4. Installation

The AMZCHEF Range Hood Insert is designed for built-in installation within your kitchen cabinetry. It supports both ducted (venting outdoors) and ductless (recirculating indoors) configurations.

4.1 Ducted vs. Ductless Operation

For ductless (recirculating) operation, install the activated charcoal filters to purify the air before returning it to the kitchen. The charcoal filters are essential for effective odor removal in ductless mode.
