CAUTION
Danger of injury. The chimney skirts may have
some sharp edges.
Exhaust operation
• During exhaust operation, the range hood
removes air from a room. If other re sources
that require the surrounding air for combustion
are being operated in the same room, (e.g. gas,
oil or coal heaters), the oxygen they require is
taken away. Thus flames could be suffocated
and gas could leak out or the fumes could be
drawn back into the room.
• In order to guarantee a safe operation, there
should be non-closable openings in doors,
windows to ensure a fresh supply of combustion
air. This will prevent the combustion fumes from
being drawn back into the room.
• When assessing the measures necessary,
always take the entire ventilation system of the
house into consideration.
• Never secure the range hood to a ventilation
duct, or a room or exhaust gas chimney! Do
not let the air that is removed from the room be
drawn into a duct where warm air is circulating.
The extracted air should only be drawn outdoors
through a separate ventilating duct that is only
for the extractor hood.
• When in extraction mode, air in the room is
being removed by the range hood. Please make
sure that proper ventilation measures are being
observed. The range hood removes odors from
room but not steam.
• Thereshallbeadequateventilationoftheroom
when the range hood is used at the same time
as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not
applicable to appliances that only discharge the
air back into the room).
• Takeout the grease lters and t charcoal lters
to two lateral sides of the motor blower. Assemble
backthegreaselters(g. ).

Air recirculation operation
• Recirculated air: Kitchen fumes are removed

Installing range hood to the wall in
recirculation mode
• For the operation of the range hood with
recirculation mode a recirculator, model no.
FHWRKT55LS, needs to be obtained. Please call
Frigidaire at 1.800.944.9044 to order this kit.
