The document is an installation guide and user manual for Cosmo Under Cabinet Range Hoods, specifically the UC and UMC series (UC30/UMC30 and UC36/UMC36 models).

Function Description:

The Cosmo Under Cabinet Range Hood is designed for indoor residential use to ventilate cooking fumes and odors. It functions by drawing grease-filled air through stainless steel baffle filters, which force the air to change direction rapidly, trapping grease on metal blades and collecting it in a filter tray. The hood is available in both ducted and ductless (recirculating) configurations. For ducted installations, it exhausts air to the outdoors via a 6-inch round aluminum duct. For ductless installations, it uses charcoal filters to purify the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen. The hood features a motor to power the fan and LED lighting to illuminate the cooking surface.
