Will this 290CFM exhaust fan work for the kitchen ceiling? there is a 40" window in back of the cook top and 18" between the top of the window and ceiling.

I bought this fan for my kitchen only to discover that the instructions explicitly say that is is NOT intended for cooking areas. BUYER BEWARE!

I wouldn't put it in a kitchen simply because it's too loud. Noise level will get on your nerves after a while, especially if you're trying to speak to your guests. I personally think it's best for bathrooms.

Is it new construction? The fan box is large and does not fit well in a tight spot. You have to cut out excess drywall, about 2-3'' more on one end of the installation area to fit the fan in the ceiling.

I am no contractor, but I guess it it would would work for kitchen use. Although not sure if that is what it was intended for. It is a flush mount ceiling exhaust fan and you will need to run duct work to it.

My experience is that the fan is both quiet and effective. I can't say about the fit.

Hi. Not if you have proper ventilation. I always set mine on the stove right under the exhaust fan and have the window on the other end of my home open just a little so there is a path for the air to flow to the fan. This works for meat that is not real fatty. Now if you are cooking burgers or brats it's a good idea to also have a fan pointing outward in a window next to the grill to take care of the extra smoke. This is a great grill. I have tried three or four different kinds after they banned gas grilling on balconies and the others were terrible. This one cooks great food and is very easy to clean.

I put under stove exhaust fan while using. Assuming you have vented range hood.

We did install it at the minimum distance and the bottom of the fan is 18 1/2 inches from the ceiling. My son LOVES this fan. It is quiet and creates great breeze.

You probably placed the exhaust fan too high on the ceiling joist, which wouldn't allow the cover to fasten properly. Mine fit perfectly.

I would imagine it would as long as the window closes tightly to secure the fan in place. My windows are horizontal, but I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as it fits the opening. Be sure to measure the window opening and make sure the fans height fits your measurement. There are sliders to also help secure the fan in place. Hope this is helpful to you.

I don't think this type of fan should be used for a high ceiling. We have a slanted high ceiling and this fan is too small. I put this fan by an ac vent so it would circulate the air. It is perfect for what we expected. Ceiling is also low. Remember blades are small. I hope this helps.

The measurement is 16 inches for the flew (chimney part) from the start of the range hood there is 10 inches. We had this issue but wanted a polished look to our kitchen so we removed the above cabinets and put tile right to the celing in behind. Good luck with your project

This is a tall unit. You will have to be careful where you use it lest you melt your ceiling. This oven is awesome, though. The sides don't get all that hot, but the burners, if set on the counter, will be near to ceiling. Just be aware of where you set it.

I have a sloped ceiling so mine averages about 29" from the ceiling to the end of the finial. You can obtain different length rods for your fan.

I am not sure. I find it works well on mine but it is not the same. I am not clear on the shape of the stove. The fan needs to be on a part of the stove that is hot to make it work and have clear space behind it to pull warm air out. It is best placed on top of a stove to blow out air that normally goes straight up. Happy to answer follow up quesitons.

It would be very difficult because this fan is over 8" diameter. Why would you want to use such a large fan in a small duct? If you are determined, I'm sure you could make an adapter to custom fit it in line, however, a computer fan might be more compatible in this application.

Not certain this item is good for your application. Try to see if Fantech has a fan that has a three inch opening. Also, measure your vent length to determine if this model is the right one for your application. Finally, you may be able to change the vent size. If not there is an adapter piece that fits onto the three inch vent to adapt the opening to accept a four inch vent pipe. Obviously you have several choices ahead of you, good luck.

Yes it does but make sure your ceiling is high enough.They recommend 28-31" clearence from the cook top its pretty high piramid

My kitchen is 12X16 and the fan is gorgeous and provides plenty of air for the kitchen. I turn it off while cooking as it can get in the way of the flames production. The lights provided are task lights, that shine directly on the counter or wherever you direct them. This was not what I wanted for the ambient look I was seeking. #1 I put a rectangle shade lamp on the counter nearest a wall. #2 I also added 4 bucket ceiling lights for a total work space. I now have three choices of lighting. Good Luck with your project.

That should be good. We have 3 inches at the top, for airflow. Nothing on the sides, and we have had no problems. Hope this works for you.

I do not think the fan is designed to handle grease. This is a through wall not over the stove type of exhaust. It is meant for more casual odor. For direct cooking you should try one specifically designed for that use.
