Non-Vented (recirculating) Installations Through the
Soffit/Cabinet
If it is not possible to vent cooking fumes and vapors to
the outside, the range hood can be used in the non-vented
(recirculating) version, using a recirculation kit. The recirculation
kit Part Number is W10490330. See "Assistance or Service"
section to order.
For non-vented (recirculating) installations only, the range hood
can be vented indoors through the top of the cabinet or soffit.
