Asked 7 years ago by Garrett.

• A:Answer Yes, it can work with exhaust or without it - as a recirculating fan. But you will have to buy their charcoal filters for recirculation separately. Generic filters do not fit, their brand filters are expensive and out of stock. I just bought a charcoal filter material at Amazon for like $15, cut out right size pieces and stuck them under aluminum mesh filter that comes with this hood. This hood has great looks, but fan is quite a bit noisy

Q: Question1. Can I mount this under a 15" deep upper cabinet? I don't like that 6.5" of it will extend beyond a 12" upper cabinet. 2. Is there any silver stainless on the front? Some pictures look entirely black, while some show an edge of silver around black

Asked 7 years ago by TC.

• A:Answer Sticking out is not a problem - it is supposed to be deeper than the cabinet to cover cooking area. it has black glass touch panel only on the front - this is what you see on the photos. Sides, bottom and top are stainless.

Q: QuestionWhat is the height of the front black panel? There is one question posted that states the front panel and back panel are the same height. This does not seem correct, in all the photos it looks like the back edge is taller than the front edge.

Q: QuestionIs this item black stainless steel or regular stainless steel?

Asked 8 years ago by Curious.

• A:Answer It’s brushed stainless on the sides and bottom, with the front panel a black composite color. So it goes well with either the stainless or black stainless appliances.
