Vesta Berlin - Venting Requirements; Venting Best Practices

Venting Requirements
Hood mounted too low could result in heat damage and re
hazard; while hoods mounted too high will be hard to reach and
will loose its performance and efciency.
Use metal duct work only. Rigid metal vent is recommended. A
minimum of 6” round (standard for this range hood, purchased
separately must be used to maintain maximum airow efciency
DO NOT use plastic vent.
DO NOT use 4” (10.2 cm) laundry-type wall caps
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints
with aluminum tape.
For the most efcient & quiet operation:
A distance of 24” to 31” is recommended* between stove top
and the bottom of range hood.
It is recommended that the range hood be vented vertically
through the roof through 6” (15.2 cm) or bigger round metal/
aluminum vent work.
ALWAYS, when possible, reduce the number or transitions and
turns. If long duct run is required, increase duct size from 6” to
7” or 6”. If a reducer is used, install a long reducer instead of a
pancake reducer. Reducing duct size will restrict airow and
decrease airow, thus reduce duct size as far away from opening
as possible.
If turns or transitions are required: Install as far away from
