Installation
The installation in this manual is intended for qualified installers, service technicians or persons
with similar qualified background. DO NOT attempt to install this appliance yourself. Injury could
result from installing the unit due to lack of appropriate electrical and technical background.
All electrical wiring must be properly installed, insulated and grounded.
Ductless Conversion
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 are drawn and filtered by a set of Carbon 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. The hood is most effective and efficient as an exhaust unit. 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, Carbon Filters are required. Carbon Filters purify
fumes exhausted from cooking for re-circulation.
* Please check for latest specification revisions before any custom work or cutouts.
