A:AnswerThank you for your question regarding model number BCDF130SS. The non-ducted vents are located on the top of the hood at the front center. The non-ducted plate should be removed before installation to expose the vents for this type of installation.
A:AnswerThank you for your question on the BCDF130SS. This Range hood is designed to be installed as hardwired or with an optional power cord kit (SHCK44; sold separately).
A:AnswerThank you for your question on the BCSD130WW. This model was originally designed to use Halogen, Type MR16, GU10 base, 120V, 50 Watt bulbs. As the halogen bulbs are becoming increasingly harder to source, we have tested LED bulbs for compatibility. At this time, we have found LED, Type MR16, GU10 Base, 120 Volt, 4 Watt, 3000K, Dimmable bulbs will work with this unit.
A:AnswerThe HCK44 and the SHCK44 are the same. If purchasing the HCK44, you must order in multiples of 10 pcs. The SHCK44 is a Single pack (1 pc). So the only difference between the two model numbers is the way they are sold. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerThank you for reaching out to us. Yes, if you are installing the BCSD130BL and your project requires a non-ducted installation you must have an additional charcoal filter. This filter is used in addition to the aluminum filter. You will attach the non-ducted filters following instructions packed with the nonducted filters. The BCSD130BL uses the following non-duct filter: HPF30 (must order 3), or S97020466. The second part can be ordered through Best Buy, or on our web-site at sss.broan.com by scrolling down to the Parts Store.

A:AnswerThank you for your question on model BCSD130BL. This unit is designed to be hard wired into your home. However, if you need to convert it to a plug in unit, you can purchase the SHCK44 hood cord kit.
A:AnswerThank you for your question on model BCSQ130SS. This unit is designed to be hard wired into your home and does not include a cord. However, this is compatible with the HCK44 cord kit (sold separately) if you need to convert the unit for a plug in application.
A:AnswerIt is located at the very top of the unit, centered right above the smooth slanted front. It's covered by a metal plate held by three screws. The directions tell you to convert the unit to ductless by unscrewing the screws and taking off the plate, but if you don't read closely, you can easily miss it. I didn't notice it until after I had installed the fan.
A:AnswerI am fairly certain it can be used either way. We vented ours to the exterior however. We previously had a ductless one (not this brand) and they pretty much do nothing to keep kitchen smoke, grease and fumes at bay.
A:AnswerAfter reading your question I measured mine: it's 6 inches high. Not having a vent system in my cabinets is one reason I chose this hood. I am liking it for several reasons and everything on it works well! Glad I got it.
