PLANNING DUCTWORK INSTALLATION

(This section for UXT2030AA, UXT2036AA, UXT3030AA, and UXT3036AA hoods only. UXT4030AA and UXT4036AA hoods skip this section and go on to "Prepare the Hood".)

Begin planning ductwork by deciding where duct will run between the range hood and the outside. For best performance, use the shortest possible duct run and a minimum numaber of elbows. There are several choices shown - FIGS. A - F below.

FIG. A

Ducting directly through the wall (for range hoods mounted on an exterior wall). Shown are two ways to duct through an outside wall. If a wall cap is used directly off the back of the hood, special care must be taken to make sure that the damper in the damper/duct connector on the hood damper in the wall cap do not interfere with each other when the hood is operating. This could result in either inadequate air delivery or backdrafts. If this condition does exist, remove the hood damper flap. Sometimes when using a wall cap it is easier to duct vertically and then use an elbow as shown FIG. B.

In more complex ducting situations, a 3-1/4" x 10" rectangular ducting range hood (UXT3030AA and UXT3036AA hoods) can be converted to a round duct by means of a transition.

FIG. C. Straight up through the roof us- ing 7" round duct (for single story instal- lations - UXT2030AA and UTX2036AA only)

FIG. D. Ducting straight up through the roof using 3¼" x 10" rectangular duct. (For single story installations UXT3030AA and UXT3036AA hoods only.)

FIG. E. Ducting between the ceiling joists (for multi-story installations) or through the soffit space above the cabinets (where the soffit connects to an outside wall).

PREPARE THE HOOD

FIG. F. Straight up through the roof using 6" round duct (for single-story installations).

These models boast a blend of powerful functionality, innovative technology, and aesthetic appeal.

One of the standout features of these Maytag models is their powerful ventilation capabilities. Equipped with high-performance motors, they efficiently eliminate smoke, steam, and cooking odors, ensuring a fresh atmosphere in the kitchen. The UXT4030AA, with its robust airflow, is ideal for larger kitchens or frequent cooking, while the UXT2030AA, with a slightly lesser capacity, suits smaller spaces without compromising on efficiency.

User-friendly controls are a hallmark of these hoods. The push-button controls on these models allow for easy operation, enabling users to select from multiple fan speeds to adjust ventilation based on cooking intensity. The integrated lighting feature is another practical aspect. With bright bulbs, the hoods illuminate the cooking surface, providing optimal visibility during meal preparation.

In terms of design, the Maytag under-cabinet hoods showcase a polished, stainless-steel finish that complements various kitchen styles. Their streamlined profiles fit seamlessly into cabinetry, creating a sophisticated look without being obtrusive. The UXT3030AA and UXT3036AA come with a slightly larger width, accommodating a broader range of kitchen layouts and cooking appliances.

The installation of these hoods is straightforward, compatible with standard under-cabinet placements, making them ideal for both new builds and remodels. Moreover, they feature dishwasher-safe aluminum grease filters that ensure easy maintenance and cleanliness, contributing to the longevity of the appliance.

With Whisper Quiet technology, these hoods offer a quieter operation compared to many other models, allowing for pleasant cooking experiences and conversation-friendly environments. This feature is particularly beneficial in open-concept spaces where kitchen and living areas blend.

In summary, the Maytag UXT2030AA, UXT4030AA, UXT3030AA, UXT3036AA, and UXT2036AA under-cabinet ventilation hoods combine high efficiency and attractive design with user-centric features.
