Extraction and everyday performance
The Smeg KV28N cooker hood provides three standard fan speeds plus an intensive mode. Its extraction rate rises from 242 m³/h at minimum speed to 420 m³/h at maximum, with a 666 m³/h boost for heavier cooking demands.
Perimeter extraction is intended to improve fume capture and reduce filter vibration. Noise is rated at 44 dB(A) on the lowest setting and 58 dB(A) at maximum, while intensive operation reaches 67 dB(A).
Installation, controls and lighting
This cooker hood supports both ducted and recirculating installation. Its 150mm vent outlet is suited to compatible external ducting, while supplied charcoal filters make recirculating use more straightforward.
Back-lit touch controls operate the fan and lighting, and the two LED lights can be used independently of the extractor. Their dimming function allows the illumination level to be adjusted for cooking or ambient use.
Efficiency and maintenance features
The hood has an A energy-efficiency rating, along with A ratings for fluid dynamic and lighting efficiency. Stated annual energy consumption is 49 kWh.
A filter replacement indicator helps signal maintenance needs. The 24-hour air filter function and automatic switch-off settings add further convenience when managing kitchen air after cooking.
