VENTING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: This range must be exhausted outdoors unless you are using
ductless venting. Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Do not
obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Do not terminate the vent system in an attic or other enclosed area.
• Use an approved vent cap for proper performance. If an alternate wall or
roof cap is used, be certain the cap size is not reduced and that it has a
backdraft damper.
• Vent system must terminate to the outside unless you are using a ductless
vent kit.
• Rigid metal vent is recommended. For best performance, do not use
plastic or metal foil vent.
• If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
• The size of the vent should be uniform.
• The vent system must have a damper.
• Seal all joints in the vent system.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
• Determine which venting method is best for your application.
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.
