2. MOUNTING HEIGHT

4. VENTING METHODS

FOR THE MOST EFFICIENT & QUIET OPERTION:

 A distance of 26” to 30” is recommended between stove top and the bottom of range

hood.

 If the hood is mounted too low this could result in heat and/or fire hazard. If the hood is

mounted too high the controls will be hard to reach, and the hood will lose its

performance and efficiency.

3. VENTING REQUIREMENTS:

 It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically through the roof with a

minimum of 6” or larger vent work.

 ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number of transitions and turns in the

ducting. If a 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/decrease airflow.

 V

 The size of the vent should be uniform.

 Use no more than three 90° elbows in the duct run.

 Make sure there is a minimum of 24” of straight vent between the elbows if more than one

elbow is used

IMPORTANT:

 NEVER exhaust air or terminate ductwork into crawl spaces, between walls, ceiling,

attics, or garages. All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.

 Do not use plastic ventilation

 Do not use 4” laundry-type wall caps

ROOF VENTING

(2nd choice) This is the most

efficient way and highly

recommended. Ducting goes

vertically above the range

hood through the house’s

roof.

SIDE WALL VENTING

(3rd choice) Ducting goes

through the kitchen ceiling

from the top of the hood and

then through a nearby

exterior wall.

BACK WALL VENTING

choice) Ducting goes up

straight inside upper cabinet

then turn and goes

horizontally straight through

an exterior wall from the

back of the hood. This will

be the shortest ducting length
