5. Installation
The Iamsii Range Hood Insert is designed for both ducted and ductless convertible installation. Ensure proper framing and electrical connections are in place before proceeding.
5.1 Ducted vs. Ductless Installation
For ducted installation, the hood vents cooking fumes and odors directly outside through a 6-inch top ducted vent. For ductless (recirculating) installation, optional charcoal filters are required to purify the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen.

5.2 Mounting
The range hood is designed for built-in or insert mounting within a cabinet structure. Ensure the cabinet opening matches the product dimensions (11.8"D x 35.4"W x 11"H) and provides adequate support. Use the provided woodscrews, anchor screws, and drywall anchors as appropriate for your cabinet material.
