- Ductless (Recirculating) Venting: Air is filtered through charcoal filters and recirculated back into the kitchen.

The range hood includes Winflo's patented QUICKINSTALL hardware for simplified one-person installation. Refer to the included instruction manual for detailed, step-by-step diagrams and instructions for mounting and electrical connections.
Tools required typically include a pencil, measuring tape, hammer, screwdriver or drill, a level, and aluminum duct tape (for ducted installations).
