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 puried 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 eective and ecient 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.
