Measure the width of your current stove or cabinet, it is either 24", 30" or 36".

 

Measure the distance from under the cabinet to the top of your stove. Use that measurement, minus the height of your desired machine. You will have the required height distance.

We recommend 25" to 30" distance for required height.

 

For all Sakura range hood, we recommend 6" duct or larger for 700 or higher cfm models.

If you have a smaller duct, you can buy a reducer accordingly. 

 

There are 3 venting positions for a range hood. They are top round opening, top rectangular opening or back rectangular opening. Check your current model for a correct venting type, if you are not sure, take a picture of the existing model and contact our store salesperson.

Measure from the top of the floor to the bottom of the ceiling, the distance is either 8',9' or 10'.

If you have a box under ceiling as shown in the picture, you minus 1', so you get the smaller flue version.

 

Calm starting and speed regulation performance, wide and smooth speed regulation range, strong overload capacity, and little influence by electromagnetic interference; DC motor has good starting characteristics and speed regulation characteristics; The Torque of the DC motor is relatively large; Maintenance is cheaper; Compared with AC, the DC motor is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

They create higher pressure differentials to push air out, therefore creating a higher cfm. 

Simply cut the plug and peel off the rubber around the three copper wire exposed, connect them to the main power source using the crimping cap provided. Match the color of the wires. If you don't have a ground wire, just put the crimping cap on by itself.

Find a 3 prong connector of unused appliance or power strip, cut the connector and connect to the machine's 3 copper wires using the crimping cap provided. Then plug the 3 prong connector into the power outlet.

Cleaning your range hood is a key to maintain its performance, as the grease builds up inside the machine, the venting space gets limited, decreasing its efficiency.

If there is a big change in the venting power, check whether your machine's damper is stuck. It is the flapping 2 piece metal placed between the top venting opening and the ducting. Sometimes it won't fully open up due to the grease buildup. Clean it or remove it will solve the problem.

On certain model, there is a lock function which allows the machine to be cleaned without triggering control. Simply press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to unlock.

There is a layer of white-greyish protective film covering brand new machines, simply peel it off before installation.

The cfm number listed for each machine is measured under ideal condition. The size of your ducting, the length of your ducting, the number of elbows of your ducting greatly affects the efficiency of the range hood. For maximum cfm, contacting our experienced technician to make changes to your current ducting work might be required.
