Determine the installation height of the range hood (refer to figure 1).
Figure 1
If there is a gas stove under the range hood, the minimum distance
between the cooking area and the hood should be 30".
If there is an electric stove under the range hood, the minimum
distance should be 24" to 30".
Figure 2
Determine the location of the exhaust pipe which discharges to the outside. (Refer to
figure 2) A linear and short air outlet can make the range hood work more smoothly.
Avoid using too long and too bent of an exhaust pipe, the use of these pipes can
affect the performance of the hood and even shorten the service life.
Use duct tape to firmly seal the joints of the pipe, make sure the exhaust pipe and the
vent outlet are firmly connected.
