  • Innovative downdraft system compatible with virtually all self-contained cooktops. Sleek, trim styling complements any cooktop style or color. Automatically raises into position with the touch of a button. Disappears flush with cooktop surface.

    Space-saving design lets you make the most of precious, under-counter cabinet space. Infinitely adjustable speed control is flush with the side of the unit; inconspicuous, yet easy to reach and simple to use. Blower discharges right, left or down and slides side-to-side to ease installation (insufficient space for built-in ovens). Front access panel allows easy cleaning.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by We are very pleased with the Broan downdraft range ventilator This product does exactly what we expected it to do, was easy to install and is attractive to the eye without being obvious with it presents. February 20, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Downdraft We were shown this model by our salesperson, after a different sales person had tried to get us to buy an expensive GE Profile model. We compared stats and found this to be quite comparable, and several HUNDRED dollars cheaper . It has done everything we have wanted so far, and would recommend this to others February 20, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Broan downdraft ventilation system I had model 273003 for twenty years in my house. It is an outstanding product. I never had to have anything repaired on it. My cooktop was on an island and I did not want an overhead hood type exhaust. We are currently building a new home and I am definitely having the same system installed. Great Product. March 20, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Great hide away exhaust fan This item was exactly what I wanted. Stylish and futuristic while not compromising effectiveness. The telescoping fan works smoothly and quietly, and the fact that the blower is inclusive in this unit saved big dollars and installation work. It i not for the the novice do-it-yourselfer though. A proficiency in using tools, cutting and fitting a unit in place is a must. I recommend the average homeowner should probably hire a professional installer. But if like me you've installed dishwasher, windows, toilets, trash compactors and you want a rewarding and above average challenge, then go for it. My wife initially wanted an overhead exhaust and hood, but is very pleased I talked her into going with this over our island so as not to disturb the open feel of our kitchen. February 20, 2013

    The Eclipse by Broan in our kitchen stopped working properly. It will go up but it won't go back down. How do we repair this? How easy is it to replace this model?

    Answer: 
    The filters are in the air vent of this range hood.

    Remove them from the air vent by grasping the tab at the top of each filter. Wash the 2 aluminum grease filters in a mild detergent solution or a dishwasher.

    Note: The filters are different sizes. Be sure to replace them as removed, (wider one on the left), with tabs UP.

    Answer: 
    I have the same question: where are the filters and how to take them out. The answer said "The filters are in the air vent of this range hood." But I don't see them. Do I need to remove the cover from right end of air vent in order to see the filters? Can I see the filters through Chimney Assembly (Part # 19)? There must be something obvious that I missed. But I have been trying to find the filters for weeks!!!

    Please explain the primary differences in features between the Eclipse and the Elite systems.

    Also, the pictures don't clearly show where the controls are located so can you explain where they are?

    Answer: 
    The Elite RMDD is installed directly behind the cook top. Turn on by pressing down on the activating switch on top of the system. The air vent will rise. The blower can be turned ON or OFF and its speed can be adjusted with the recessed knob on the right side of the air vent.

    The 270000,28000 downdraft system is for cook tops in islands and peninsulas. Turn on by pressing down of the switch on top of the system. You can download the specs and install guide on www.broan.com

    Answer: 
    If it is the hood itself, use concentrated dish washing liquid. If it’s the filters, you can put them in the dish washer or soak them in a concentrated dish-washing liquid.
