message news I need to convert a range hood that is venting both up the vertical duct and
into the room, to just venting up to the duct. In the photo, the room vent
is seen on top of the hood.

I have looked inside at all angles, and the squirrel cage fan is plenty
strong enough to vent only up the duct. There is an assembly connected
between the outlet of the fan to the top of the hood that directs some flow
through the vent in the top of the hood into the room. But I don't see any
way to close it - at least without taking things apart. No manual and
searching the series number turned up nothing at www.broan.com.

Seems odd to me, but in any case, anyone ever seen this type of setup
before?

Broan Allur Model QS1 Rev E, Mfd 2006, 1.8A, Hi/Low 110/220 CFM

Thanks buddies!

This is a link to one of their installation manuals, for one of their hoods
which can be EITHER ducted or non-ducted. It looks like whoever installed
didn't skip the steps pertaining to non-ducted installation AND did the
steps pertaining to ducted installastion to boot.

With any luck you can get in there and slide the recircultion slide plate
back in the closed position.

Good luck!

Thanks AC & TS. I checked it out and that's exactly what happened. I can see something halfway diverting the exhaust out into the room. I bought it and the cabinet contractor installed it. Big mistake not reading the instructions first. The duct was already there from previous hood. Evidently people don't read the instructions.
