Powerful Ventilation in a Low-Profile Design
The 30 in KitchenAid KVUB400GSS under-cabinet range hood combines powerful perimeter ventilation with a discreet design that maximizes space above the cooking surface. Equipped with a 400 CFM motor-class ventilation system, it helps effectively remove smoke, grease, steam and odours produced during meal preparation.
Its low-profile design extends just 2 3/8 in below the cabinets, providing an open workspace while delivering ventilation suited to a variety of cooking techniques, from gentle simmering to high-heat grilling.
Perimeter Ventilation for Effective Airflow
Perimeter ventilation technology draws air in around the edges of the hood and accelerates it toward the centre, helping effectively capture smoke and steam produced during cooking.
With its 400 CFM motor-class ventilation system, this hood can be paired with a 30 or 36 in range or cooktop with a total burner output of up to 65,000 BTU.
Smart Ventilation That Adapts to Your Cooking
The Auto Speed Setting uses a heat sensor to adjust fan power according to ventilation needs while you cook. This makes it easier to manage smoke, steam and moisture produced during meal preparation.
The automatic turn-on feature detects high-temperature cooking on multiple burners. If the fan is off, the system can automatically activate it in Power Boost mode to help prevent smoke and steam from building up in the kitchen.
Three Speeds and Power Boost
Glass-edge electronic touch controls make it easy to select one of three ventilation speeds based on cooking intensity. A visual display makes it easy to identify the selected settings.
When cooking at high temperatures, the Power Boost function temporarily increases ventilation for 10 minutes to help remove smoke, grease and odours more effectively.
Quiet Operation with Whisper Quiet
KitchenAid's Whisper Quiet system provides discreet ventilation during meal preparation. At low speed, the hood has a manufacturer-rated sound level of just 0.1 sone, or 43 dBA.
This allows you to maintain effective ventilation while enjoying a more comfortable environment for cooking and conversation.
LED Lighting for Better Visibility
Two integrated LED lights illuminate the cooking surface to make it easier to monitor food, particularly on the rear burners.
A night-light setting also provides softer illumination when full brightness is not required.
Easy Maintenance with Removable Filters
Removable grease filters help capture grease particles produced during cooking. They can be removed and cleaned with soap and water for easier regular maintenance.
The glass-edge touch-control surface also simplifies cleaning while maintaining a streamlined appearance.
Installation Options to Suit Your Kitchen
Designed for under-cabinet installation, this low-profile hood helps preserve more space above the range while providing powerful ventilation.
It can be installed for exterior venting or converted to recirculating operation when the kitchen configuration does not allow for exterior ductwork. A compatible recirculation kit is required for recirculating installation.
