Powerful extraction in a discreet format
This Novy 686 cooker hood is designed to disappear into a shallow wall cabinet when closed, while its tilting white-glass flap helps direct cooking fumes towards the extraction area. Three fan speeds cover everyday cooking, and the Qboost setting increases airflow to 635 m³/h for more intensive use.
The supplied information gives sound power levels of 40 dB(A) at speed 1, 51 dB(A) at speed 2 and 58 dB(A) at speed 3. An integrated sound absorber is also specified, although extraction noise will depend on the installation and ducting arrangement.
Flexible controls and lighting
Touch controls provide access to the three fan speeds and power setting. The automatic power revert function returns the hood from Qboost after six minutes, while delayed switch-off keeps extraction running for a further 10 minutes after cooking.
The dimmable 3000K LED strip delivers warm, adjustable illumination across the hob, with an average stated illumination of 648 lux. Cleaning indicators for the grease and recirculation filters help support routine maintenance.
Installation and efficiency
This cooker hood is supplied for ducted extraction through a 150mm top-rear outlet, with optional recirculation available through a compatible Novy Monoblock filter. The 805 x 265mm cut-out and minimum 805mm cabinet width are important installation checks before purchase.
The hood carries A energy, A fluid dynamic and B grease filtering efficiency classes. Its stated 125.6W connected load and efficient LED lighting support the product’s focus on effective extraction with controlled energy use.
