Jenn-Air's ventilation system is designed to capture both cooking fumes and smoke
while grilling, if the system does not, these are some ducting installation situations to
check:
• 6" diameter round or 3 1/4" x 10" rectangular ducting should be used. Note: 5"
diameter round ducting may be used if the duct length is 10' or less.
• No more than three 90° elbows should be used. Distance between elbows should
be at least 18".
• Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap should be used. Make sure damper moves
freely when ventilation system is operating.
• There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for cooktop installed near a side walt.
If there is not an obvious improper installation, there may be a concealed problem
such as a pinched joint, obstruction in the pipe, etc. Installation is the res0onsibility of
the installer and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer
should very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.
