Extraction performance and noise
This Novy 7642 cooker hood offers three fan speeds plus a power setting, reaching 620 m³/h at its highest continuous speed and 707 m³/h on boost. That gives it useful headroom for steam, smoke and cooking odours on a large island installation.
Low-speed operation is specified at 35 dB(A) sound power, while the highest standard speed is rated at 53 dB(A). Boost reaches 44 dB(A) sound pressure, so the hood should be most discreet when used at lower settings, with stronger ventilation bringing a corresponding increase in noise.
Design, lighting and controls
Its 900mm width, slim Flatline profile and Mineral Black finish give the hood a strong visual presence without a bulky appearance. Perimeter extraction supports the clean, uninterrupted styling around the extraction area.
Integrated 2700K LED lighting delivers warm illumination over the cooking surface, with an average stated illumination of 581 lux. Push-button controls are supplemented by Novy InTouch compatibility, while the 10-minute delayed switch-off and six-minute automatic power revert help simplify everyday use.
Installation and efficiency
The hood can be installed for duct-out extraction or adapted for recirculation using optional components. A 150mm duct outlet is specified, and the supplied reversible chimney supports recirculation installations, but the installation route should be confirmed before purchase.
An A+ energy rating, A lighting efficiency class and A fluid dynamic efficiency class indicate a strong efficiency profile for the main extraction and lighting systems. The stated grease-filtering efficiency is F, which is an important consideration for buyers who cook frequently or use the hood intensively.
