VIKIO 30” Under Cabinet Range Hood Installation | Rear Vent Conversion & Wiring

In this video, I install a VIKIO 30-inch under cabinet range hood in a 30-inch opening, focusing on the real-world decisions involved in a rear-vent retrofit, electrical routing, and mounting prep. This video does not cover cabinet measurements, fitment must be verified before purchase. The emphasis here is on venting configuration, damper placement, electrical setup, and mounting strategy when replacing an existing hood. What’s covered: Fast-forwarded unboxing 360° reveal of the unit before installation Converting from factory top venting to rear venting Moving the vent block-off plate Damper placement strategy: Installing the supplied damper in the existing in-wall vent Explanation of why mounting the damper on the hood would restrict airflow due to partial alignment Cutting power and verifying wiring with a voltage tester Cutting cabinet and drywall openings for a new outlet Installing a GFCI outlet with audible alarm inside the cabinet above the hood Resetting and testing the GFCI Applying 1-inch foam sealing around the rear vent opening Installing 2×4 blocking in the upper cabinet for secure mounting Final installation using 3-inch screws and washers after removing grease screens Final reveal and gesture-control demo Note: The lifting and final fastening of the hood was performed with assistance and is explained via on-screen captions rather than shown in real time. This is a real-world retrofit install, not a staged or factory-new setup. 00:00 Unboxing 01:34 360° Range Hood Reveal 01:46 Converting Top Vent to Rear Vent 02:32 Damper Installation (In-Wall Vent Strategy) 04:07 Checking Power & Feeding Wires to Cabinet 05:19 GFCI Outlet Selection & Junction Box Fitment 06:19 First-Time GFCI Reset 06:33 Foam Seal, Wiring Hole & 2x4 Blocking (Captioned) 06:48 Final Install Reveal & Gesture Control Demo Materials Used VIKIO 30-inch under cabinet range hood Old-work electrical junction box Wire caps / wire nuts Nashua foil HVAC tape (Foilmastic) 3-inch construction screws (not included with hood) Washers (not included with hood) 2×4 lumber (for upper cabinet blocking) 1-inch foam sealing material (rear vent seal) Tools Used Oscillating multi-tool Drill with assorted bits Screwdriver with bits Voltage tester pen Circular saw (for cutting 2×4s) Drywall hand saw Disclaimer: This video is for informational and educational purposes only.
