1. Installation Requirements

Cold weather installations

An additional back draft damper should be installed to minimize

backward cold air flow 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.

Makeup air

Local building codes may require the use of makeup air systems

when using ventilation systems with 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.

Venting Methods

This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or

through the wall.

The vent system needed for installation is not included.

A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is recommended.

Calculate Vent System Length

The recommended vent system is 6" (15.2 cm) round vent with a

maximum length of 35 ft (10.7 m). For the best performance, use

no more than three 90° elbows.

To calculate the length of the system, add the equivalent feet

(meters) for each of the vent pieces used in the system.

Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations Through the

outside, the range hood can be used in the non-vented

(recirculating) version, using a charcoal filter. Recirculation Kit
