The durable hood vent is up to 20% more effective at removing pollutants than the leading competitor with power ventilation at 350 Max Blower CFM to capture and remove smoke and odors from the kitchen. The Glacier range hood is also up to 44% quieter: 1.5 sones is equivalent to a refrigerator running, so it won't interfere with daily life. The EZ1 Install System allows for a quick and easy 1-person installation, and the ENERGY STAR Certification is both code compliant and provides cost savings. The 2-Level LED lighting modules and a 3-Speed tap touch control make cooking a breeze.  At Broan-NuTone we believe that better quality of air means better quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 Points of Inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEZ1 Installation System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eENERGY STAR certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitle 24 compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHVI Certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20% More Effective\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003eTrust in the Broan-NuTone brand to more effectively remove pollutants in your kitchen than the leading competitor, with strong airflow at 350 Max Blower CFM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 44% Quieter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003eWith sound equivalent to a refrigerator running, this vent hood is up to 44% quieter than competition at 1.5 sones on working speed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicro Filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003eEasy-to-clean, fully enclosed bottom with 2 dishwasher-safe high efficiency micro filters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTap-Touch Controls\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003eThe seamless tap-touch controls are backlit and adjust the 3-speed blower and 2 level lighting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConvertible (Kit Sold Separately)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003eConvertible to accommodate either top or rear venting applications or non-ducted operation using charcoal filters, which are sold separately (Filter Model HPF30)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional Power Cord Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px\"\u003eRange hood is installed as hardwired or with an optional power cord kit (HCK44;
