Electrical Requirements
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 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.
