Cooker Hoods FAQs

See down below for our most frequently asked questions about cooker hoods.

What type of cooker hood is best for open-plan kitchens?
For open plan kitchens, an island cooker hood or a powerful chimney hood with high extraction rates is ideal. These models efficiently reduce steam, and odours while making a stylish focal point.
How do ducted and recirculating hoods differ?
Ducted cooker hoods expel air outside through ventilation ducts, providing the most effective removal of smoke and odors.
Recirculating hoods filter and purify air before returning it to the kitchen, perfect for homes without external venting options.
How much extraction power do I need for my cooker hood?
Extraction power depends on kitchen size and cooking habits. A cooker hood with an extraction rate of at least 5 to 10 times the kitchen’s air volume per hour is recommended for efficient ventilation.
Are energy-efficient cooker hoods available?
Certainly. Modern cooker hoods often feature energy-saving LED lighting and motors designed to use less electricity, combining effective ventilation with lower running costs.
How noisy are cooker hoods during operation?
Noise levels vary by model. Premium cooker hoods feature quiet motors to reduce sound, allowing for comfortable kitchen use even during heavy cooking.
What maintenance do cooker hoods require?
Proper cooker hood maintenance involves regularly cleaning grease filters to prevent build-up and maintain effective extraction. For recirculating cooker hoods, replacing carbon filters as recommended ensures continued odour removal.

Additionally, wiping down stainless steel and glass surfaces keeps your cooker hood looking sleek and prolongs its lifespan.
