections with sheet metal
screws and tape all joints with certified duct tape. Use caulking to seal exterior
wall or roof opening around the cap. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
NOTE: Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
•
The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum
to provide efficient performance.
•
Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airflow.
NOTE: A 90° elbow must be installed immediately above the hood.
