Questions and Answers for Broan-NuTone F40000 Series 24 in. Convertible Under Cabinet Range Hood with Light in Bisque

A:  The unit has knock outs on the back at the wall, you would need to remove the unit and knock out the matching metal to fit your exhaust duct work. If the house does not have the ductwork already in place then you must add it or leave the unit as is. All of these range hoods are really useless, they either spray the smoke, filled with oil, in your face and all over the kitchen or they make a vain attempt to fan it through the tube or duct up through your attic and outside. Now I ask you, do you think that little fan is going to send oil filled smoke up that high and outside? I don't, it may send it up a foot or so but then it's coming right back down into the unit and usually drip out through the screen!

A:  The hood comes with a rectangle vent and a round vent. That won't be enough. You will have to add extension vent parts depending on the length of space between your hood and the outside. To be sure, you either have an opening to your outside wall or you are going to make one. Otherwise, The ventless install brings the air up through the vent hood and it passes out through the front of your hood. The air does pass through a screen filter to catch greasy air/smoke. Back to your question. I believe you can get the additional vent parts from a Home Depot store. AND, you can find and order parts online from the Home Depot website. I had to order an extension for the vent to make it longer and the local Home Depot store did not have it, but I was able to find the part online and had it shipped to my house

A:  The F40000-Series range hood is convertible, as you already know. To make it a VENTED hood, you will first need to decide if you are going to use the 7" round vertical ducting option, or the 3-1/4" x 10" vertical OR horizontal ducting option. The correct damper/duct connector for either one is available, and our Customer Serivce Department can assist you with that. You will need to front louver cover (part S99091027). You will have to purchase locally the correct type of ducting, and then a roof or wall cap. BEFORE you begin the project, you may want to call our Customer Service so they can advise you about the parts. We would encourage you to read the installation instructions as www.broan.com as well. Give us a call. we will be happy to assist. Customer Service is available at 1-888-336-3948 between 7:30 AM and 6:00 PM (CDT) Monday-Friday.

A:  Model F4030BLS Under-Cabinet Range Hood has a shiny gloss Black Stainless Steel finish.

A:  Gloss.

A:  Yes, model F402401 Under-Cabinet Range hood is designed to be hard wired. Optional Model HCK44 Cord Kit is sold separately and can be used to convert the wiring so it will plug into a wall outlet.

A:  Yes

A:  No. It's made to be hard wired. It would not be safe to do that.

A:  I believe you can. Hard wire is taking the electric wires from the wall and connecting it to the wires built into the hood. To have a plug in, I believe you would need a plug in cord with the other end having the wires showing which would be similar appearance as the wire coming out of your wall. When you connect the plug in cord (or wall wire cord) be sure to use wire nuts. I think it's the yellow nuts, which is a tad bit larger than the orange nuts that come with the hood.

A:  Model F404204 Convertible Range Hood is shipped with a washable Aluminum Filter (included). If this model range hood is installed in the non-ducted application (not vented to the outdoors) then an additional Non-Duct Filter is required (purchase non-ducted filter Model 41F separately).
