For higher ceilings, a Chimney Extension Kit is available from your dealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extension replaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood. See the "Assistance or Service" section to order.

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 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.

For the Most Efficient and Quiet Operation:

■ Use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.
■ 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 two elbows together.
■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■ 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.

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.

Venting Methods

This island hood is factory set for venting through the roof.

A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (not included). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.

NOTE: Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.

Vent system can terminate through the roof.

To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.

For Non-Vented (Recirculating) Installations

If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, fitting a charcoal filter and the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille. To order, see the "Assistance or Service" section.

A. Deflector
B. 6" (15.2 cm) round vent
A. Roof cap
B. 6" (15.2 cm) round vent

Calculating Vent System Length

To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters) for each vent piece used in the system.

Vent Piece 6" (15.2 cm) Round

45° elbow 2.5 ft (0.8 m)

90° elbow 5 ft (1.5 m)

Maximum equivalent vent length is 35 ft (10.7 m).

Example Vent System

90° Elbow 6 ft (1.8 m) Wall cap 2 ft (0.6 m)

The following example falls within the maximum recommended vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

1 - 90° elbow = 5 ft (1.5 m)

1 - wall cap = 0 ft (0 m)

8 ft (2.4 m) straight = 8 ft (2.4 m)

Length of system = 13 ft (3.9 m)

Electrical Requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition), or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. 0-M91 (latest edition) and all local codes and ordinances.

If range hood does not operate, check to see whether a circuit breaker has tripped or a household fuse has blown.

NOTE: To get the most efficient use from your new range hood, read the "Range Hood Use" section.

RANGE HOOD USE

The range hood is designed to remove smoke, cooking vapors, and odors from the cooktop area. For best results, start the hood before cooking, and allow it to operate several minutes after the cooking is complete to clear all smoke and odors from the kitchen.

The hood controls are located on the front side of the canopy.
