Venting Methods
• This range hood is factory set for venting through the roof or wall.
• Vent work can terminate either through the roof or wall. Venting through a wall requires a 90° elbow.
IMPORTANT:
• NEVER exhaust air or terminate duct work into spaces between walls, crawl spaces, ceiling, attic or garage.
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 or duct tape.
• Use caulking to seal exterior wall or roof opening around the cap.
Option 1: Horizontal wall venting
Option 2: Vertical roof venting
Ductless Conversion
• 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.
