Vent-A-Hood 36-Inch ARS Duct-Free Contemporary Island Range Hood โ Stainless Steel โ CIEAH6-K36
|
The Vent-A-Hood CIEAH6-K36 is a 36-inch island-mounted range hood from the Premier Magic Lungยฎ Contemporary Series โ a completely duct-free design featuring a compact split-layered canopy profile that adds a modern, architectural element above a kitchen island without requiring ceiling ductwork, exterior venting, or a ceiling penetration. Using Vent-A-Hood's ARS (Air Recovery System) technology and the Power Lung K Series blower, kitchen air is drawn through a proprietary 4-phase filtration process and returned clean to the kitchen โ purpose-built for light residential cooking where venting to the exterior is not an option. Available in stainless steel (this listing) or painted finishes only. ARS duct cover and ARS filter assembly sold separately. Mounting height: 30 inches above the cooking surface. Made in the USA since 1933. |

About the Split-Layered Design โ What It Looks Like
The CIEAH6-K features Vent-A-Hood's compact split-layered canopy profile โ a contemporary design where the canopy is divided into two visually distinct horizontal layers, creating a stepped or banded silhouette when viewed from the side or below. This split-layer effect gives the hood a lighter, more architectural appearance compared to a single solid canopy โ the layering creates shadow lines and visual depth that make it an intentional design element rather than a utilitarian box above the cooktop.
Compact Profile
Smaller Scale โ Perfect for Standard Ceiling Heights
The CIEAH6-K is sized for standard to moderate ceiling heights โ duct covers fit 8' and 9' ceilings in standard sizes. The compact profile makes it an excellent choice for kitchen islands where a full 18" canopy height would feel oversized relative to the ceiling and room scale.
Split-Layer Effect
Two-Tier Visual โ Horizontal Banding
The two-layer canopy construction creates a horizontal band around the perimeter of the hood โ a clean, contemporary visual break that differentiates this model from standard single-body canopies. The split-layer profile photographs well against both light and dark ceiling finishes, and coordinates with modern cabinet and tile work that features strong horizontal lines.
Finish Options
Stainless Steel & Painted Only
Available in stainless steel (this listing) and popular standard or custom paint colors. Real brass, real copper, and hammered copper finishes are not available on this model.
What Is ARS Technology โ and Is It Right for Your Installation?
ARS (Air Recovery System) is Vent-A-Hood's proprietary ductless ventilation technology. Instead of exhausting kitchen air to the outside, the ARS system draws air through a 4-phase filtration process and returns cleaned air back into the kitchen โ making it possible to install a professional-quality island range hood where ceiling ductwork is not practical.
How ARS Works
4-Phase Filtration โ No Duct Required
The Power Lung K Series blower draws cooking air into the hood and passes it through 4 stages of filtration โ grease extraction, particulate capture, odor absorption, and return filtration โ before sending clean air back into the kitchen. The ARS filter assembly (sold separately, required for operation) is the consumable component and must be replaced periodically based on cooking frequency.
Ideal Use Case
Light Residential Cooking โ Where Venting Isn't Possible
The CIEAH6-K is designed for light to moderate everyday cooking โ standard residential meals, low to medium heat applications, and occasional sautรฉing. It is not intended for high-BTU commercial-type cooking, frequent frying, or high-smoke use. If ducting to the exterior is possible, a ducted model will outperform the ARS system for heavier cooking volumes.
ARS vs. Ducted
Choose the Right System for Your Space
Choose ARS (this model) when ceiling ductwork is not permitted, not feasible, or not cost-effective. Choose a ducted CILH9 when you can run a duct to the exterior or attic and you cook at medium to high heat regularly. Not sure which applies to your space? Call us at 888-678-3530 and we'll help you determine the right system.
What's Included โ and What You'll Need to Complete the Installation
Included in the Box
Hood Canopy with Power Lung K Blower
Split-layered contemporary stainless steel canopy, Power Lung K Series blower, LED lighting, and ceiling suspension hardware for island mounting.
Sold Separately โ Required for Operation
ARS Filter Assembly (Not Included)
The ARS filter assembly enables the ductless filtration system and must be ordered with the hood โ the unit cannot operate without it. The filter is a consumable that requires periodic replacement. Contact us to add the correct assembly to your order before it ships.
Sold Separately โ Cosmetic
ARS Duct Cover (Not Included)
The ARS duct cover conceals the space between the top of the hood and the ceiling โ cosmetic only, no air passes through it. Available in standard sizes for 8' and 9' ceiling heights. Contact us to confirm the right cover for your space.
Key Features & Owner Benefits:
- ARS Duct-Free Technology โ No Exterior Venting Required: A complete, self-contained ventilation system โ no ceiling penetration, no exterior wall connection, no ductwork. The Power Lung K Series blower drives kitchen air through the 4-phase ARS filtration process and returns it to the kitchen. Suitable for apartments, condominiums, islands far from exterior walls, and covered outdoor kitchens where ceiling penetration is not permitted.
- Power Lung K Series Blower: Engineered specifically for ARS recirculating applications, the Power Lung K operates efficiently through the filtration resistance of the 4-phase filter assembly โ delivering quiet, consistent air movement at the volume required for the ARS process.
- 4-Phase Proprietary Filtration: Grease extraction, particulate capture, odor absorption, and final return filtration โ four stages that process kitchen air more thoroughly than single-stage charcoal filter systems. The 4-phase sequence is what makes Vent-A-Hood's ARS system appropriate for actual kitchen environments rather than occasional use only.
- Compact Split-Layered Canopy โ Contemporary Island Design: The CIEAH6-K's defining design feature โ a two-tier horizontal canopy that creates visual layering and depth above the island. The compact scale is proportioned for standard ceiling heights (8'โ9') and contemporary kitchen environments where a lighter, more architectural hood profile is preferred over a heavy single-body canopy.
- Island Ceiling Mount โ 36-Inch Coverage: Ceiling-suspended, no wall attachment required. The 36-inch canopy provides full coverage over a 36-inch cooktop or island cooking surface. Requires ceiling structural support and a dedicated 115V electrical circuit at the ceiling above the island.
- Outdoor Approved โ GFCI Required: UL listed for damp location use. Approved for covered outdoor patio installation when connected to a GFCI-protected branch circuit.
- Stainless Steel or Painted Only: Available in stainless steel (this listing) and standard or custom paint colors. Real brass, real copper, and hammered copper are not available on this model.
Installation Overview
01
Ceiling Structural Support
Island hoods hang from ceiling joists or blocking. No duct penetration is required โ the ceiling only needs to support the hanging hardware.
02
No Duct Penetration Needed
The ARS duct cover is cosmetic only โ it provides a finished look between the hood and the ceiling, but carries no air. No ceiling cutting or duct routing required.
03
Dedicated 115V Electrical Circuit
A dedicated 115V circuit at the ceiling above the island must be roughed in by a licensed electrician before installation. Required even for ductless installation.
04
ARS Filter Assembly โ Order With the Hood
The ARS filter assembly must be ordered separately and installed before first use. Contact us to add the correct assembly to your order โ it ships with the hood to avoid any delay at installation.
05
ARS Duct Cover โ 8' or 9' Heights
Standard ARS duct covers fit 8' and 9' ceiling heights. Confirm your ceiling height and contact us to specify the correct cover before ordering.
