6Installation DimensionsIMPORTANT:Minimum distance “C”: 24" (61.0 cm) from electric cookingsurface, 30" (72.6 cm) from gas cooking surfaceSuggested maximum distance “C”: 36" (91.4 cm)NOTE: For best performance of the Auto Sense feature, therange hood should be installed at 24" (61.0 cm) from an electriccooking surface and 30" (76.2 cm) from a gas cooking surface.The chimneys can be adjusted for different ceiling heights. Seethe following chart.*NOTE: The range hood chimneys are adjustable and designedto meet varying ceiling or soffit heights depending on thedistance “C” between the bottom of the range hood and thecooking surface. For higher ceilings from 10' (3.05 m), aStainless Steel Chimney Extension Kit is available from yourdealer or an authorized parts distributor. The chimney extensionreplaces the upper chimney shipped with the range hood. See“Assistance or Service” section to order.Venting Requirements■ Vent system must terminate to the outside, except for non-vented (recirculating) installations.■ Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosedarea.■ Do not use 4" (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps.■ Use metal vent only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. Donot use plastic or metal foil vent.■ The vent system must have a damper. If the roof or wall caphas a damper, do not use the damper supplied with the rangehood.For the most efficient and quiet operation:■ Use a straight run or as few elbows as possible.■ Use no more than three 90° elbows.■ Make sure there is a minimum of 24" (61.0 cm) of straightvent between the elbows if more than 1 elbow is used.■ Do not install 2 elbows together.■ Use vent clamps to seal all joints in the vent system.■ Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around thecap.■ The size of the vent should be uniform.Cold Weather InstallationsAn additional back draft damper should be installed to minimizebackward cold air flow and a thermal break should be installed tominimize conduction of outside temperatures as part of the ventsystem. The damper should be on the cold air side of the thermalbreak.The break should be as close as possible to where the ventsystem enters the heated portion of the house.Makeup AirLocal building codes may require the use of makeup air systemswhen using ventilation systems greater than specified CFM of airmovement. The specified CFM varies from locale to locale.Consult your HVAC professional for specific requirements in yourarea.Venting MethodsThis island hood is factory set for venting through the roof.A 6" (15.2 cm) round vent system is needed for installation (notincluded). The hood exhaust opening is 6" (15.2 cm) round.A 6" to 8" (15.2 cm to 20.3 cm) vent adapter is available for 8"(20.3 cm) vent systems. See the “Assistance or Service” sectionto order.Vent system can terminate either through the roof or wall. To ventthrough a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.A. Countertop heightB.
