Venting System

Venting Methods:

NOTES:

• Flexible vent is not recommended. Flexible vent creates both back pressure and air turbulence that greatly reduce performance.
• The vent system is optional for this model.
• Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. Use 3 1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular with a maximum vent length of 35 ft (10.7 m).

Top Venting: Diagram shows a top vent configuration with a rectangular duct (A) going through the roof and a roof cap with damper (B), both purchased separately.

Wall Venting: Diagram shows a wall vent configuration with a rectangular duct (A) going through the wall or out the top and a wall cap with damper (B), both purchased separately.

Cold Weather Installations

An additional backdraft 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 Requirements

• 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 a 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall cap.
• Use 3 1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) rectangular metal vent, depending on your installation requirement. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Plastic or metal foil vent is not recommended.
• The length of vent system and number of elbows should be kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
• For the most efficient and quiet operation:
• 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 2 elbows together.
• Use clamps or duct tape 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.

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.

Example vent system: A system with one 90° elbow (6 ft), one wall cap (2 ft), and 8 ft of straight ducting totals 13 ft (3.9 m).

Maximum Recommended Length: 3 1/4" x 10" (8.3 x 25.4 cm) Rectangular Vent = 35 ft (10.7 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.
