How easy is this to install under a cabinet. The electrical box is in the cabinet above it. I do not want to install as an exhaust model.

I did not install it this way. However, there is a bracket spot welded on the hood portion itself. This will make it difficult to mount the hood flush to the under surface of the cabinet. You would probably have to mount the hood with the bracket flush to the cabinet bottom and get I think a one inch filler piece.....

Merely a matter of trim. You can still have it "under" your wall cabinet, on the shelf, without any trim. Just make sure there is a few inches clearance on top and on the sides, for heat to escape. If it's not too far from the hood of your stove, this will take care of exhaust.

Mine came with the chimney - two parts, one sleeves over the other so you can slide it to ceiling height. They aren't full-square "boxes", the backs are open (where they go against the wall). Pretty quick install if you're replacing an old one and the exhaust ducting is in place in your ceiling. It comes with drywall anchors - I'd really advise you mount it to wood or framing though!

You'll need some way to vent the exhaust. If you have drop ceilings you might be able to vent it up into the ceiling.

I did install and it works perfectly.....the bottom vent enables the in cabinet installation.

If I am understanding your question correctly, I would say "no", it installs over a regular electrical box, similar to installing an overhead light fixture. Hope this helps answer your question.

Mine works great. My husband installed ours. Ours sits atop of a travertine counter with everything underneath in the cabinet. I'm not sure what you mean. Could you state clearer and resend and I'll have my husband reply. BTW I love it!

Not entirely clear what the question is but you need to have access to top of unit after it is screwed in place to connect duct and electrical wire. As discussed previously - it is difficult to install in existing ceiling since the hole you push the unit up through is larger than the grille so you will have to repair ceiling unless you remove part of the unit, and then reassemble unit after it is pushed up into ceiling. So it is better to install it from above ceiling.

Realize that this is an outlet COVER. It does NOT include the electrical box. Assuming you have an existing electrical outlet box, it is very easy to remove the existing cover and install this one in its place. If you don't already have an existing electrical outlet box, you will want to get an electrician to run wires and install one. Installing an electrical box on a brick wall may involve drilling into the brick with a carbide bit. Don't attempt this yourself unless you are comfortable with wiring and with drilling into brick or concrete.

It can be installed afterwards, but it is very difficult. It has to be assembled in pieces inside the cabinet as it won't go in the door and the nature of the tight space makes it very difficult to squeeze in there. Have some long screw bigs and plan on using a ratchet set with a small screw bit for tight corners. It took about 2 hours to get it in after all the planning and manipulation, but it was well worth it, the unit it GREAT.

It's pretty easy to install. I put mine in a pretty unfriendly environment and have had no problems. You probably got a bad one. I'd ask for a replacment. One of the benefits of buying through Amazon.

I checked with my son who installed our unit and he said he remembers thinking it could be installed from below if necessary. However, we were able to access it through the attic. So while I cannot say definitely, there is a good possibility that you would be able to install it from below.

I had to install a wall socket above each cabinet/cupboard. I have 7 cabinets in groups of 1, 2, & 4. My cupboards are about 16"" below the ceiling so we have space for the wall socket with the wire in the wall. My cupboard configuration required 3 new sockets which were wired and controlled from 1 wall switch.

Frankly if the cabinet is open, you do not really need the fan. Biut given the choices, I would pull air through the front and exhaust to the back.

You can do either. But it depends on your attic spaces and its ventilation. My attic is open with no storage near the exhaust so it's vented into the attic. However, always follow your local codes. Also, this unit is quiet and I like the model.

I feel like it is easy to install, but I worked in HVAC for years and have installed hundreds. Wiring depends on the age of your furnace as most in the last decade or so have integrated wiring in their control panels. If not it is considerably more difficult. If you have some reasonable electrical and ducting skills it's reasonably easy, if in doubt hire a professional. Good luck.
