Venting Requirements

Vent system must terminate to the outdoors.
■
A
Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other
■
enclosed area.
Do not use a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
B ■
Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended.
■
The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
■
kept to a minimum to provide effi cient performance.
For the most effi cient and quiet operation:
Use no more than three 90° elbows.
■
Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straight
■
vent between the elbows if more than one elbow is used.
Do not install two elbows together.
■
Use clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.
■
The vent system must have a damper. If roof or wall cap has
■
a damper, do not use 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 fl ow 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.
