DUCTLESS CONVERSION

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Ductless conversion is intended for applications where it is not possible to install exhaust duct work to the outside. 

When converted, the hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Exhaust fumes from cooking 

are drawn and filtered by a set of charcoal filters. The air is then purified and re-circulated back into the home 

through the slots located near the top of the upper decorative chimney.
• We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing ducts or installing new duct 

work, if possible. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you opt to convert the hood into a purifying 

unit.

• When converted to a purifying unit, a set of charcoal filters is required in addition to the standard aluminum filter 

set (these are available from LUX). The standard aluminum filters are intended to capture residue from cooking, 

while the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking.

 
IMPORTANT : Observe all effective governing codes and ordinances

Contact a qualified electrician and have an electrical socket installed in the wall where the range hood will be 
installed, in the area that will be hidden by the decorative chimneys.

•  Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in conformance with all local codes and ordinances.
• 

If codes permit it and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine 

that the ground path is adequate.

• 

A 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only fused electrical supply is required on a separate 15-amp circuit.

•  Do not ground to a gas pipe.
•  Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

•  RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. 

This range hood must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock. Check 

with a qualified electrician if you are unsure whether the range hood is properly grounded

•  The range hood should be connected directly to an electrical socket. Do not use an extension cord or an 

adapter plug with this appliance. 

• 

Always use the plug provided. If this is not possible, connect three wires according to color (black to hot, white 
to neutral and green to ground) to house wires and cap with wire connectors.

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT

At least two people are required to move and install this
