5. Installation
5.1 Mounting the Range Hood
The IKTCH range hood is designed for wall-mount installation. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the weight of the unit. Refer to the included installation guide for detailed steps, including drilling templates and securing the mounting bracket.
5.2 Ducted vs. Ductless Setup
This range hood supports both ducted (external venting) and ductless (recirculation) configurations. For ducted installation, connect the exhaust duct to an external vent. For ductless operation, charcoal filters must be installed to purify the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen. Do not install charcoal filters if using ducted mode, as this will impede airflow and increase noise.
