Questions & Answers
I'm not sure what your setup is like, but when I did mine, I hardwired the hood into the old hood's existing black and white wires. If you don't have the pre-wired design that I did, you'll probably need a power cord kit if you want to physically plug the unit into a standard wall socket.
The air passes through the filter on the underside of the range hood before exiting through the three columns of vent slats on the front. There are no other vents or ducts in the wall or through the roof to connect to.
Using a measuring tape, determine the length of 30".
Cooking fumes pass through a grease filter and a thin, replaceable activated charcoal filter as they pass through this fan. It can't take in a lot of odors or smoke from the kitchen. To effectively remove cooking odors and smoke, you'll need a fan that can be ducted outside.

Review of the directions This is an attractive range hood that is also reasonably priced and simple to replace. Here's how I went about it: Before proceeding, turn off the power at the breaker box and double-check that it is off. To expose the light wires, unscrew the small black screw that holds the metal cover that the light wires come out of. 3: Unscrew the wiring nuts on the white and black wires on the old unit, and loosen the ground screw. 4: Remove four screws from under the cabinet that hold the old vent in place, and set aside the old unit 5: Use a flathead screwdriver to bend out the wiring plug in the hole where the wiring will pass through on a new unit. Simply insert the screwdriver and rock back and forth until the screw loosens. Look at the old unit to see which one you should get rid of 6: 7: Attach the unit to the wall with four screws in the corner (as shown in the photo) Connect the wires the same way you did on the old one, white to white, black to black, and so on. 9: Use one black screw to secure the wiring cover. install an old light bulb (I used one from my previous unit). 10: Turn on the power and run the fan and light tests. 11: Take a moment to reflect on how much money you saved by doing it yourself, and enjoy the compliments from your spouse or significant other. br>br>While this may appear intimidating, it was actually quite simple. The filter mine came with seemed nicer than others, it had a metal front and blue filter material on the back, and it didn't come with a light bulb, so have one on hand. Although the fan isn't particularly powerful, I purchased it primarily for its aesthetic appeal. I received no compensation for writing this review and purchased the product myself, so I hope it is helpful.
It took me a day and a half to de-stress. Due to decades of the previous owner cooking greasy foods in the kitchen without a hood, the entire kitchen is greased, including the inside of the cabinets. I resolved that until I had a range hood, I would never cook a grease-producing type of food, but what to do? br>br>Well, I used to share a house with my ex (who wasn't my ex at the time) and we had one of these cheap Broan hoods. We did a variety of cooking and the kitchen did not accumulate a layer of grease, so I bought this hood and the power cord adapter that allowed me to plug it into the wall when I found it on Amazon dot com. br>br>I did something unconventional but effective: I bolted the hood into the wall using the four holes in the back. I purchased inch-wide rugs. and-a- half-length screws that were as thick as possible while still fitting through the holes in the back of the hood, as well as wall anchors. I found a stud on the left and mounted the hood there, then screwed the hood into the plaster with the holes on the right. This hood isn't going anywhere because the left side is screwed directly into the stud. br>br>So, I seared my first steak in a pan and finished it in the oven the other day. That was the first steak I'd had in almost a year (I rarely buy steak in restaurants), and this hood sucked up what came up off the pan, filtered it, and blew it out perfectly. Thanks to this Broan hood, I was able to cook prime rib in my new old kitchen.
This hood was purchased as part of a kitchen renovation project. I would have preferred one that is vented to the outside, but due to the kitchen design, this would have been prohibitively expensive, and the project would not have been a do-it-yourself project. It was very simple to set up. Any seasoned do-it-yourselfer will tell you that The installation should be simple for a do-it-yourselfer. The shipping was lightning fast, and the fan performs admirably in terms of moving and filtering air. It keeps the steam from escaping all over the kitchen and filters out odors reasonably well; however, it does not perform as well as a fan that is vented externally, which is to be expected.
5 stars. 4 is probably a better estimate. 5 stars. Simple, lovely, light, and relatively simple to put together. We really wanted a nice ducted system, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $700 on a low-quality system. ducting system at the end We use it ductless and find it to be a great lazy, cost-conscious option. Quiet for the time of year. I almost wish the high setting was a little stronger, but it does a good job of sucking up the majority of the steam and smoke. Make sure it isn't higher than 24 inches from the stove. It doesn't come with a plug, so you'll either have to hardwire it (which could be a challenge, especially if you have to rewire your home), or you'll have to buy one separately. route wires), or, as I did, purchase a pigtail plug. A pigtail is a three-pronged extension cord that looks like a regular extension cord. at one end, a three-pronged plug, and three wires to connect to the hood wires (black, white, and ground). Instead of hardwiring, you can simply plug it into a wall outlet. This entails drilling a 1-inch hole in the ground. inch hole in the shelf to which the hood will be attached to allow the wire to pass through. br>br>To screw into, it requires a completely flat shelf or surface above it. It's held in place by four short screws. It's just an eighth of an inch under 30 inches wide, so it'll fit if you have exactly 30 inches to work with. The control panel is 12 inches in length, which is the same as a standard 12-inch control panel. Cabinet with an inch depth.
It has a nice appearance and performs admirably. It looks nice for the price, and it was simple to put together in under 30 minutes even if you had no prior experience.
This is a perfect match for the Kenmore range hood that was installed 15 years ago in my home. Because it is identical in every way, it was obvious that it was made in the same factory, making the swap in 15 minutes a breeze. When I switched from white to stainless steel, this worked perfectly to match our new oven. The fan is noisy, and the light cover is unattractive, according to many reviews; this is not a high-end product. Chefs' hoods are coming to an end - It's a typical range hood for middle-class families looking for a basic range hood. When I stand in front of my light bulb cover, I can't see it because I'm 6 feet tall. The plastic light bulb cover would be visible if I were shorter, but I wouldn't mind. The fan sounds like a standard cheaper fan, so it isn't particularly quiet, but that isn't an issue for me at this price point for a nice-looking range hood. If you hear a fan running, it means someone is preparing food. That's excellent news!.
