DUCTLESS RECIRCULATING (AK8000BS ONLY):
Ductless recirculating is intended for applications where an exhaust duct work is not possible to be installed.
When converted, the power pack functions in air “purifying” mode rather than exhausting the air. Fumes and
exhaustfromcookingisdrawnandlteredbyacharcoallter.Theairisthenpuriedandrecirculatedback
into the kitchen.
We recommend to always exhaust air outside of the home by employing existing or installing new duct work, if
possible.Thepowerpackismoste󰀨ectiveande󰀩cientasanexhaustunit.Onlywhentheexhaustoptionis
not possible should you use the power pack in recirculating mode.
Whenconvertedtorecirculatingmode,acharcoallterisrequiredtobeinstalledontopofthestandard
aluminummeshlterandareturnairventisneededtodirectairbackintothekitchen.Thestandard
aluminummeshlterisintendedtocaptureresiduefromcookingandtheoptionalcharcoallterhelpsto
purify fumes exhausted from cooking in recirculating mode.
