3. Installation Guide
The CIARRA CBCB6921 range hood can be installed as either an external evacuation (ducted) system or an internal recirculation (ductless) system.

This range hood supports both wall-mounted installation above the hob or under-cabinet mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is strong enough to support the weight of the hood.

3.2 Ducting Modes
The hood can operate in two modes:
- External Evacuation Mode: Air is extracted and vented outside through a ducting system. A suitable ducting pipe (not always included) is required.
- Recirculation Mode: Air is filtered through the included CBCF011 charcoal filter to remove odors and then recirculated back into the kitchen. This mode is ideal when external venting is not possible.
