VICTORY range hoods

• Vent system must terminate to the outside (roof or side wall).
• DO NOT terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.
• Use metal/aluminum vent only. Rigid metal/aluminum vent is recommended.
• DO NOT use plastic vent.
• Always keep the duct clean to ensure proper airow.
• Calculate the following gures before installation:
1. Distance from the oor to the ceiling.
2. Distance between the oor to the countertop/stove (recommend* 24” to 30”).
3. Distance between the countertop/stove to the range hood.
4. Height of hood and duct cover.
For the most e󰀩cient & quiet operation:
• A distance of 24” to 30” is recommended between stove top and the bottom of range hood (30” min for 9’ ceilings)
• It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof through 6” or bigger round metal/
aluminum vent work.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• 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 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 provide 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 aluminum tape to seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap. USE 6” ROOF OR WALL VENT CAP
MINIMUM.
IMPORTANT:
• A minimum of a 6” round duct (standard for this range hood) must be used to maintain maximum airow
e󰀩ciency.
• Always use rigid type metal/aluminum ducts if available to maximize airow when connecting to provided
duct.
• Please use Duct Run Calculation below to compute total available duct run when using elbows, transitions
and caps.
• ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and turns in the duct run. If a long duct run is re-
quired, increase the duct size from 6” to 8”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a pancake
reducer. Reducing the duct size will restrict airow and decrease e󰀩ciency.
• 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 24-inch*.
• Maximum mount height between stove top to hood bottom should be no higher than 30-inch*.
• It is important to install the hood at the proper mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat
damage and re hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and will loose its performance
and e󰀩ciency.
• If available, also refer to stove top manufacturer’s height clearance requirements and recommended hood
mounting height above range.
Minimum Duct Size:
• Round - 6” minimum
* Due to different ceiling height congurations, recommended height may not be applicable.
