The CIARRA CAW6903A range hood can be installed in either ducted (extraction) or ductless (recirculation) mode. Choose the mode that best suits your kitchen setup.
Installation Modes: Ducted vs. Ductless
Diagram illustrating the difference between ducted (left) and ductless (right) installation modes. Ducted mode expels air outside, while ductless mode recirculates filtered air back into the kitchen.
- Ducted Mode: Air is extracted through a duct to the outside. This mode requires a ducting kit (included) and an external vent.
- Ductless Mode: Air is filtered through an optional carbon filter (sold separately) to remove odors and then recirculated back into the kitchen. This mode is suitable when external venting is not possible.
Mounting
The range hood is designed for under-cabinet or wall-mounted installation. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the appliance's weight.
