Venting Requirements Height & Clearance
• Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof
or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an at- tic
or other enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall
caps.
• Use metal /aluminum vent only. Rigid metal
(Not Included).
aluminum vent is recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic vent.
•Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper
airflow.
• Calculate the following figures before
installation:
1.Distance from the floor to the ceiling.
2.Distance between the floor to the coun-
tertop/stove (Usually 36 Inches).
3.Distance between the countertop/stove to the
range hood.
We recommend (25.5’ to 27 1/2’ Inches).
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most efficient & quiet operation:
• It is recommended that the range hood be
vented vertically through the roof through 6”
(15.24 cm) or bigger round metal / aluminum
vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• Use no more than two 90° elbows.
• Make sure there is 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 pro- vide
efficient performance.
• The vent system must have a damper. If roof
or wall cap has a damper, DO NOT use damper
(if supplied) on top of the range hood.
• Use silver tape or duct tape to seal all joints in
the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof open-
ing around the cap.

Important
• A minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood) or 3-1/4 x 10” rectangular duct (purchased sepa-
rately) must be used to maintain maximum airflow efficiency.
• Flexible 6” round duct, always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airflow
when connecting to provided duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute the total available duct run when using elbows,
transitions and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns. If long duct run is required,
increase duct size from 6” to 7” or 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer.
• Reducing duct size will restrict airflow and decrease airflow, thus reduce duct size as far away from
opening as possible.
• If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from opening and as far apart, between 2, as pos-
sible.
• Minimum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no less than
28-inch*.
• Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 31-inch*.
• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in
heat damage and fire hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its
performance and efficiency.
• If available, also refer to 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 - 3-1/4 x 10” minimum (requires a 6” to 3-1/4x10” adaptor, not supplied)
To calculate the length of the system you need, deduct the equivalent feet for each vent piece used in
the system from the recommended maximum duct run.
Duct Run Calculation example:
One roof cap, one 90º elbow, and one 45º elbow
used: 9ft + 5ft = 14 ft used.
Deduct 14 ft from 30ft, 16ft maximum available for
straight duct run. If no elbows are used, maximum
run is 30 ft (recommended).

Venting Methods:
Re-Circulating Function Methods:
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.
IMPORTANT:
• 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 certified Silver
Tape or Duct Tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap. ( Not included)
Re-circulating function is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be
installed. When converted, the hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes
and exhaust from cooking is drawn and filtered by a set of charcoal filters. The air is then purified and
re-circulated back within the home.
• We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new
duct work, if possible. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting
the hood into a purifying unit.
• When converted to be a “purifying” unit, a charcoal filter is required in addition to its standard aluminum
filter set. Available online only!!!. The standard aluminum filters are intended to capture residue from
cooking, the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking.
