Know before you buy
This model is designed to support cooktops with a total output of up to 65,000 BTUs. It is well-suited for standard residential gas or electric ranges.
At its lowest speed, the hood operates at just 39 dBA (0.4 sones), which is exceptionally quiet. You will notice more sound as you increase the fan speed to handle heavy cooking tasks.
Yes, this is a ducted range hood that requires a 6-inch vertical duct connection to vent air outside your home. It is not designed for recirculating or ductless installation.
The mesh filters are dishwasher-safe, making them easy to maintain. For best results, we recommend running them through a cycle periodically to prevent grease buildup that can restrict airflow.
Perimeter ventilation pulls air from the edges of the hood rather than just the center. This design increases the velocity of the airflow, which helps capture smoke and odors more efficiently across the entire cooking surface.
Yes, the integrated LED task lights are designed to provide clear, focused illumination directly over your cooktop. They offer excellent visibility for monitoring your food without the heat output of traditional halogen bulbs.
