Replace CT Cooktop Ventilation with V Series Cooktop Hood

Topics:

  • What Cooktop Hood replaces a CTWH, CTEWH, IH4227?
  • Are the VW and VI models direct replacements for earlier Cooktop Ventilation Systems?
  • Installation differences between the old and new Cooktop Ventilation Hoods
  • What changes have to be made when replacing CTWH, CTEWH, IH4227 with VW30, VW36, VW45, VI42, VI45?
  • What are the differences in opening depth, width and height of old and new cooktop hoods?

Answer:

The new V Series Cooktop Ventilation wall hoods now include four lights on the underside, compared to two with the earlier model cooktop ventilation wall hoods. Additional changes to the hoods include:

  • The exception is the CTEIH42I, which had four lights.
  • New LED bulbs, compared to old halogen.
  • Stainless style hood controls are optical touch controls, compared to old style buttons.
