EXTERIOR BLOWER SELECTION

This product is designed for use with the EB6, EB9, EB12 or EB15 Exterior Ventilators.

INSTALL THE DUCTWORK

NOTE: To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

1.Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.

2.A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.

3.Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.

4.Install the exterior blower. Connect round metal ductwork to exterior blower and work back towards hood location. Use duct tape to seal the joints between ductwork sections.

5.An 8” round to 10” round duct adapter (Model 414) is required. Install adapter as close to hood as possible.

The Broan IEX170 range hood is a testament to modern kitchen ventilation technology, designed to seamlessly blend performance with aesthetics. This unit is perfect for those who value both style and efficiency in their cooking environment.

One of the standout features of the Broan IEX170 is its powerful 600 CFM blower. This ensures that even during the most intense cooking sessions, smoke, steam, and odors are effectively removed from the kitchen, allowing you to maintain a fresh atmosphere. The blower operates quietly, making this model ideal for open-concept kitchens where noise levels need to be kept to a minimum.

The IEX170 also incorporates advanced LED lighting. These energy-efficient lights illuminate your cooking surface beautifully, providing ample visibility while you prepare meals. The LED bulbs have a longer life span compared to traditional lighting, reducing the need for frequent replacements and contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the unit.

In terms of design, the Broan IEX170 is sleek and modern, available in stainless steel finishes that complement a wide range of kitchen decors. Its low-profile design allows it to fit seamlessly under cabinets, making it an aesthetically pleasing addition to any kitchen setup.

Another significant characteristic of the IEX170 is its dishwasher-safe stainless steel filters. These filters are effective at trapping grease and can be easily cleaned, ensuring that the range hood maintains its performance over time. The easy maintenance is a notable feature for users who desire convenience without compromising on cleanliness.

The Broan IEX170 is also designed with an optional make-up air kit. This is particularly beneficial for high-capacity ventilation systems, as it helps balance air pressure in the kitchen, promoting a comfortable cooking environment.

In summary, the Broan IEX170 range hood stands out with its combination of high-performance CFM, quiet operation, LED lighting, sleek design, user-friendly controls, and easy maintenance features. This model is a fantastic choice for homeowners looking to enhance their kitchen experience while keeping the environment fresh and inviting.
