What is the minimum mount height between range's top to the hood's bottom? |
| Minimum mount height between range top to hood bottom should be no less than 28". The maximum mount height should be no more than 36". The hood must be installed at the correct mounting height. Hoods mounted too low could result in heat damage. Hoods mounted too high, on the other hand, will be less effective and performance will suffer. |

How do I clean and maintain my Cyclone range hood? |
| To clean and maintain a Cyclone range hood there are a number of options. First, you can spray a mixture of dishwasher soap and water into the fan blades while the machine is running. The soapy water will run the same path through the machine as the grease, effectively cleaning all of its internal components, and be dispensed in the grease traps for convenient disposal. Second, and most effective, is to manually take the machine apart and thoroughly clean each part by hand. As for the exterior of the machine it is as simple as wiping the surface areas with a damp clothe, buffing it to a nice shine |

What type of things should I look for in a range hood? |
| There are many factors to consider when purchasing a range hood. The power, or amount of (CFM) cubic-feet-per-minute that the machine can draw is very important along with the relative noise level. The style, colour, material, and overall aesthetics of the fan should be considered, as should the functionality of the fan, such as whether or not it requires a filter. The specific features that a particular fan boasts are important as well such as the warranty, digital control panels, the number of fan speeds, and self-cleaning features. |

How can I tell the relative power of a range hood? |
| The power of a range hood is measured by how many cubic-feet-per-minute (CFM) of air the machine can draw. |

What is the difference between an under-mount and a canopy range hood? |
| An under-mount range hood fits underneath the cabinetry, secured to the bottom of the lower shelf. The ductwork is hidden by the cabinetry and vents through the shelves and to outside of the house. A canopy range hood is secured to the wall above the stove, and has a large venting shaft that extends upwards into the ceiling. There is no cabinetry as the canopy hood takes up all of the space above it. |

Can I install a Cyclone Range Hood myself? |
| Installing a Cyclone Range Hood is fairly straightforward and each machine does come with detailed installation instructions. However installing a range hood on ones own is not recommended for those who are novices in electrical or handy work. |

What is the difference between filter and non-filter range hoods? |
| Filter range hoods have a tightly coiled mesh filter that traps grease and oil, but reduces the fans power. Also the grease and dirt builds up and the filter becomes smelly and ineffective until replaced. Charcoal filters recycles the air rather than having it vented outside of the house, and are much less effective and powerful than both filter-less range hoods and those with mesh filters. |
