Recirculating (Non-Vented) Kit
on Page 11.
Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. To vent through a wall, a 90° elbow is needed.
•
IMPORTANT:
NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attics or garages.
•
All exhaust must be ducted to the outside.
Use metal/aluminum duct work only.
•
Fasten all connections with sheet metal screws and tape all joints with certified Silver Tape or Duct Tape.
•
Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.

Ductless Conversion
Option 2:
Side wall cap
Vertical roof venting
Roof cap
Horizontal wall venting
Option 1:
Ductless conversion is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.
•
When converted, the hood functions as a purifying hood rather than an exhaust hood. Fumes and exhaust
from cooking is drawn and filtered by a set of charcoal filters. The air is then purified 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. Only when the exhaust option is not possible should you recourse to converting the hood
into a purifying unit.
When converted to be a “purifying” unit, a set of charcoal filters and an air-diverter are required in addition to
•
its standard aluminum filter set. Available at your local resellers. The standard aluminum filters are intended
to capture residue from cooking, the optional charcoal filters help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking,
and the optional air-diverter redirects filtered clean air back to the house.
