Jenn-Air's ventilationsystem is designedto capture bothcookingfumes andsmoke from
any place on the cooktop surface. 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 for duet
lengths 10'-60'. Note: 5" diameter round ducting must be used for venting
straight out the back of the eooktop and directly through the wall for 10' or
tess.
• No more than three g0° elbows should be used. Distance betweenelbows should
be at least 18".
• Recommended Jenn-Air wall cap MUST be used. Make sure damper moves
freely when ventilation system is operating.
• There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for eooktop installed near a side wall.
Ifthere 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 responsibility of the
installer and questions should be addressed first by the installer. The installer should
very carefully check the ducting installation instructions.
