How to Install the UC-PS38 Range Hood with Matt Weber of Home Improvement and Repairs

Matt Weber of Home Improvement and Repairs selected Hauslane’s UC-PS38 for his new range hood. This range hood was selected based on its professional design, perimeter suction power, steam-cleaning feature, and six fan speed settings.

Here’s how Matt simplified the process to make installation a breeze:

• Use a cabinet jack to support the microwave when removing it
• Put down a piece of plywood similar in size to the microwave to protect your surfaces
• Tighten the cabinet jack to support the microwave as you remove it after removing the anchor weights and fasteners
• Connect the vent duct
• Make any necessary adjustments to cabinets
• Drill cord access
• Assemble the range hood according to the manufacturers instructions
• You may need blocking to give the cabinet jack an upward extension to support the range hood
• Raise the hood into position
• Fasten the range hood with screws and washers
• For the keyhole slots, use an extension on the driver to drill from below and to fasten them in to save time
• Place aluminum tape around the vent 

Matt described the UC-PS38 as having a “sleek stainless design, quiet operation, and plenty of light. Be sure to give his video a watch for a closer look at how to remove a vented microwave and install a range hood.You can also check out our recent DIY guide for more tips.
