CIARRA 29 Inch Range Hood Insert Built in under cabinet 450CFM VENT hood with Stainless steel CAS75913E-OW

No. Even at its highest speed, the hood operates at a maximum of 8.5 sones, which is quieter than many traditional range hoods with similar power.

Yes. This model supports both ducted and ductless installation. If you prefer a ductless setup, you’ll need to purchase the CACF003 carbon filter (sold separately) for air recirculation.

The hood is equipped with durable stainless steel baffle filters that trap grease effectively and can be removed for easy cleaning. Simply wash the filters in warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher for convenience.

All CIARRA range hood filters are dishwasher safe, making cleaning quick and easy.

Each CIARRA range hood comes with an installation manual and video guide. If you need extra help, our customer service team is ready to assist.

CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute, a unit of measurement used to quantify the volume of air a range hood can move or extract per minute. In kitchen appliances, CFM measures how effectively a range hood ventilates the air by removing smoke, odors, steam, and grease from the kitchen.

The general rule of thumb for selecting the right CFM for a range hood depends on both the kitchen size and the power of your stove. For electric cooktops, it's recommended to have a range hood with 100 CFM per 12 inches of stove width, while for gas cooktops, you need a range hood with CFM between 100 and 120 per 12 inches due to the higher heat output. For instance, if your cooktop is 36 inches wide, you would need a range hood with a minimum of 300 to 360 CFM to ensure proper ventilation.

To measure the CFM required for your kitchen, you'll need to take into account the size of the room, the type of cooktop, and how frequently you cook. A common approach for estimating the necessary CFM is to calculate the square footage of your kitchen and then multiply that by a factor of 0.8 to 1.0. This will give you a good idea of how much airflow your range hood should provide.

The airflow capacity for this range hood varies by speed level, as shown in the table below:
