We have 15 inch cabinets. The hood range is 12 inches. The quarts back splash make up ~ 1 3/8 of the three inch gap. Do you have recommendations to fill that 1 5/8 gap?
@@Hauslane Thanks for the quick reply. Sounds like there would be a huge market for something like that with so many people replacing microwaves hung on 15-inch cabinets with range hoods.
Just installed for a customer and this sucker really sucks 🙂. It was fairly difficult to get to the back screws but other than that was a medium level difficulty for an experienced handyman. I was disappointed for the customer that it only had one light setting, and the one setting is very bright. I was really surprised that something this nice with such high reviews would only have one light setting. Even the cheapest under the cabinet microwaves have at least two light settings.
The hole for the power cord at the back and the screw that attaches the hood to kitchen cabinet are very close or even at the same place. Or I missed something?
Hi there. Yes, the power cord will be on the rear right side of the unit (on the top) which will be nearby the mounting hole for the rear right screw. - Hauslane
I am installing this unit over the next 2 days. Currently we have an existing 4 inch round vent pipe (not corrugated or flex but the ROUND SMOOTH galvanized pipe) which will be used for this vent hood. It has approximately 6 feet of pipe which includes 1 - 90 degree elbow and 2 - 45 degree elbows until it exits the exterior wall. my question is... will using the 4 inch pipe in the configuration i described hurt the unit in any way, specifically the fan motors by reducing the venting capacity with the 4 inch vent pipe ?
Hello - Our PS18 is designed for a 6" ducting size. We do not recommend constricting the ducting to a smaller size, as this can affect the suction and efficacy of the range hood. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to our support team at support@hauslane.com - Hauslane
We recommend at least 28 inch. Most local building local set the minimum distance at 24". Make sure you purchase unit that is full stainless steel to withstand the heat.
What are the recommended gaps (i) between the side of the cabinet wall and the side of the range hood and (ii)between the back tiles of the kitchen and the back side of the range hood?
Hi Rabi, The UC-PS18 is 29 3/4" wide, to fit inside a 30" cabinet space. So that is around 1/4" of wiggle room. The 36" size PS18 is 35 3/4" for a 36" cabinet width leaving 1/4" of space. The under-cabinet unit will mount to the bottom of the cabinet, but should be relatively flush with the wall. Please feel free to reach out to our support team if you need any further assistance! support@hauslane.com - Hauslane
I’m replacing a Broan retractable range hood it’s very slim. The distance from it to cooktop is 28” . Does the Hauslane take up more space, thereby reducing the distance to the cooktop?
Hi Joyce! Do you know how tall is your current range hood? If you can send us a photo of your kitchen, we can better understanding your layout and assist you. You can reach us at info@hauslane.com. Thanks.
How would you decide between this model, the PS -18 and the PS -38. With a 6" duct (1 turn to outside, about a 7ft run of ducting) which would be quietest at 600 cfm?
Hi Polly! The PS18 and PS38 are great choices. Both are high powered range hoods designed for heavy duty cooking styles. The PS38 is 960CFM on the highest fan speed setting, and is equipped with auto-steam clean to help keep the fans and panel clean! This model is capable of venting from the top 6" duct included. The PS18 is 860CFM on the highest fan speed setting, although it does not have auto clean, the grid-like baffle filters are easy to clean as they are easily removable and dishwasher safe. The PS18 is versatile as it comes with adapters included for top round, top rectangular, and rear venting. - Hauslane
Yes. The height for our UC-PS18 is 8". After you install the UC-PS18, you should have 26" left between the range hood and your cooktop. For electric cooktop, we recommend a distance of 24"-30". Thanks.
I just got a new one of these. It was installed today. The fans power on and work just fine, but the lights will not work. I replaced the lights with other lights and still will not work. Can you guys at Hauslane help?
HI Marc! I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your new unit. Would you mind contacting our support team at support@hauslane.com? We will be happy to help resolve any issues you are experiencing, so you can be up and running! :) -Hauslane
My contractor just installed it, but it's making a very strange harsh grinding sound when I turn it on, which stops as it is running, but again exact same grinding sound when I turn it off. Did I get a lemon?
Hi. I am sorry that you are having such problem. Please reach out to our customer service team and we can assist you to resolve this issue. One quick check up - unplug the unit, remove the duct from the range hood, and check to see if there's any foreign object (possibly the damper) dislodged in the motor housing. Thanks.
Are the four screws enclosed for installation enough to hold the 37 pounds of weight of the hood? Is any other alternative I can do to secure the hood to make sure it is fully supportive. Any advice? thanks
Hauslane Hoods are designed to be used with standard 12" cabinets and are not too heavy to use with the screws alone. For extra reinforcement, some customers have tried replacing screws with a nut and bolt of the same size from the local hardware store.
@@Hauslane What is the diameter and the length of the screws so that I can buy replacement nuts and bolts of the same size before the installation person arrives? I don't want the edge of the screws or the replacement bolts to rise to penetrate above the top cabinet floor more than necessary for bearing the weight securely.
