Q: QuestionYou previously answered my question and stated this hood is not fingerprint resistant. Will it still match the color of the fingerprint resistant other appliances? Sometimes fingerprint resistant stainless steel is a slightly different color.

Asked 6 years ago by Desminer.

• A:Answer Desminer, the grain runs differently on fingerprint resistant appliances so while they may be close in color, the color will not be exactly the same.

Q: QuestionThe specifications say the duct is 6 in round but all photos show it as square. Can someone who has purchased this clarify for me. Thanks

Asked 6 years ago by mfazz.

• A:Answer The square part shown in the photo covers the 6” ductwork. I had to create a “duct cavity” in the wall for my application because I couldn’t get the ductwork to match up with the existing exhaust vent.

Q: QuestionCan this unit be used over an Island? Also how much space would be needed over cooking grates?

Asked 7 years ago by MM.

• A:Answer It's a wall mounted unit, not for an island. Depending on the cooktop (gas or electric) will depend on how much space above the cooktop is required. We have gas and will install it 30" above. Electric is less. There are specifications on their website (find the manual) that show this information.
