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, using a Recirculation Kit (which includes charcoal filters and a deflector). To order, see the "Assistance or Service" section.
