All liners in this series are 22 1/2" deep. Recommended mounting height is 27" - 30" above the cooking surface. All Vent-A-Hood products are suitable for use in damp locations (outdoor applications such as a covered patio) when installed in a GFCI protected branch circuit.

Quiet

Turn on a Vent-A-Hood® and you’ll hear only a whisper of air movement, because the Magic Lung® system provides the quietest ventilation available. Vent-A-Hood®s with LED lights also feature SensaSource® (see left). SensaSource® raises the blower speed from low to high based on temperature for optimal grease control, fire safety, and even quieter operation.

Efficient

The powerful Magic Lung® blower traps all cooking contaminants, liquefies grease vapor and removes heat-polluted air. Because the Magic Lung® blower combines sufficient air pressure and constant speed with centrifugal filtration—and because it doesn’t pull air through a filter—it is the most efficient kitchen ventilation available today.

Easy-cleaning

The Magic Lung® housing snaps apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or with warm, soapy water. Moreover, the Magic Lung® is the only ventilation system that collects the grease in the easily cleaned housing rather than in hard-to-reach areas behind a mesh or baffle filter.

Fire-safe

The Magic Lung® is the only residential ventilation system on the market today that prevents fire from spreading to the rest of the home. Constant speed creates centrifugal pressure that prevents fire from entering the ductwork. As needed, SensaSource® increases blower speed to its normal level to maintain this safety feature.

Powerful

Magic Lung® blowers can be configured to provide the power you need for even the most demanding cooking surface. Each highly efficient Magic Lung® blower supplies 300 CFM of air movement; you can combine multiple blowers in a single Vent-A-Hood® to create the perfect ventilation for your cooking surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I do if the hood is not venting properly?

A: If smoke or heat is not being properly exhausted, check the following:

• Make sure the hood and blower capacity match your cooktop size.
• Verify that the ducting is correctly installed and free of obstructions.
• Confirm the hood is mounted at the recommended height.
• Inspect the internal blower wheels for excess grease build-up and clean if necessary.
• Ensure the dampers open and close smoothly.

Q: What does "filter-less" mean in the Magic Lung design?

Q: Can I install this hood liner outdoors?

A: No, the BH458PSLDSS model is not approved for outdoor use. However, it can be used in damp locations like covered patios if it’s connected to a GFCI-protected branch circuit.
