    Hello, as per the installation manual, that depends on the type of ventilation you’re looking to install or have in place. The manual states the preferred method is a canopy-type exhaust hood. 

    If you want to have this installed, you will need a draft diverter if your unit wasn’t shipped with one. Blodgett 07840 SS DRFT DIVRTER,CANOPY VNT-900 | Parts Town 

    Otherwise, the direct flue arrangement is another option.

    For a draft hood install, you will need this item if it did not ship with your unit: Blodgett 07839 DRAFTHOOD, DIRECT VENT 900/DFG | Parts Town 

     

    I must recommend a professional install the venting regardless of which route you want to take. Perhaps some of the other users (with more technical experience than I possess) are able to explain all the problems associated with improper venting installs. The two that come to mind for me (besides a fire) are pilot lights going out and adverse effects on baking.
