Range Hood Installation

Installation requirements: 

1. Make sure the range hood size is 30 inches. If there is a cabinet above the range hood, please measure the length of the position reserved for the range hood between the cabinets. If do not have cabinet, shield of stainless steel cover needs to be purchased separately. 

2. Please confirm whether there is a preset smoke exhaust pipe above the range hood. The machine exhaust is at the top, and the exhaust port is 6 inches in diameter. The exhaust pipe must not be smaller than 6 inches in diameter.  At the same time, the straighter the pipeline is, the better the effect is. Try not to turn too much bend or 90 degrees Angle bend, otherwise it will affect the smoking effect and produce noise and other problems.

3. Please confirm whether there is power supply on the wall above the range hood.

Best installation height of range hood:

  • The recommended height range for the best installation of the range hood is between 27 "-32.5”, from the cooktop to the distance of the top of the range hood. If it is higher than 32.5”, it is recommended to add 4 "or 6" decorative plates, which has reached the best installation range. 

  • Attention! If the installation height is too high, it will affect the effect of the range hood.

Troubleshooting

Loud noise

Cause:
Ducts maybe smaller than 6 inches in diameter, clogged, too many bends or knotted pipes cause air to be unable to be discharged smoothly, resulting in back-flow of air into the pipes, resulting in collisions that produce varying degrees of noise and affect smoking effects.

 

Solution:

Check whether the pipe diameter is above 6 inches Inspect pipes for clogging and cleaning.

Check if there are too many bends or kinks in the pipe to straighten the pipe as much as possible to minimize bends.

Try to use metal hard pipe or semi-rigid flexible aluminum pipe, do not use folded aluminum foil pipe.

Can't take all the smoke

Cause:

Range hood maybe installed too high.

Ducts maybe smaller than 6 inches in diameter, clogged, too many bends, or knotted ducts cause air to be unable to escape smoothly, and when pumped back into the ducts, some of the smoke can't be sucked.

Solution:

The recommended best height range is between 36"-27", from the range to the top of the range hood. If it is higher than 36", it is recommended to add 4" or 6" decorative plates, which has reached the best installation range. Please reinstall if necessary.

Check to see if you can change pipes larger than 6 inches in diameter. Inspect pipes for clogging and cleaning.

Check if there are too many bends or kinks in the pipe to straighten the pipe as much as possible to minimize bends.
