Selecting the Venting Direction
The range hood can be used for either horizontal, vertical or ductless air discharge.
For the best performance, use the shortest possible ducting path and the least
amount of elbows when discharging horizontally or vertically.
Vertical Discharge – Vertical discharge is the most common method of hood
installation. If your kitchen has an attic space above, the ducting may be run
through the cupboard and the attic to a roof cap. Use a 7" round duct (not
included).
Another option, if your kitchen has a soffit above the cabinet, is to run the duct up
into the soffit and then discharge the air horizontally through the outside wall to a
wall cap.
Horizontal Discharge - If the range is located against an outside wall, then
horizontal discharging is ideal, provided there are no obstructions such as wall
joists or places where openings are difficult to make.
If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to
ensure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood and the damper
in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the range hood is operating.
This could result in either inadequate air delivery or back drafts. If this condition
exists, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap, it is easier
to duct vertically and than to use an elbow.
Ductless – In ductless installations, air is vented back into the kitchen through the
opening in the range hood grille. If you do not anticipate heavy cooking, this
method may be preferable. Ductless installation requires the use of a charcoal
filters (included) to remove odors, which should be replaced at regular intervals
depending on use. Check with your local retailer or dealer for replacements.
Note: This filter is not dishwasher safe!
