Setup and Installation

The Broan-NuTone F403011 range hood offers four-way convertibility for installation, allowing for vertical or horizontal ducting, or non-ducted (recirculating) operation. Ensure your cabinet opening is appropriate for the 30-inch model. The unit includes necessary adapters for 3-1/4" x 10" (vertical and horizontal) and 7" round (vertical) ducting.

Installation Options:

• Ducted Installation: Connects to existing ductwork to exhaust air outside. Supports 3-1/4" x 10" (vertical/horizontal) or 7" round (vertical) ducting.
• Non-Ducted (Recirculating) Installation: Filters air and recirculates it back into the kitchen. Requires a separate non-ducted charcoal filter (Model 41F, sold separately).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Broan-NuTone F403011 range hood, consider the following common solutions:

• Fan not operating: Check if the unit is properly plugged in or hardwired. Ensure the rocker switch is in the 'Low' or 'High' position.
• Light not working: Verify the light bulb is securely screwed in and not burnt out. Replace the bulb if necessary (up to 75W incandescent).
• Reduced airflow or poor odor removal: Clean the aluminum grease filter. If using a non-ducted model, replace the charcoal filter. Ensure no obstructions in the ductwork (for ducted models).
