NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designed
to meet 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 Part Number W10294735 is available from your
dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension
replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood.
Venting Requirements
(vented models only)
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 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
■
Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
■
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.
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 exterior wall or roof opening
■
around the cap.
The size of the vent should be uniform.
■
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.
