| I am renovating my kitchen and I plan to keep my gas range, GE Model # JGBP88SEK3SS, 30" standard size. The power burner is 16,000 BTU's and the sum of all 5 burners is 47,000 BTU's. I do not see any reference in the manual regarding the appropriate CFM's for venting. What is appropriate? 470 CFM?
I currently have this range installed with an over the range microwave that recirculates the air (via a loud fan) and makes the room very hot. In the renovation, I plan to get a wood mantle hood and I must order an internal vent that will be installed on an outside wall and vent to the outside. Can you recommend a quite fan that is appropriate for my gas range and / or give me some info on websites that rate these types of vents. Thank You. |

| Yes,rule of thumb(not code) is 470 cfm In the link is the least expensive "good" cabinet insert. It comes with a 600cfm blower. $746.10 Made from 420 SS. The less expensive somewhat more likely SS to rust. |

| Below is the best cabinet insert. $1004 Made from 304 SS. The better more expensive SS used in appliances. Also 600cfm blower in wider 34" for wider 36 hood. Both Best and Prestige come in either 28" or 34" size. If you have the space go for the 36" hood with 34" insert. |

| Thank you Deeageauz. Silly me, I didn't realize they were so pricey. |

| There are many wood hood ventilators available they do not need to be stainless. Here is a manufacturer that sells both stainless and silver painted inserts. I have not found Broan to be the best. It takes additional work to get them to fit anything. This manufacturer will not sell direct to retail but they will guide you to a selection and sell to your installer or cabinetmaker. The cabinetmaker has to stain or paint the hood. |
