Continuous use of range hood while cooking helps 
keep the kitchen comfortable and less humid.

It also reduces cooking odors and soiling moisture 
that create a frequent need for cleaning.

•  Turn on the range hood before starting to cook.
•  Clean the filters frequently (refer to Cleaning 

and maintenance below).

•  Use low speed for normal use and higher speed

for strong odors or fumes.

Always switch off the electricity supply at the mains 
during installation, cleaning and maintenance such 
as for light bulb replacement.

The efficiency of the range hood depends on the
cleanliness of the intake and filters. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

•  Clean the appliance in the following intervals:

Use  a  soft  cloth  moistened  with  hand-warm 
mildly  soapy  water  or  household  cleaning 
detergent.  Never  use  metal  pads,  chemical, 
abrasive  material  or  stiff  brush  to  clean  the 
appliance. 

Metallic anti-grease filter: The filter collects
grease, smoke and dust so the filter is directly
affecting  the  efficiency  of  the  range  hood.  If
not  cleaned,  the  grease  residue  (potential 
flammable) will saturate on the filter. Clean it
with  household  cleaning  detergent.  The  filter
is dishwasher safe.

Recirculator:  clean  the  ventilation  openings 
on the top sides.

Charcoal filters:
•   If the model is not vented to the outside, the 

air will be recirculated through disposable 
charcoal  filters  that  help  remove  smoke
and odors.

•  The  charcoal  filters  cannot  be  cleaned,

they must be replaced regularly (depending 
on range hood usage).

•  NOTE: Do not rinse or put charcoal filters

in a dishwasher.

•  NOTE:  Charcoal  filters  are  not  included

with the range hood. Please call Frigidaire 
at  1.800.944.9044  to  order  this  kit.  When 
calling  our  customer  service  center,  also 
have  this  range  hood’s  model  number
ready.

•  The air must not be discharged into a flue that

is  used  for  exhausting  fumes  from  appliances 
burning  gas  or  other  fuels  (not  applicable  to 
appliances that only discharge the air back into 
the room).

•  Recirculated  air:  Kitchen  fumes  are  removed 

and  after  purification  are  fed  back  into  the
room  through  the  upper  ventilation  openings. 
The  purification  takes  place  via  metallic  anti-
grease filter. No wall breakthrough is required for
recirculated air operation.

•  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.

•  Follow steps 1 to 4 from Installing range hood to 

the wall (Exhaust operation) chapter.

•  To  install  the  recirculator  (6)  drill  2  additional

holes  in  the  wall.  Use  the  template  included  in 
recirculation kit for proper position.

•  Fix the recirculator (6) to the wall with 2 sets of long

screws (8) and wall plugs (9) (fig.  ).

•  Attach  the  exhaust  duct  on  the  bottom  of  the

recirculator (6).
