Extraction performance and controls
The hood offers three standard extraction levels plus a booster setting. In extraction mode, the stated airflow reaches 395 m³/h at Level 3 and up to 650 m³/h on Booster, giving it useful headroom for heavier cooking. A programmable booster switch-off helps prevent the highest setting being left running unnecessarily.
Light-touch EasySwitch controls with LED indicators should make everyday adjustment uncomplicated. The inclusion of a safety switch-off adds reassurance during regular use.
Lighting and efficiency
Integrated LED lighting provides 330 lx of hob illumination with a 3,000 K colour temperature. This should give the cooking area useful, focused light while keeping energy use modest.
The A energy rating and stated annual consumption of 47.0 kWh/year make efficiency one of the product's stronger points. The available information also assigns A ratings to fluid dynamic and lighting efficiency.
Cleaning and installation
Two 10-ply stainless-steel grease filters can be placed in a dishwasher, reducing the effort involved in routine maintenance. The CleanCover interior is designed to make wiping the canopy easier and helps protect internal components.
The 598 mm canopy is intended for 60cm installations and includes a telescopic chimney. Top and rear extraction connections provide flexibility, while the stated minimum clearances above electric and gas hobs should be checked carefully before fitting.
Noise and operating modes
Noise levels are relatively restrained at the lower extraction settings, with stated sound power of 47 dB(A) at Level 1 and 56 dB(A) at Level 3. Booster rises to 67 dB(A), so maximum extraction is best reserved for when it is needed.
Recirculation is louder across the range, reaching 71 dB(A) on Booster. Buyers choosing recirculation should therefore weigh the installation convenience against the higher stated noise levels and confirm that the required setup is suitable for their kitchen.
