DUCTED VS DUCTLESS INSTALLATION
Unless otherwise specied, any Futuro Futuro range hood can be installed in duc-
ted or ductless (“recirculang”) mode. In ducted mode, a duct conveys the air to
the outside; in ductless mode, addional ltering cartridges clean the air before
it’s released back into the kitchen. There are specic instrucons for both modes -
please read them carefully.
DUCTLESS INSTALLATION:
Recirculang ltering cartridges must be replaced according to the instrucons
specic to the range hood model and/or type of cartridges. Failure to replace lte-
ring cartridges may lead to severely
reduced airow, decreased range hood performance, and eventual damage of the
range hood internal components.
DUCTED INSTALLATION:
Installaon must be performed in accordance with local building code requi-
rements and/or regulaons.
It is strongly recommended that the duct used is the rigid type (NOT exible
type), in order to ensure smooth airow, less noise, higher performance, and
long-term reliability.
For duct dimensions, such as diameter and maximum length, please refer to
the instrucons of the specic range hood model.
Do not connect the range hood to ducng used by other appliances, heang
or cooling equipment. The range hood duct must be its own, separate line.
Duct must lead to the outside of the house. Do NOT vent into enclosed spaces
such as acs.
Duct must be terminated by a duct cap or cover that conforms to the local
building codes and regulaons. It is strongly recommended that the cap inclu-
des a “damper” (airow controller, backdra damper, etc) to prevent cold air
from blowing back inside.
