The length of vent system and number of elbows should be
kept to a minimum to provide efficient performance.
The maximum equivalent length of the vent system is
60 ft (18.3 m). For altitudes above 4,500 ft (1272 m), reduce
recommended vent run by 20% for best performance.
Cold Weather Installations
An additional backdraft damper should be installed to
minimize backward cold air flow and a thermal break 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.
Order Part Number 708786A for a 5" (12.7 cm) thermal
break.
Order Part Number 715557A for a 6" (15.2 cm) thermal break.
To order, see the "Assistance or Service" section of the Use and
Care Guide.
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 Methods
Common venting methods are shown for a downdraft range.
The downdraft range may be vented through the wall or floor.
