Broan-nutone alt230ss Range Hood 375 Cfm 30 in Stainless

Product Description

The BROAN-NUTONE alt230ss is a convertible under-cabinet range hood designed for residential kitchens where cooking ventilation is a priority. Rated at 375 max blower CFM, this unit moves smoke, grease-laden air, and cooking odors efficiently through a smooth-flow blower wheel paired with high-flow filters. The hood spans 30 inches wide and is finished in stainless steel. Two-level LED lighting modules operate at a 3000 K color temperature, providing even, consistent illumination over the cooktop. The LED modules are tested in cooking environments to resist dimming over time. Licensed HVAC or general contractors typically handle installation in residential kitchens during new construction or renovation work.

This range hood suits residential under-cabinet installations above residential cooking ranges or cooktops. The convertible design supports both ducted and ductless configurations, giving installers flexibility based on kitchen layout and available chase space. It is suited for standard 30-inch cabinet bays. The alt230ss replaces the BQDD130SS, making it a direct upgrade path for service calls or kitchen remodels where the prior model is being retired.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed contractor or experienced tradesperson familiar with residential ventilation systems. Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before beginning any wiring or mounting work, and verify the branch circuit rating matches the unit requirements. When ducting, follow local mechanical codes for duct sizing, material, and termination point to ensure proper airflow and backdraft damper function. For ductless conversion, install the appropriate recirculating filter kit before sealing the cabinet penetration.
