Cold weather installations
An additional back draft damper non return valve 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 non
return valve 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 sys-
tems when using ventilation systems with greater than spe-
cified 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. You can apply the recirculating venting
method by purchasing the Recirculation Kit. 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 perfor-
mance, 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 Soffit/Cabinet
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the
outside, the range hood can be used in the non-vented
(recirculating) version, using a charcoal filter. Recirculation
Kit is available from the dealer or an authorized parts distributor.
