Charcoal Filters (on some models)
If the model is not
vented to the outside,
the air will be
recirculated through
disposable charcoal
filters that help remove
smoke and odors.
The charcoal filters
should be replaced when
they are noticeably dirty
or discolored (usually
after 6 to 12 months,
depending on hood
usage).
The charcoal filters
cannot be cleaned. They
must be replaced.
For 30″ hood models, order
Kit no. WB02X10707.
For 36″ hood models, order
Kit no. WB02X10708.
NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put
charcoal filters in an

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not
have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork,
skip to the “Damage” section and proceed.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
•
IMPORTANT
Save these
–
instructions for local inspector’s use.
The venting system must exhaust to the outside.
•
IMPORTANT
Observe all
This hood can be vented vertically through upper
cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall.
Ductwork is not included.
–
governing codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer Be sure to leave these
–
instructions with the Consumer.
Exhaust connection:
The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with
standard 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular ducting or 7″ diameter
round ducting.
If a 6″ round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round
transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than
a 6″ diameter duct.
• Note to Consumer Keep these instructions
–
for future reference.
• Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires
basic mechanical and electrical skills.
• Completion time – 1-3 hours
• Proper installation is the responsibility of the
installer.
Maximum duct length:
For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length
of a 31⁄4″ x 10″ rectangular, 6″ or 7″ diameter round
duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet.
• Product failure due to improper installation is not
covered under the Warranty.
NOTE: It’s important that ducting be installed using
the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible.
This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent
blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and
nothing is blocking the ducts.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
WARNING
Before beginning the
–
installation, switch power off at service panel and lock
the service disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally. When the service
disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,
present additional resistance to airflow and are
equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their
actual physical size. When calculating the total duct
length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and
adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The
charts on the following pages show you how to calculate
total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate
feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.
* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to-
round transition adaptor is used, the
bottom corners of the damper will
have to be cut to fit, using the tin
snips, in order to allow free
movement of the damper.
Equivalent lengths of duct pieces
are based on actual tests and reflect
requirements for good venting
performance with any hood.
