A method for filtering airborne particulates is described. The method includes providing an exhaust hood, and the exhaust hood defines an intake and the exhaust hood being adapted to receive airborne particulates via the intake. The method also includes conveying a portion of a filter media from a media source area to an active media area, transferring the portion of the filter media from the active media area to a media discard area, the media discard area and the media source area being disposed on substantially opposed sides of the active media area, and severing the portion of the filter media in the media discard area from a remainder of the filter media.

A range hood assembly includes a hood stack with crown molding attached to and bordering a top end of the hood stack. A speaker assembly is located within the crown molding. A wireless communication device is connected to the speaker assembly for receiving digital input signals from wireless communication enabled digital devices for controlling the speaker assembly and other devices associated with the range hood assembly.

A cooking appliance includes a secondary venting arrangement within an oven cavity to supplement a primary venting arrangement with localized venting of combustion products adjacent a flame detector that detects a flame emitted by a gas burner disposed under the oven cavity. Doing so may assist with stabilizing the flame generated by the gas burner prior to establishment of steady state flow pattern within the oven cavity.

A microwave cooking appliance having a connector system connecting the appliance to an external vent configuration. The connector system may include an adaptor. The connector system may include a mounting bracket to mount the microwave cooking appliance. The adaptor and/or mounting bracket may include one or more magnets to magnetically connect the adaptor with the mounting bracket. The connector system may include a sealing system.
