Ductless re-circulation is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed. When converted, the hood function as a recirculating hood rather than an exhaust hood.
Fumes and exhaust from cooking are drawn and filtered by a set of optional carbon filter. The air is then purified and recirculated back within the home.
We recommend to ALWAYS exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct work, if possible. The hood is most effective and efficient as an exhaust hood. You should convert the hood into a re- circulation hood only when the exhaust option is not possible or not allowed by local regulations.
When converted to be a recirculating hood, a set of carbon filter is required on top of the hood. (Order according to its model number below). The baffle filter are intended to capture residue from cooking and the optional carbon filter help to purify fumes exhausted from cooking for re-circulation.

Model of carbon filter:   CAB04

Install the carbon filter:

Note: For Singapore market, carbon filter is included in the carton box with hood;
For other countries, please contact Whirlpool to purchase the carbon filter if need.

1. Purchase carbon filter according to the model stated above.
2. 3. Normally the carbon filter should be changed from three or six months time (according to your cooking habit).
3. Before installing or replacing the carbon filters, disconnect the mains power to the unit.
4. Press the filter lock and remove the baffle filter.
5. Place carbon filters on the both sides of the motor, turn carbon filter in clockwise direction until properly affixed on it, (anti-clockwise to uninstall the carbon filters)
6. Place the baffle filters back.
7. Connect the power supply to the wall socket.

NOTE:

• Make sure the filter is affixed properly. Otherwise, it will be loosen and cause dangerous.
• When carbon filter attached, the suction power will be lowered.
• Do not clean or wash the carbon filter; carbon filter replacement frequency should be determined based on cooking habits.
