Flexible ducting:
If flexible metal

doubled. The flexible
metal duct should be

*Actual length of straight duct plus duct tting
equivalent. Equivalent length of duct pieces is based
on actual tests conducted by GE Evaluation Engineering
and reect requirements for good venting performance
with any downdraft cooktop.
NOTE: Any home
ventilation system,
such as a cooktop with
a downdraft exhaust
mechanism, may
interrupt the proper
flow of combustion air
and exhaust required
by fireplaces, gas
furnaces, gas water
heaters and other
naturally vented
systems. To minimize
the chance of
interruption of such
naturally vented
systems, follow the
