If blower does not operate: • Check that filter or filters are pressed in as far as they will go. • Check that circuit breaker is not tripped or house fuse blown. • Disconnect power. Check that wire connections have been made correctly. • Reconnect power. 17. Connect vent system to blower. Vent system must end with a wall or roof cap. Use duct tape to seal all joints. 18.

Roof venting Installation requirements Island location 10" (25.4 cm) round vent Maximum length of vent system It is recommended that you use round vent instead of rectangular vent, especially if elbows are required. If rectangular vent is required, it should be transitioned to 10" (25.4 cm) round vent as soon as possible. Determining the length of system you need: To calculate the length of system you need, add the equivalent feet for each duct piece that will be needed. See example for 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system. 10" (25.4 cm) round vent system Built-in cabinet location Built-in cabinet location Vent Length 10" (25.4 cm) round 40 ft.

If more than one elbow is used, make sure that there is a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) of straight vent between any two elbows. Do not install two elbows together. Maximum length = 40 ft.
