Air-Pro (Formerly Fujioh) BUF03A Slim Ventilator Power Packs for Wood Hoods 390 CFM Centrifugal Sirroco Blower, Halogen Light and Dishwasher-safe Filter - Vmi, Inc. 03A SM

A Silver Metallic Ventilator Built to Disappear Inside a Wood Hood

This Air-Pro slim ventilator power pack is the mechanical heart of a wood range hood installation, providing the blower, light, and filter that handle the actual work of clearing the air above the cooktop. Its Silver Metallic finish coordinates naturally with the interior liner of a wood hood shell.

Key Features

• 390 CFM centrifugal Sirocco blower with three speeds to match ventilation output to the cooking task.
• Rated for cooktops up to 35,000 BTU/h, covering the range of most residential gas and electric ranges.
• Silver Metallic finish coordinates with standard hood liners for a cohesive interior look.
• Dishwasher-safe, silicon-coated filter sheds oily buildup and cleans in a standard dishwasher cycle.
• Integrated halogen light puts direct task lighting over the cooking surface.
• Slim-line profile at 9-3/4 inches tall fits tighter hood installations where depth is limited.

What This Unit Does and Where It Goes

A decorative wood hood shell frames the cooktop and defines the look, but it does not move air on its own. This power pack is the component that does. It installs inside a compatible wood hood and runs the blower that draws smoke, steam, and cooking odors up and through the duct. Three blower speeds give the range from quiet low-output use at 180 CFM to full 390 CFM on high when the burners are working hard. At 7 sones on high, the unit operates at a level typical of centrifugal ventilators in this class.

Finish, Form Factor, and Filter

The Silver Metallic finish on this power pack is designed to sit inside the liner of a wood hood shell, where it will be partially or fully enclosed rather than on display. That said, a finish that reads cleanly against the liner interior keeps the installation looking intentional even from below. The slim-line body measures 23-1/2 inches wide by 10-5/8 inches deep and 9-3/4 inches tall, which allows it to fit hood configurations where a deeper unit would not. The dishwasher-safe filter is silicon-coated to resist oily grease buildup between cleanings, so maintenance stays simple. The halogen light is integrated into the unit, delivering direct illumination over the cooking surface without a separate fixture.

Who Specifies This Unit

Cabinet shops and designers specifying a wood hood installation where the shell and liner are already selected will reach for this power pack when the cooktop runs up to 35,000 BTU/h and the hood configuration has space constraints that favor a slimmer unit. The Silver Metallic finish is a natural fit for installations using a silver or metallic liner. For higher-output commercial-style cooktops above 35,000 BTU/h, a higher-CFM unit should be specified instead. Homeowners retrofitting an existing wood hood will want to confirm the interior liner dimensions match this unit's footprint before ordering.

Ventilation That Fits the Hood and the Cooktop

Specify this slim power pack when the wood hood installation calls for a Silver Metallic unit that fits a space-constrained interior, covers a cooktop up to 35,000 BTU/h, and keeps filter maintenance simple with a dishwasher-safe design.
