DUCTED VS DUCTLESS INSTALLATION Unless otherwise specified, any Futuro Futuro range hood can be installed in ducted or ductless (“recirculating”) mode. In ducted mode, a duct conveys the air to the outside; in ductless mode, additional filtering cartridges clean the air before it’s released back into the kitchen. There are specific instructions for both modes please read them carefully.
CARE & MAINTENANCE Before cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the power to the range hood. These general instructions apply to the vast majority of range hoods. Certain specific models may include additional cleaning or operating instructions, as detailed in their model-specific manual. CLEANING RANGE HOOD BODY: Stainless-steel range hoods should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner, such as WD-40.
HALOGEN LIGHTING: range hoods equipped with halogen lights may need occasional light bulb replacement. Follow the replacement procedures in the model-specific manual for directions. Remember to never touch halogen bulbs (of any type, anywhere) with bare hands, since this will significantly shorten the life of the halogen bulb.
CHARCOAL FILTERS (DUCTLESS INSTALLATIONS): If the range hood is not ducted to the outside, then charcoal filters should be used, in addition to the metal filters. The activated charcoal particles trap odors, before the air is released back into the kitchen. Regular charcoal filters are NOT washable, they must be replaced periodically. The replacement frequency depends on your cooking style and frequency. You can tell that the filters are saturated when the hood no longer absorbs odors.
