BEST® Automatic Make-Up Air Dampers are the first to provide
synchronized operation for kitchen, bath and whole-house ventilation
products. Installation is simple and requires no special wiring.
Intelligent design options ensure optimum performance in a variety
of installations and applications. Highly effective and affordable, BEST®
Automatic Make-Up Air Dampers strike the perfect balance to keep
you and your home breathing easy.
Online Range Hood Make-Up Air Specifying Tool guides the design
of the right make-up air damper system for any home.
Try it at BESTRangeHoods.com
• Economical, ruggedly constructed galvanized motorized damper
• Can be controlled by more than one BEST® ventilation product
• Damper opens automatically to replace the air being exhausted
by ventilation fans or range hoods, and then closes tightly when
ventilation fans are turned off
• Prevents excess air from entering the home during heating
or cooling calls, reducing energy consumption
• Interlocked systems meet IRC code requirements for
make-up air with range hoods
Non-ducted, re-circulating installations require charcoal filters. These
filters help trap cooking aromas and need to be replaced on a regular
basis, depending on your cooking style. Select the re-circulating kit
from the matrix, and order your replacement filters through your
BEST® dealer or online at BESTRangeHoods.com.
RE V E RS IBL E T E L E S CO P IC F L U E S
Some BEST® range hoods have reversible flues with slots on one end,
allowing for non-ducted installations. Air that passes through the mesh
and charcoal filters recirculates into the kitchen. In ceiling installations
over 8' the slots may be visible, depending on how far the telescopic
flue is extended.

C F M RE DUCER KITS
CFM Reducer Kits are available for select BEST® Range Hoods.
A reducer kit enables you to install a ducted BEST® Range Hood
without having to install a make-up air damper. Building codes in
some municipalities may require a make-up air damper in range hood
installations over 300 CFM*. Reducing the CFM capability of the hood
is accomplished with the addition of a simple metal plate, which can
be removed just as easily should codes change in the future. Note
that when lowering CFM capability the range hood may not be able
to ventilate all moisture, heat and cooking by-products and it may
operate at a higher sound level. Consider how you cook and the heat
output of your range before adding a CFM reducer kit.
Optional flue extensions for up to 11' ceiling applications are available
for most Chimney and Island range hoods. For Professional-Style
hoods, a soffit flue adds vertical height to the top of the hood.
Custom height extensions are available by special order.
Chimney Flue Extensions
• Seamless construction
• Designed for ducted applications unless specifically noted
• Hood matching finishes
• Replaces the upper section of standard flue extension that
comes with hood
• Island flue extensions also include an upper skeleton for
mounting to the ceiling
*Always refer to and follow your local building codes.

Consider Ventilation First
Consider ventilation requirements first when designing the kitchen
to simplify duct installation and application issues. Remember
that ventilation removes the airborne particles to the outdoors.
Recirculation filters catch some particles in the immediate cooking
area, but vapors and moisture remain inside the house.
Observe and Address Cross-Currents

BEST® Liners provide a beautiful way to finish your custom hood and
protect your cabinetry. Designed to work with the BEST® Pro-Insert and
Power Packs, liners feature a 3" adjustable nose to provide application
flexibility, and a 4" depth for excellent capture. To highlight the beauty
of your cooking appliance, our optional ambient lighting panel is a
perfect addition. It works with your under-cabinet lighting, and can be
added to any BEST® Liner.

A backsplash provides a dramatic and functional backdrop for your
BEST® wall-mounted range hood. When protection is needed, a
backsplash is an easy-to-clean option to materials such as tile and stone.

