Alta 30-Inch 490 MAX Blower CFM 1.1 Sones Stainless Steel Range Hood

From the leader in residential indoor air quality, this under-cabinet range hood by Broan-NuTone is built to surpass industry standards with over 50 points of inspection, engineered as a reliable ventilation solution. The durable hood vent is equipped with SmartSense Auto Operation that automatically monitors and adjusts the ventilation power needed based on heat coming off the cooktop to maitain the intregity of the IAQ in your space. The Alta range hood is also up to 71% quieter: 1.1 sone is equivalent to a refrigerator running, so it won't interfere with daily life. The EZ1 Install System allows for a quick and easy 1-person installation, and the ENERGY STAR Certification is both code compliant and provides cost savings. Code Ready Technology (CRT) provides capability to reduce the 490 Max Blower CFM down to 300 or 400 CFM to meet local code requirements, and the 2-Level LED lighting modules and a 3-Speed whisper touch infrared control make cooking a breeze.  At Broan-NuTone we believe that better quality of air means better quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the SmartSense Automated Ventilation system work?

A: The hood uses an infrared sensor to monitor heat from the cooktop and automatically adjusts the fan speed to efficiently remove smoke and odors.

Q: Can the blower speed be adjusted manually?

A: Yes, manual control is available through the infrared touch controls, allowing you to choose from three blower speeds and two levels of LED lighting.

Q: How often should the grease filters be cleaned?

A: The aluminum mesh or hybrid baffle grease filters should be cleaned in the dishwasher about once a month, though more frequent cleaning may be needed depending on cooking habits and grease levels.

Q: Can this range hood be installed as non-ducted (recirculating)?

A: Yes, it is convertible for ducted (top or rear venting) or non-ducted installation. Non-ducted setups require purchasing charcoal filters separately (Filter Model HPF30).
