Q: QuestionWhat are the dimensions of the column that extend above the actual hood to the ceiling? Can an extension be purchased so that the column can extend to and through a 9' ceiling?

Asked 8 years ago by HighwayGuy.

This question was asked about the related product: KitchenAid - 36 inches - Convertible - Wall Range Hood - Black Stainless Steel

• A:Answer The outside dimensions are 13"wide x 10.5" deep x 34" tall. It fit in our kitchen with 9' ceiling and didn't need the extension that you have to/ can order separately. We bought this model because the hole in our drywall ceiling was large for the vent and this was one of the widest column models we could find. We love it and would recommend.

Q: QuestionCan this hood be used in a shorter capacity? I have a soffit that the exhaust rises into. Too tall for a under cabinet hood and sometimes too short for a long exhaust cover. Does it need to be cut or is it in sections?

Q: QuestionWhat is the filter model number for this unit and do you carry them

Asked 5 years ago by Velasco07.

• A:Answer Wow, I'm sorry KitchenAid can't even answer a simple question like this and forces you to call in to order a simple thing like replacement filters. I am rethinking my purchase and hopeful I can find an alternative that fits with what my builder is doing, because this seems like awful CS.
