You may vent your oven in one of three ways. However, do NOT vent into a wall cavity, an attic, or an
unused area.
Roof-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall near the roof, as in Figures 6 (31/4"x 10" duct)
and Figure 8 (6" round duct.)
Wall-venting If your oven is located on an outside wall of your house, as in Figure 5 (31/4' x 10" duct)
and Figure 8 (6" round duct.)
Room-venting If your oven is located on an inside wall of your house, as in Figure 7.
NOTE: Ifyou choose the rear exhaust method (roof-or wall-venting), be sure there is enough clearance within
the wall for the exhaust duct.
