ccoker hood extraction point

[goofy gorilla]

hi guys...just bought a cooker with a stainless steel hood, i thought the hood can be vented to the outside of my kitchen, however it turns out this hood has vents internally, i mean, its got two vents,one on either side of the stainless steel chimmney hood. so the fumes and from cooking are dispersed inside the kitchen....my question can i modify this so i can vent to the outside of the kitchen via a ventin kit ?

Do you mean the chimney acts as a vent pipe or does the fan have a manifold that the chimney sits on top of, & the chimney is decorative? A pic would help.

some hoods can be "re-plumbed" internally to extract or recirculate. There might for example be a metal plate that goes over one or other of the ways.

Isn't there anything in the instructions?

Is there any sign of a blanked-off 105mm hole in the top or back?

If you remove the grease filter you should be able to see some of the internal arrangements,

Could you remove the louvres from this then mount it upside down over the hole & either use the pipe that is included or get a longer piece to vent through the wall http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=12523&ts=42228

ill mount this over the hole with some sealant and put a screw in on each of the four sides holding it down...should do the trick

I would have thought the Hood makers would supply such an adaptor.
