Bertazzoni KIN48XT 48-Inch Built-In Hood
KIN48XT is a 48-inch built-in insert hood, with two motors and a maximum extraction power of 1200 CFM. Noise output spans 2.48 to 9.8 Sones depending on the speed. It goes into a custom surround above a 48-inch range, where it covers the entire cooking width.
A hood of this size works its filters hard. When the outer burners start to leave a haze, we begin with the filter set, then check that both motors reach speed. Next we inspect each wheel for grease, since a coating builds unevenly and sets up vibration. The lamps and controls are the last stop. We also look for loose brackets inside the surround, where vibration can hide.
We price the repair in writing before starting and cover it with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Yes, the 1200 CFM rating assumes both motors working together. If one stops, capture drops sharply, so a repair is worth doing soon. We test each motor and its wiring to find the cause.
High speed magnifies any imbalance in the wheels or looseness in the housing. Grease on one wheel is the most frequent cause. We clean both wheels, tighten the hardware, and listen again at each speed.
It can. Heavy grease makes the motors strain and adds turbulence, which raises the sound. After a thorough cleaning, many owners notice the hood runs closer to its normal 2.48 Sone low end.
