For recirculating installations (FIGURE 3), Charcoal Filters are necessary. Open the comfort panel by turning the knobs to the
right, slide open the glass visor, and remove the grease filters and set aside. Attach one charcoal filter to each end of the blower.
Each charcoal filter attaches to the of the side of the blower. Rotate the filter clockwise to install and counterclockwise to remove

The Velvet slideout rangehood is designed to offer wide flexibility of installations.
The rangehood can be ducted through a 6" round vent. The unit can also be
installed in a recirculating configuration. The unit comes standard in the top
venting position. FIGURE 3 shows recirculating installation.
The Velvet requires 6" round ductwork. To ensure that the blower performs to its
highest possible capacity, ductwork should be as short and straight as
possible.
The ductrun should not exceed 50 feet if ducted
with the required minimum of 6" round duct.
Calculate the length of the ductwork by adding the
equivalent feet in FIGURE A for each piece of duct
in the system An example is given in FIGURE B.
For best results, use no more than three 90°
elbows. Make sure that there is a minimum of
24" of straight duct between elbows if more
than one is used. Do not install two elbows
together. If you must elbow right away, do it
as far away from the hood's exhaust opening
as possible.
