Broan-NuTone LB36SS 36-in Stainless Steel Range Liner - Clean Finish

Our review of the Broan-NuTone LB36SS range liner finds it ideal for homeowners finishing a custom range hood who want a durable, easy-to-clean interior surface. The liner's stainless steel finish and hemmed edges deliver a neat, professional look while protecting cabinetry from grease and heat. Installation is straightforward thanks to pre-drilled holes, and the 4 in depth improves capture over shallow liners. For anyone adding a power pack insert from the same brand, this liner is a practical, attractive complement that focuses on protection and appearance rather than advanced ventilation features.

Key Features

• Stainless steel finish: Provides a wipe-clean surface that resists staining and keeps maintenance simple.
• Compatibility: Designed to fit with Broan-NuTone PM390SSP and PM250SSP power pack inserts for a seamless installation.
• Hemmed edges: Hide exposed metal and create a finished, decorator-friendly appearance inside a custom hood.
• 4 in depth: Improves capture of cooking effluent compared with shallower liners, helping protect cabinets and surfaces.
• Pre-drilled mounting holes: Simplify installation into 18 in deep custom hoods or cabinet bottoms.

Who It's For

This liner suits homeowners or remodelers building a custom range hood who want a clean, protective interior surface that matches stainless appliances. It is especially useful for users installing a Broan-NuTone power pack insert who prefer a coordinated, professional look.

It is not aimed at buyers seeking an all-in-one ventilation solution or those who need deeper capture than 4 in. If you need a full replacement hood or higher airflow engineering, consider a complete hood system rather than just a liner.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Attractive stainless finish improves the aesthetic of a custom hood and is simple to wipe clean.

• Hemmed edges and pre-drilled holes reduce visible seams and ease mounting.

Cons

• Box shape and 4 in depth are functional but not a substitute for a purpose-built hood with greater airflow or features.
• Designed specifically for certain power pack inserts, so compatibility is limited to those models.
