BUYING A RANGE HOOD
What is the exact width of the 30” range hoods?
What is CFM?
CFM is an abbreviation for cubic feet per minute. It measures the speed of airflow. More speficially, CFM ratings tell us how fast air can be moved out of a room. Many of our customers ask us about CFM suction power and why we don't list it in our descriptions. Suction power definitely matters when it comes to finding the right range hood! However, there’s no clear international standard for CFM. Manufacturers also use different testing environments and labs. CFM ratings vary based on kitchen setup, venting, windows, and more. In fact, you could test the same range hood in the same kitchen and change an element (such as closing a window) and get a different CFM reading. That’s why we recommend selecting your rangehood based on your cooking needs.
What is the noise level of Hauslane range hoods?
The majority of our range hoods are rated at around 60 dBs at the highest setting. You can control the noise of the model through our various speed settings. To learn more about range hood noise control, check out our detailed blog. To get an in-depth explanation about noise levels, read our blog: Everything You Need to Know about Sones Ratings for Range Hoods
How long is the power cord for the range hoods?
How much clearance is needed between the cooktop and the range hood?
Clearance is important to ensuring your range hood functions properly and for safety. We recommend a clearance of 24 to 30 inches between an electric cooktop and base of the range hood. For a gas cooktop, the clearance should be between 28 to 30 inches. Read more about the best range hood mounting height.
What type of stainless steel are Hauslane range hoods made with?
The range hood I purchased is over 40 pounds. Will it hold under the cabinet?
Does Hauslane make range hoods that fit 15” deep cabinets?
How do I pick the correct size range hood?
For the best fit, we recommend selecting the size of your range hood to at least match the size of your cooking range. For example, a 30” range hood is a good choice for a 30” cooktop but would not work with a 36” cooktop.
Can I replace my over-the-range microwave with a Hauslane range hood?
Yes, we offer a variety of range hoods to fit your existing space over the microwave. We provide a handful of resources that give a step-by-step guide on how to replace an over-the-range microwave with a new range hood.
Does Hauslane make custom range hoods?
We do not offer custom range hoods. However,the IN-R100 model is a popular choice and can be installed into custom hoods. We do offer convertible range hoods that can be installed for either ducted or ductless operation.
How do I know which range hood will fit my kitchen?
We know picking a range hood can be a challenge; we’ve crafted an in-depth Buyer’s Guide to help you find the ideal model for your kitchen and cooking needs. You can also start by reading this quick overview on how to choose the right range hood for your kitchen.
What does recirculation mean?
Recirculation means the range hood will extract dirty air from the kitchen, send it through a filtration system (usually aluminum filter & charcoal filter), and distribute purified air back to the kitchen. This application is intended for kitchens that do not have any duct work.
I really want to see the range hood in person. Do you have any dealers near me?
I don't have a vent opening in my kitchen. What are my options?
At Hauslane, we offer range hoods that work for kitchens with no duct work. This type of hood is known as a recirculating range hood, or ductless range hood. To browse our ductless range hoods, head to our website and click on 'all products'. Then, filter by selecting 'ductless' in the dropdown menu at the top of the page. Please note that our ductless range hoods require charcoal filters that must be replaced every few months. Some range hoods pair aluminum mesh filters with charcoal filters for extra air-purification power. Depending on your cooking frequency, we recommend to change your filters at least every 2 months. For more information on the ductless range hood installation process, read this blog. The alternative to using a recirculating range hood is to create a vent opening and run duct work. This can seem a bit daunting but it is much more simple than you might think.
What's the difference between water clean and steam clean?
These two cleaning methods are separate functions. Water cleaning uses a mixed solution to wash away grease and oil. The UC-C395 and UC-C400 under cabinet range hoods both offer a self-cleaning function using water. Steam cleaning converts water into steam to soften the solidified grease. It is then followed by a water cleaning cycle to keep the inside of the range hood free from grease. The UC-PS38 under cabinet range hood uses the steam cleaning method in its self-cleaning function. Learn more about how our auto steam-cleaning function works here.
What are the benefits of the water clean and steam clean functions?
What model range hood has self-cleaning?
Our self-cleaning models include the UC-PS38, UC-C400, and UC-C395. The UC-PS38 is our range hood that exclusively uses a steam-cleaning method, which dissolves caked on grease and extends the life of the motor. The UC-C400 and UC-C395 under cabinet range hoods use a water cleaning method which involves running a mixed solution through the hood to wash away grease and oil. Read more about our steam cleaning function here.
How often should I use the water clean and steam cleaning functions?
This depends on your cooking habits. If you are a heavy-duty or every day cooker; using high temperatures and making dishes such as stir fry often, we recommend using the features every other day. If you don't cook frequently, or use lighter cooking methods, you can run it about once a month. Learn more about how to use the auto steam cleaning function for all of our hoods here.
What is a convertible range hood?
A convertible range hood can use either ducted or ductless venting systems. You can install convertible range hoods to either recirculate or vent through ductwork, depending on your kitchen setup. A convertible range hood offers placement flexibility. If you plan on moving your cooking area in the future, you can easily change the range hood to suit your new kitchen layout, whether that will be ducted or not.
What are the benefits of charcoal filters? Do I need them?
Ductless range hoods are not connected to a ducting vent and cannot send dirty air outdoors. Instead, Ductless range hoods take in fumes, odors, and grease particles, filter the air, and re-distribute purified air back into your kitchen. Non-ducted range hoods typically operate with filters with a charcoal layer and an aluminum layer. The aluminum layer traps grease, grime, and odor particles before the charcoal layer neutralizes the air and recirculates it. The activated charcoal within the filter is processed to absorb gas molecules. Oxygen is used to heat the carbon which vaporizes and removes impurities from the air. This reaction creates pores on the surface that continue catching gas molecules, trapping and absorbing them inside for cleaner air to breathe. Hauslane offers two types of charcoal filters: a carbon chips filter for wall mount, island, and built-in range hoods and a cotton charcoal filter for under the cabinet range hoods. Read more about the benefits of charcoal filters here.
What are the differences between the baffle filters and hybrid filters?
The baffle filters are made of stainless steel and trap grease through grooves to prevent dripping grease from falling onto your stove or effecting your kitchen interior. Hybrid filters are made of aluminum mesh filters which provide different layers of air purification. As air reaches the hybrid filter, it traps and separates out the grease from cooking fumes. The aluminum layer is made from a thin sheet of aluminum that has been woven into a mesh pattern, which allows air to pass through while capturing larger particles like grease, fumes, and toxins. The mesh layer layer is a synthetic filter media which is designed to capture smaller particles like bacteria and smoke. Some range hood models pair aluminum mesh filters with charcoal filters for extra air-purification power.

Ceiling-mounted hoods are often used in kitchens with island cooktops, where there's no wall to mount the hood. Ceiling-mounted hoods can provide a sleek, modern look and can be a great focal point in the kitchen. They can also be more effective at capturing smoke and steam from the cooktop since they're positioned closer to the source. For information about how to install a range hood through the ceiling, read this blog.
