5. Installation
This range hood can be installed in either ducted or ductless configurations. Follow the steps below for proper installation.
5.1 Pre-installation
- Cabinet Modification: Cut an opening at the bottom of your cabinet according to the dimensions specified in the product specifications table.
- Wood Blocking: Prepare and anchor wood blocking inside the cupboard bottom panel around the opening. This provides a secure mounting surface for the range hood.
5.2 Mounting the Range Hood
- Carefully insert and slide the range hood into the overhead cabinet opening. Ensure the side installation holes align with the prepared wood blocking.
- Fasten the range hood using the provided woodscrews through the installation holes onto the wood blocking. Tighten all screws to secure the unit.
5.3 Ventilation Options (Ducted / Ductless)
This range hood is convertible for both ducted and ductless operation.

Ducted Installation:
- Connect the provided 6-inch elbow duct to the top vent of the range hood.
- Secure the vent and vent pipe together using aluminum foil tape to ensure an airtight seal.
- Extend the ductwork to the outside of your home, ensuring it is properly sealed and routed according to local building codes.
Ductless Installation:
- Install the provided charcoal filters onto the blower motor system. These filters are essential for removing odors in a ductless setup.
- No external ductwork is required for this configuration, as the air is filtered and recirculated back into the kitchen.
5.4 Power Connection
- Once the range hood is securely mounted and ventilation is configured, plug the power cord into a standard 120V electrical outlet.
