Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of your chimney. It is highly recommended to have the chimney installed by a certified professional. Before installation, ensure you have the correct measurements for your kitchen space.

- For T-shape / Curved models: 28-30 inches (71-76 cm)
- For Slant models: 18-22 inches (46-56 cm)
- Ducting: Decide between ducted installation (expelling smoke outside) or ductless use (with a charcoal filter, purchased separately).
