3. Setup and Installation
The CIARRA CAB75502 is designed for wall-mounted installation and can be configured for both ducted and ductless operation. All necessary installation accessories are included.
3.1 Installation Type: Ducted vs. Ductless
- Ducted Mode: Exhausts air outside through a duct pipe. This mode provides the most effective ventilation. The necessary duct pipe is included.
- Ductless Mode (Recirculation): Filters air through an optional carbon filter (model CACF003, sold separately) and recirculates it back into the kitchen. This is suitable when external venting is not possible.
