Venting Methods

-All our Cavaliere & Cavaliere-Euro hoods can be non-vented (re-circulating). 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 exhuast 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 outsie 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. 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.

1. Remove aluminum filters on hood.

2. Position the charcoal filters onto each side of the motor and turn until it locks. Re-install aluminum filters.

3. Charcoal filters must be replaced after 120 hours of use (or approximately every 2 to 3 months based on the average of 1 to 2 hours of daily cooking time.)

4. Place the air diverter directly above the range hood with its 6" round hole faces downward. Level it and mark the locations of the air diverter holes on the wall.
