DUCTING
A minimum of 6” round duct must be used to
maintain maximum air fl ow effi ciency.
Always use rigid type metal ducts only. Flexible
ducts could restrict air fl ow by up to 50%.
Use calculation worksheet to compute total duct
work (Page 5).
Maximum mount height should be no higher than
34”.
It is important to install the hood at the proper
mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could
result in heat damage and fi re hazard; while hoods
mounted too high will be hard to reach and will
loose its performance and effi ciency.
If available, also refer to range manufacturer’s
height clearance requirements and recommended
hood mounting height above range. Always check
your local codes for any differences.

Ductless recirculation is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.
When converted, the hood functions as a recirculating hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust
from cooking are drawn and ¿ ltered by a set of optional charcoal ¿ lters. The air is then puri¿ ed and re-
circulated back within the home.
We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct
work, if possible. The hood is most effective and ef¿ cient as an exhaust hood. Only when the exhaust option
is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood into a recirculating hood.
When converted to be a recirculating hood, a set of charcoal ¿ lters are required on top of its standard mesh ¿ lter set. Order according to its part number below. The standard mesh ¿ lters are intended to capture residue
from cooking and the optional charcoal ¿ lters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking for re-circulation.
RECIRCULATING KIT (REQUIRED IF NO DUCTING IS USED)
Kit includes charcoal ¿ lters, charcoal ¿ lter brackets and air diverter plate.
Hood Model Part No. Filters in Pkg.

1. Purchase recirculating kit per the part number above
2. Secure air diverter plate to wall below duct cover bracket. (FIG. B)
Run 6” ducting from top of hood and secure to air diverter plate.
3. Remove the stainless steel mesh ¿ lter(s) from hood. Secure the
charcoal ¿ lter bracket(s) to the inside of the hood behind mesh ¿ lters
with (4) M3.5 x 8 screws. Clip charcoal ¿ lters into each charcoal ¿ lter
bracket opening. (FIG. B)
4. Re-Install mesh mesh ¿ lters.
5. Charcoal ¿ lters must be replaced after every 120 hours of use (or
