3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Unboxing and Package Contents
Upon opening the package, you will find the HisoHu Insert Range Hood securely packed with foam for protection. The package includes the range hood unit, mounting hardware, a remote control, and the installation guide/user manual. A charcoal filter is also included for ductless conversion.
This official video from HisoHu provides a detailed overview of the Insert Range Hood, including its unboxing, key features like 900 CFM suction, convertible ducted/ductless options, and control functionalities. It offers a visual guide to the product's capabilities.
3.2 Installation Options (Ducted vs. Ductless)
The HisoHu range hood offers versatile installation options, supporting both ducted and ductless configurations. For ducted operation, the hood connects to a 6-inch round duct to vent air outside. For ductless (recirculation) operation, the included charcoal filter traps grease and odors, and the filtered air is recirculated back into the kitchen.
This diagram illustrates the dual ventilation options: ductless operation, which uses a charcoal filter for air recirculation, and ducted operation, which vents air outside. The range hood is designed for versatile installation.
3.3 General Installation Steps
Installation requires careful measurement and adherence to local building codes. It is recommended to have two people for installation due to the unit's weight. Ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the range hood. Detailed instructions, including cut-out dimensions and wiring diagrams, are provided in the full user manual.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your range hood.
5.1 Cleaning Grease Filters
The metal filters are designed to trap grease and are dishwasher-friendly for easy cleaning. Regular cleaning (recommended monthly, or more frequently depending on cooking habits) prevents grease buildup, which can affect performance and pose a fire hazard.
5.2 Charcoal Filter Replacement (Ductless Mode)
If operating in ductless mode, the charcoal filter should be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage) to maintain effective odor absorption. Refer to the full manual for specific replacement instructions.
