VENTING REQUIREMENTS
For Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to the outside, the hood
can be used in the non-vented (recirculating) version, by fitting a charcoal filter
and the deflector. Fumes and vapors are recycled through the top grille. See the
“Assistance or Service” section for information on ordering.
Calculating Vent System Length
To calculate the length of the system you need, add the equivalent feet (meters)
for each vent piece used in the system.
