Of course it does!
Uh, I thought it should but I just checked and it only recirculates the air.
What on earth are you ranting about?
Mine only recirculates, but I already knew that. What's the big deal?
I wouldn't know. I don't have time to cook.
I need to get my thyroid checked.
Well, I voted "of course it does," but I'm really a mix between that and "thought it did but it just recirculates."
When we moved into our house, we replaced all the white appliances and hood with stainless steel. The person installing everything told us our range hood did not vent to the outside. I didn't even know that hoods could recirculate, and he looked surprised that our hood was set up that way. The house was built with all the ductwork leading to an outside vent, but the hood was not connected to any of it!
