Description & Features
The Broan BU230BL under-cabinet range hood is a smart, budget-friendly ventilation solution designed to quietly improve the air quality in your kitchen while blending seamlessly with a wide variety of cooking appliances. Built in a versatile 30-inch width, it offers ample coverage over most standard cooktops, and its slim under-cabinet profile makes it an ideal choice for both renovations and new installations where space and clean lines matter. Behind its simple, contemporary black finish is a dependable blower system that delivers up to 230 Max CFM of ventilation power, efficiently drawing out smoke, steam and lingering cooking odors to help keep your kitchen fresher and more comfortable for everyday cooking and occasional high-heat searing alike. One of the standout advantages of the BU230BL is its four-way convertible design, which allows you to install it in horizontal or vertical ducted configurations, connect to a round duct, or set it up as a non-ducted recirculating hood with an optional charcoal filter; this flexibility makes it easier to match existing ductwork or adapt to challenging layouts without compromising performance. Another key benefit is the straightforward 2-speed rocker control system, which gives you simple, reliable operation for both fan and lighting—no complicated electronics, just intuitive switches that are easy for every member of the household to use and clean. Illumination is handled by a single, centrally positioned light designed for up to a 75-watt bulb, providing bright, direct lighting over your cooking surface so you can better monitor food color, texture and doneness. To keep maintenance low, the Broan BU230BL includes a standard-efficiency aluminum mesh grease filter that is easy to remove, wash and reinstall, helping maintain airflow and capture efficiency over years of use. With its combination of convertible venting options, practical 2-speed control, bright cooktop lighting and a width tailored to the most common range sizes, this model delivers a strong mix of value and everyday functionality, making it a solid choice for homeowners, landlords and light-duty kitchen remodels looking for dependable performance without unnecessary extras.

Broan® BU2 Series design – part of Broan’s BU2 economy series, offering reliable, budget‑friendly under‑cabinet ventilation for everyday cooking.
HVI Certified performance – independently tested to meet HVI standards so stated airflow and sound levels are verified for real‑world kitchen use.

Four‑way convertible ventilation – installs as horizontal, vertical, 6" round (with transition) or non‑ducted to suit a wide variety of kitchen layouts and existing ductwork.
Convertible ducted / non‑ducted operation – can be vented outdoors or used in recirculating mode when exterior ducting is not practical.
160–210 Max CFM airflow (model‑dependent) – provides effective capture of smoke, steam and cooking odours for standard residential ranges.
Standard 30" under‑cabinet width – fits most 30‑inch cooktops and ranges, ideal for typical North American kitchen cabinetry.
Low‑profile 6" height – slim design maximizes headroom over the cooktop and fits under shallow cabinets.
Black finish – neutral black colour coordinates with a wide range of black and stainless kitchen appliances.

2‑speed rocker control – simple, durable rocker switch lets you quickly choose between low and high fan speeds.
Dedicated light rocker switch – separate rocker control for the light allows you to use the hood lighting independently of the fan.
Standard 2‑speed blower – offers a quiet low setting for everyday simmering and a higher setting for frying or boiling.

Designed for 75 W max bulb – accepts up to a 75‑watt (incandescent or LED equivalent) bulb for bright cooktop illumination (bulb not included).
1‑level direct lighting – single lighting level provides focused light directly over the cooking surface for better visibility.

Aluminum mesh grease filter – standard‑efficiency aluminum filter captures grease particles to help keep cabinets and kitchen surfaces cleaner.
Easy‑clean removable filter – filter can be removed quickly for hand‑washing, simplifying routine maintenance.
Optional charcoal filter (41F) for recirculation – accepts an add‑on charcoal filter to help reduce odours when installed in non‑ducted mode.

Convertible 3¼" x 10" rectangular ducting – supports both vertical and horizontal rectangular duct connections for flexible installation.
Optional 6" round duct transition (model 411) – accessory transition piece allows connection to common 6‑inch round ducting.
Optional 7" round damper (BP87Q) – compatible accessory damper helps prevent backdrafts when using 7‑inch round duct.
Optional 7" round adapter plate (SR680508) – adapter plate simplifies connection to certain round duct configurations.

Contemporary styling – clean, simple lines complement both traditional and modern kitchen designs.
Available in multiple widths – BU2 series is offered in 24" and 30" widths, making it easier to match different cabinet sizes (this model is 30").

Standard 120 V, 60 Hz connection – plugs into typical North American household electrical systems (hardwire or cord kit, depending on installation).
Approx. 2.5 A current draw – modest electrical load that works with standard kitchen circuits.

Noise level around 6.5 sones on high – delivers strong ventilation with sound levels typical for economy under‑cabinet hoods.
Minimum 18" clearance above cooktop – designed to install within common 18"–24" height ranges above the cooking surface.

Under‑cabinet installation – mounts directly to the underside of wall cabinets, saving space and keeping sightlines open.
Standard 17.5" depth – sized to align with most 12"–13" deep upper cabinets while providing good coverage over the front burners.

Durable steel construction – metal body provides long‑lasting strength and resists warping or discoloration from cooking heat.
Hemmed edges and smooth surfaces – finished edges and smooth undersides improve safety and make wiping down the hood easier.

Non‑ducted recirculation capable – when used with charcoal filters, recirculates filtered air back into the kitchen where exterior venting is not available.
Helps reduce smoke and odours – draws cooking by‑products away from the cooktop to improve indoor air quality and comfort.
Helps protect cabinets and walls – captures grease and moisture to reduce staining and buildup on surrounding surfaces.

Economy category value – offers essential ventilation features at an accessible price point for budget‑conscious renovations or rental properties.
1‑year limited parts and labour warranty – manufacturer warranty coverage provides peace of mind after installation.
