Broan

EW46

• Broan® Elite EW46 Series design – premium Broan® Elite EW46 Series curved-glass chimney range hood creates a high‑end focal point while delivering reliable kitchen ventilation performance.

• Quiet 460 Max Blower CFM performance – powerful internal blower delivers up to 460 Max CFM to quickly clear smoke, steam and cooking odors from the cooktop area.

• Best‑in‑class low noise levels – operates at approximately 7.5 sones on high and as low as 1.5 sones at normal speed, helping maintain a more comfortable, quieter kitchen environment.

• HVI certified airflow and sound – performance ratings are verified by the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI), giving confidence that published CFM and sound levels are independently tested.

• 3‑speed blower control – three distinct fan speeds let you match ventilation power to your cooking task, from gentle simmering to high‑heat searing.

• Tap‑touch capacitive controls – smooth, flat capacitive touch panel provides simple, modern control of fan speeds and lighting while remaining easy to wipe clean.

• Bright 2‑level LED lighting – integrated LED module offers two brightness levels to illuminate the cooking surface clearly for food prep and monitoring.

• Energy‑efficient LED module – long‑life 7 W LED module (around 3000K color temperature) delivers up to about 600 lumens of light with low energy consumption and minimal heat output.

• Curved glass canopy styling – elegant, gently curved glass canopy paired with stainless steel chimney adds a contemporary, open feel and visually enlarges the cooking area.

• Wall‑mounted chimney configuration – designed for installation on the wall above a standard cooking surface, providing effective capture of rising smoke and vapors.

• Convertible ducted / non‑ducted ventilation – supports traditional ducted venting to the outdoors or optional non‑ducted recirculation when exterior venting is not feasible.

• Optional non‑duct recirculation kit – compatible with optional ARKEW46 kit (purchased separately) that includes components and filter for indoor air recirculation installations.

• Optional non‑duct replacement filters – accepts dedicated non‑duct replacement filters (sold separately) to help maintain effective odor reduction in recirculating setups.

• CRT airflow reduction capability – CRT feature allows airflow to be reduced to 300 CFM to help meet local building codes or make‑up air requirements where lower maximum CFM is mandated.

• 10‑minute delay‑off timer – selectable delay‑off function keeps the fan running for about 10 minutes after cooking to clear residual smoke and odors automatically.

• Dishwasher‑safe deluxe aluminum filters – multi‑layer aluminum mesh filters capture grease effectively and can be removed and cleaned in a standard dishwasher for easy maintenance.

• Quick‑release filter latches – integrated quick‑release mechanism lets you remove filters without tools, simplifying routine cleaning and filter access.

• 6" round vertical duct connection – standard 6‑inch round vertical duct outlet simplifies connection to common residential ductwork for efficient airflow.

• Convertible ventilation type – supports both fully ducted operation for maximum odor and moisture removal and non‑ducted recirculation when ducting is not available.

• Aluminum filter construction – durable, lightweight aluminum filters resist corrosion and provide long‑term performance under typical cooking conditions.

• 3‑speed motor system – internal motor offers three distinct speed settings to balance noise and performance based on cooking intensity.

• Wide capture area – canopy design extends over the cooking surface to help capture rising smoke and steam before they can spread into the kitchen.

• Recommended mounting height range – designed to be installed with the bottom of the hood approximately 24"–30" above the cooking surface for optimal capture efficiency.

• Telescopic flue for 8'–9' ceilings – adjustable chimney sections accommodate standard 8‑ to 9‑foot ceiling heights in most kitchens without additional parts.

• Optional flue extension for taller ceilings – compatible with optional AEEW46SS flue extension (purchased separately) to fit ceiling heights up to about 10 feet.

• 30" and 36" width options – available in common 30‑inch and 36‑inch widths to match standard cooktops and ranges and provide proper coverage.

• Stainless steel finish – brushed stainless steel body resists fingerprints better than polished surfaces and coordinates with a wide range of modern appliances.

• Wall‑mount range hood type – engineered specifically for wall installation rather than under‑cabinet mounting, ideal for open‑wall or chimney‑style kitchen layouts.

• Convertible ventilation (both ducted and non‑ducted) – flexibility to install as a fully vented system or as a recirculating hood depending on home layout and building constraints.

• Capacitive touch switch control type – electronic touch interface replaces mechanical switches, reducing crevices where grease and dirt can accumulate.

• Two‑level lighting control – separate high and low light settings allow you to choose bright task lighting or softer ambient illumination.

• Included LED light module – comes with the required LED module in the box, eliminating the need to purchase separate bulbs at installation.

• Dual filter configuration – two separate filters span the width of the hood to maximize grease capture across the entire cooking surface.

• Vertical duct direction – vents vertically through the ceiling, simplifying routing in many wall‑mount chimney installations.

• Round duct shape – round duct connection promotes smoother airflow and can reduce static pressure compared with equivalent rectangular runs.

• Included installation hardware – ships with necessary mounting brackets and basic hardware to streamline professional or experienced DIY installation.

• Non‑ducted recirculation capable – can be configured to filter and recirculate air back into the kitchen when exterior venting is not possible, with appropriate filters.

• Quiet low‑speed operation – low fan setting provides gentle, quiet background ventilation suitable for everyday light cooking.

• High‑speed boost for heavy cooking – high fan setting delivers maximum airflow to handle frying, grilling, or high‑heat cooking that produces more smoke and odors.

• Improved indoor air quality – continuous removal of airborne grease, smoke and odors helps keep kitchen air fresher and reduces residue on cabinets and surfaces.

• Helps protect cabinetry and finishes – effective grease and moisture capture reduces buildup on nearby cabinets, walls and ceilings, helping preserve finishes over time.

• Modern, minimal control panel look – low‑profile touch controls and clean lines complement contemporary kitchen designs without visual clutter.

• Compatible with standard 120 V household power – operates on typical 120‑volt, 60 Hz electrical service, simplifying electrical planning.

• Low current draw – modest amperage requirement (around 1.6 A) helps minimize electrical load on existing kitchen circuits.

• One‑year limited manufacturer warranty – backed by a limited warranty period that provides repair or replacement coverage against manufacturing defects.

• Non‑ENERGY STAR design – prioritizes strong ventilation performance and lighting over ENERGY STAR certification, suitable where maximum airflow is desired.

• Stationary wall‑mount positioning – fixed installation above the cooktop ensures consistent capture area and stable operation.

• Proposition 65 warning labeling – includes appropriate California Proposition 65 warnings for consumer information and regulatory compliance.