Cross-currents can affect range hood capture ability. Windows, patio
doors, ceiling fans, forced heating registers and garage entry doors
are prime sources of cross-currents. Design in features that block
cross-currents from moving directly over the cooking surface to
improve range hood effectiveness.
Range Hood Ducting
Start by selecting a termination point on the roof or wall and create
the shortest possible duct path with fewest turns back to the hood
location(s). Keep in mind bigger duct is better. Next determine what
the largest duct size is without constriction. Now consider hoods
with this size (or area) duct connection. Smaller ducting will sacrifice
performance and increase sound levels. When planning termination
at the hood note that some hoods allow duct attachment through
the top or back of the hood.
To Achieve Peak Exhaust Rates at the Lowest Sound Levels
• Never make the size or area of the ductwork smaller
than the size that originates at the hood.
• Bigger ductwork is better.
• Keep duct length less than 50 linear feet.
• Minimize use of elbows and transitions (4 or less).
• Always separate 90° elbows with at least 2 feet of
straight ductwork.
• When using a remote exterior blower, using one 90°
elbow will reduce noise transmission into the hood.
• Place transitions at least 1 foot from the hood outlet
or remote blower inlet.
Sizing the Range Hood
Use the following guidelines to help determine sizing:
Determine if the cooking equipment will be conventional (cooktop
less than 60,000 BTU) or high performance (over 60,000 BTU)
To reach a starting point use the following formulas or use the
cooktop manufacturer’s recommendation:
Under 60,000 BTU: 100 CFM per foot of cooktop width.
Example: 36" wide wall application indicates a need for 300 CFM
Over 60,000 BTU: 1 CFM for each 100 BTU output of the cooktop.
Example: 60,000 BTU indicates a need for 600 CFM
If there is a grill or griddle in the cooktop add 200 CFM to the
estimate. Example: 60,000 BTU = 600 CFM + 200 CFM for
grill = total 800 CFM
For island installation, more CFM is needed. For conventional
cooktops use 150 CFM per foot of cooktop, and for high
performance cooktops add 100 CFM to the estimate.
For the quietest possible operation, choose a model with the
highest CFM, even if it is more than needed. This will allow the hood
to be operated at lower normal speeds where sound can be 50%
quieter with appropriate duct size.

Determining Adequate Capture Capability
Determining Range Hood Coverage
The capture area of the range hood is typically defined by the outer
most perimeter of the hood bottom. The “SUMP” is the inverted area
of the hood bottom that acts like a container to hold the inrush of heat
and smoke until the blower can drain it away, preventing smoke from
spilling over the edge. If at all possible, select range hood designs that
have at least a 1" deep sump. For high-performance cooktops select
a model with an increased sump size. If that is not possible, increase
the CFM.
At a minimum, the range hood width should extend to the width
of the cooktop, and cover 100% of the back burners and 50% of the
front burners. Range hoods can be wider and deeper, and in some
places it is code to have the width of the hood extend 6" greater than
the cooking surface. For even better effective coverage, install the
hood at the lowest recommended height and select a hood with at
least a 1" deep sump in the bottom of the hood.

Range Hood Filters
When designing aesthetic complements to your BEST® range hood
(custom cabinetry, tile, shelving, etc.) or aligning permanently affixed
elements before the range hood is installed, be sure to have the
product in hand first in order to double-check measurements and
positioning. Unit dimensions for products in this catalog are subject
to normal manufacturing tolerances.
Filtration keeps more of the grease by-products out of the hood and
duct system and in the filter, which can be removed and easily cleaned
in the dishwasher. Baffle filters are good choices for grilling or frying,
but must be operated at high speed to get the best filtering results.
Mesh filters work well regardless of the hood speed, allowing effective,
quiet operation. New mesh lined Hi-Flow™ filters combine baffle and
mesh features for the best of both worlds.
Installation Height
Product Usage
All range hoods have a recommended range of installation height over
the cooking surface. The lowest level is the distance the hood was
safety tested for by UL. The upper limit is a recommendation that will
provide satisfactory capture. If the hood is installed below the lower
limit it could cause damage to the hood and an inspector could force a
reinstallation. Going above the upper limit is the installer’s choice and
will have no effect on the hood, but may result in reduced capture of
smoke. If the hood is above the upper limit, add 100 CFM for every 3"
above the recommended height, and increase the width of the hood
so it extends 6" beyond the cooktop.
BEST® range hoods are designed for use with indoor residential
cooking products, except when noted for outdoor use, but are
not for use with charcoal grills of any kind.
Stainless Steel Types
BEST® range hoods utilize two stainless steel grades: corrosion
resistant stainless steel is recommended for protected outdoor
applications, and installations along saltwater coastal areas. This
type of stainless steel resists the effects of corrosive environments.
Brushed stainless steel is suitable for all interior installations.
