What size range hood insert do I need? |
You need a range hood insert that is at least four inches larger than your kitchen range. For example, if you have a 36” range, buy a 40” insert. Or, you can buy a 46” insert – one size larger. Smaller inserts won’t capture all the heavy grease and cooking exhaust.

To choose a range hood insert, first consider the size and CFM. Be sure to measure the opening in your custom hood before making a purchase. Also, buy an insert that pulls at least 600 CFM of air to keep your kitchen air clean and fresh. Buy a variable speed insert for the most versatility in your kitchen. Then you can cook whatever you like.
