Extraction performance and control
The hood provides three standard fan speeds alongside an intensive mode. Extraction is listed at 334 m³/h on minimum, 567 m³/h on maximum and up to 788 m³/h on intensive, giving it the flexibility to handle everyday ventilation as well as heavier cooking aromas.
Two control knobs keep operation simple, with separate control over the fan and lighting. Noise is specified at 49 dB(A) on minimum, 61 dB(A) on maximum and 69 dB(A) on intensive, so the most powerful setting is likely to be best reserved for short periods when rapid extraction is needed.
Installation flexibility
The Smeg KT90PE cooker hood supports both ducted and recirculating installation. Ducted operation uses a 150mm vent outlet, while recirculating installation returns filtered air to the room after passing it through charcoal filters.
Three aluminium anti-grease filters are specified, and charcoal filters are included. Buyers should still confirm the available space, duct route and required clearances before installation, particularly the stated 750mm minimum above a gas hob and 650mm above an electric hob.
Design, lighting and efficiency
The gloss cream finish, chimney format and Victoria styling give this hood a prominent retro character. It is designed as a visual feature above the hob rather than a concealed ventilation unit.
Two independently switchable 1W LED lights provide 3000K illumination over the cooking area. The hood is rated A for energy efficiency, fluid dynamic efficiency and lighting efficiency, with annual energy consumption specified at 59 kWh.
