New Broan® Elite Range Hoods Bring True Professional Style, Performance To Any Kitchen

Hartford, Wis., January 20, 2009 – Homeowners are finally able to achieve the professional kitchen of their dreams with the new Broan® Elite E64000 and E60000 series of range hoods. These hoods provide an out-of-the box solution that can easily transform any kitchen into a professional yet stylish cooking environment designed for culinary appreciation, according to Brian Wellnitz, Marketing Manager, Kitchen Ventilation, Broan-NuTone, Hartford, Wis.

"Designed to provide homeowners with the professional look they want with a modern twist, the new E64000 and E60000 models offer updated styling cues that today's homeowner requests, such as the rounded nose, the sophistication of the rotary controls and the most popular blowers with the hoods, making it easier for consumers to have a fresh, modern and professional look without compromising high performance," says Wellnitz.

The E64000 model is a 10" under-cabinet design that blends into any kitchen while the E60000 model allows homeowners to take their professional style desires to grand heights with its 18-inch wall-mount design. Both models are offered in a brushed stainless steel finish. Available in 30-, 36-, 42- and 48-inch widths and a 22-inch depth, the E64000 model comes standard with a 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM) internal blower. A 1,200 CFM blower is available in the 48-inch model. With a 24-inch depth, the 30- and 36-inch models of the E60000 range hood comes standard with 600 CFM internal blowers while the 42- and 48-inch models come standard with 1,200 CFM internal blowers. Additional ventilation options are available with several blower options ranging from 280 to 1,500 CFM, for both models in all widths.

"The Broan Elite 64000 and 60000 Range Hoods are two of the quietest range hoods in the industry, operating at two Sones or less at normal speed and have a unique combination of features that are more attractive than many of its competitors. Setting Broan apart from the competition is the Heat Sentry® feature, which monitors for excessive heat and automatically turns the unit on high when needed. This feature is offered on both models and ensures proper household ventilation and years of trouble free operation," says Wellnitz.

In those cases, when proper ventilation to the outdoors is not possible, a recirculation kit is available. Each range hood also features bright halogen lighting; pro-style, dishwasher-safe baffle filters with a removable grease drip rail; and variable speed controls. An optional pro-style backsplash is offered with the E64000 Series while a pro-style backsplash and decorative 12-inch soffit flue is offered with the E6000 Series, making the kitchen of tomorrow, a possibility today!
