An under-cabinet hood with modern controls
The LUMIFARO Baby-Pro II 24232 is an under-cabinet range hood designed to be fastened under the upper cabinet above a 30" range. It keeps the familiar, space-saving format of the most common kitchen hood fan in Canadian homes, but adds a 3-speed electronic control panel with an LCD clock, a handy detail in any kitchen. The stainless steel finish gives the space a clean, contemporary look and matches most appliances.
Airflow and noise level
The blower delivers 390 CFM, well suited to everyday family cooking. Choose low speed at 0.7 sones for simmering and quiet evenings, or high speed at 9.0 sones when you sear, fry or boil a big pot of pasta and need to clear steam quickly. Good ventilation also protects cabinets, walls and ceilings from grease buildup and keeps cooking odours from spreading through the house.
Stainless steel filters and LED lighting
The included stainless steel filters trap grease before it reaches the duct; they are sturdy and simple to remove for regular cleaning, a real plus for anyone looking for low-maintenance range hood filters. Two 5W LED bulbs are included and light the entire cooking surface while using far less energy than old halogen bulbs.
Rear or top venting
The rear or top rectangular vent gives you two options. If the existing duct goes up through the cabinet, use the top outlet; if it goes straight through the exterior wall behind the stove, use the rear outlet. This flexibility often simplifies replacing an old hood and limits changes to existing ductwork.
Installation tips
Connect and test the hood before final installation. Remove the protective adhesive strip on the exhaust flaps, never install the duct so tightly that the flaps cannot open, and use duct tape rather than screws on the hood outlet. To check the flaps, run the hood for 30 seconds, turn it off, and after 2 or 3 seconds you should hear them close one after the other. Installation by a qualified installer is recommended; problems caused by improper installation are not covered by the warranty (residential use: 1 year parts and labour, then 2 years parts only). The spec sheet is available in the Documentation tab.
