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 fi ltered by a set of optional charcoal fi lters. The air is then purifi ed and recirculated 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 effi 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 fi lters are required on top of its standard Metal
Filter set. Order according to its Part number below. The standard Metal Filters are intended to capture
residue from cooking and the optional charcoal fi lters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking for recirculation.

buff out the stainless luster and grain. Always scrub lightly, with clean cotton cloth, and with the grain.
Do not use any product containing chlorine bleach. Do not use “orange” cleaners.
Metal Mesh Filters
The metal mesh fi lters installed by the factory are intended to fi lter out residue and grease from cooking.
They need not be replaced on a regular basis but are required to be kept clean.
Remove and clean by hand or in dishwasher on low heat. Spray degreasing detergent and leave to soak if
heavily soiled.
Dry fi lters and re-install before using hood.

Venting Services (referred to herein as “we” or “us”) warrants to the original consumer purchaser (referred to herein as
“you” or “your”) of range hoods (the “Products”) that such Products will be free from defects in materials or workmanship
as follows:
One Year Limited Warranty for Parts: For one year from the date of your original purchase of the Products, we will
provide, free of charge, Products or parts to replace those that failed due to manufacturing defects. We may choose, in
our sole discretion, to repair or replace parts before we elect to replace the Products.
One Year Limited Warranty for Labor: For one year from the date of your original purchase of the Products, we will
provide, free of charge, the labor cost associated with repairing the Products or parts to replace those that failed due to
manufacturing defects. After the first year from the date of your original purchase, you are responsible for all labor costs
associated with this warranty.
Warranty Exclusions: This warranty covers only repair or replacement, at our option, of defective Products or parts
and does not cover any other costs related to the Products including but not limited to: (a) normal maintenance and
service required for the Products and consumable parts such as light bulbs, metal and carbon filters and fuses; (b) any
Products or parts which have been subject to freight damage, misuse, negligence, accident, faulty installation or installation contrary to recommended installation instructions, improper maintenance or repair (other than by us); (c) commercial use of the Products or use otherwise inconsistent with its intended purpose; (d) natural wear of the finish of the Products or wear caused by improper maintenance, use of corrosive and abrasive cleaning products, pads, and oven cleaner
products; (e) chips, dents or cracks caused by abuse or misuse of the Products; (f) service trips to your home to teach
you how to use the Products; or (g) damage to the Products caused by accident, fire, floods or act of God. If you are
outside our service area, additional charges may apply for shipping costs for warranty repair at our designated service
locations and for the travel cost to have a service technician come to your home to repair, remove or reinstall the Prod ucts. After the first year from the date of your original purchase, you are also responsible for all labor costs associated
with this warranty.
Limitations of Warranty. OUR OBLIGATION TO REPAIR OR REPLACE, AT OUR OPTION, SHALL BE YOUR SOLE
AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS WARRANTY. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF
THE PRODUCTS. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THE PRECEDING SECTION ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF
ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES. WE HEREBY DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ALL OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTIES FOR THE PRODUCTS, AND DISCLAIM AND EXCLUDE ALL WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY LAW, INCLUDING
THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Some states or provinces do not
allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. To the extent that applicable law prohibits the exclusion of implied warranties, the duration of any applicable implied warranty is limited to the same one-year period
described above. Any oral or written description of the Products is for the sole purpose of identifying the Products and
shall not be construed as an express warranty. Prior to using, implementing or permitting use of the Products, you shall
determine the suitability of the Products for the intended use, and you shall assume all risk and liability whatsoever in
connection with such determination. We reserve the right to use functionally equivalent refurbished or reconditioned
parts or Products as warranty replacements or as part of warranty service. This warranty is not transferable from the
original purchaser and applies in the United States and Canada.
To Obtain Service Under Limited Warranty: To qualify for warranty service, you must: (a) notify us at the address or
telephone number stated below within 60 days of the discovery of the defect; (b) give the model number and part identification number and serial number; and (c) describe the nature of any defect in the Product or part. At the time of the
request for warranty service, you must present evidence of your proof of purchase and proof of the original purchase
date. If we determine that the warranty exclusions listed above apply or if you fail to provide the necessary documenta tion to obtain service, you will be responsible for all shipping, travel, labor and other costs related to the services.
