A:Answer Greetings!
We are glad to answer your question about this Samsung hood model.
When you set up this range hood for recirculation using the recirculation kit (NK-AF030FNB) together with the Charcoal filter kit (NK-AR050FNB), the air is not vented outside. Instead, it is filtered and released back into the kitchen.
Here's how it works:
1. Air Intake: Cooking fumes and smoke are drawn up into the hood.
2. Grease Filter: The air passes through metal grease filters to trap grease and large particles.
3. Charcoal Filters: The air then passes through charcoal filters (part of the recirculation kit) that absorb odors and some impurities.
4. Air Exhaust: Finally, the filtered air is exhausted back into the room through the vent located at the top.