Installation Date: 02-Jan-2022 - I'd like to share my experience just incase it might help someone. [ -1- ]. The fully assembled unit is 37 pounds, so make sure where its going to hang is solid, I added 4 x L-Brackets above for additional weight support. [ -2- ] you will need the 3rd hand support system and a couple of pieces of wood to protect your stove top and the range hood. [-3-] Previous range hood was hard wired, its a 20 year old house no plug, so I voided my warranty and cut the cord and hardwired it in (I have electrical background). [-4-] The two screws for the back of the fan are hard to reach, you need a long screw driver or bit (6" inch or longer) to reach it. This video and other video covering these range hoods could have spent a bit more time getting into more detail of the installation part, seems it just got skimmed over. The cloth that is included works really well removing dust/finger prints after installation :) I plan on using smart bulbs to be able to control the intensity of the light and colour range. It is a beautiful product and it does move air while being fairly quiet.
@@Hauslane I got it done this weekend. The rigid duct was split up into the attic, so I had a larger project than anticipated. However one quick note. It is super obvious this product is built to a higher standard. It’s robust, clean. And sturdy. All the internal components are secured and installed with the upmost scrutiny. Wire harness etc. I’m absolutely glad I went with this product. Was packaged well too. Which is good because the shipping wasn’t polite to it.
In general, flex should not be used. Some foil/mylar and semi-rigid based flex ducts are flammable. Depending on your local building code flex may be prohibited. For instance, the IRC code M1503.3 requires that “The duct shall have a smooth interior surface …” and M1503.4 specifies that “Ducts serving domestic cooking exhaust equipment shall be constructed of galvanized steel, stainless steel or copper.” Also as noted in basc.pnnl.gov/resource-guides/kitchen-exhaust-retrofit-duct-guide#edit-group-description “The duct serving the range hood should be made of rigid metal such as galvanized steel or stainless steel and should have a smooth interior surface. Metal or plastic flex ducts are prohibited. This is a common code violation related to kitchen exhaust systems.”
@@Hauslane Isn't there a danger of flexible duct trapping oils etc ? I was under the impression that building codes in USA requires rigid or almost rigid ducts.
Yes. The only thing to confirm is the size of your vent. Our UC-PS18 will fit any 6" round vent. If your vent is bigger than 6" then you would need to purchase a converter from a hardware store. if your vent is smaller than 6", then our suggestion is to run a new duct. Thanks.
Just tried to install mine today. bummer they don't give a template. Can you add a condition for those of us that have deeper cabinets than the one you are showing in your video.
We appreciate your feedback and we will pass that feedback to our product team. Our range hoods are built for standard 12" cabinets. For 15" or deeper you can install but you would have an overhang on the front.
@@Hauslane yes the hood will actually have to come out about 2” in order for the underside of the cupboard not show. This means I will have to be creative for the rectangular vent in the back as there will be a gap
I really like this range hood and will be buying soon, however, I would like to have it installed. Can you tell me who would be able to install something like this?
Please contact our customer service representative at our website www.hauslane.com or use the support form to leave a message. We'd love to get someone to help you install the new range hood. Feel free to call us with any questions. 1-800-929-0168. Thank you.
@@Hauslane Hi, I purchased the PS10 and was under the impression it came with everything you needed to install, it does not, I had to spend an additional $30.
Hi, glad to assist you. You may hardwire as most home still require hardwire. We would advise to hire a professional electrician to avoid any future problems or issues. Our customers have hardwired and were able to feel the wires through an existing hole that is located at the rear of the unit. - Hauslane
@@Hauslane I am an electrician. Feeding electrical wires through a hole in the unit that is not meant for it, that would be against electrical code. If it were to catch on fire my insurance company would nail me.
Hi P! Thank you for reaching out! Our hoods can be installed in an apartment. For this particular unit, you will need a duct to the outside. - Hauslane
Hi! Cabinet jacks can be found at your local hardware store or online, but they are not included with the unit itself. No upper components of the unit need to be removed to install it to the cabinet. - Hauslane
I ordered this from Lowes but the contracting installation company didn't apply the aluminum foil tape or check for airtightness so when I run the power it's not as powerful as advertised. Also, when I check the outside vent it's barely moving the flaps even on its highest setting. My vent ducting is enclosed by a wood box. Do you have any idea of opening it up so I can check the ducting and apply the tape myself?
Hey Jay. Unfortunately, it sounds like there is blockage in your duct. You should see the flaps opening at any setting. For your situation, you can contact Lowe's to get the contractor back or to open the wood box (usually secured by screws that can be easily removed). Keep us posted and see how we can help you further. Thanks. Hauslane
@@Hauslane Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to open the vent box. I see there are no screws or nails which hold it together. I tried my best to use a razor and box cutter to slice along the seems but still couldn't get it to open. I called Lowes and spoke to a manager who promised to call me back but it's been over 2 days. I feel like it shouldn't be my job to ensure an installation works properly.
