Why is my ang Ventilation Hood not venting out correctly?

If your ang Ventilation Hood isn't venting correctly, it might be due to several reasons. First, the hood could be installed outside the recommended clearance, which should be adjusted to 26” to 30” between the hood and cooktop, or 30” to 36” for island hoods. Insufficient make-up air inside the house can also be a factor, so try opening a window to improve performance. Obstacles blocking the duct work should be removed, and ducting should be changed if the pipe size is smaller than suggested.
