Canopy Hood FAQ's

What is a canopy cooker hood?

A canopy cooker hood is a type of extractor fan designed to be built into a kitchen unit or chimney breast. It's discreetly concealed, offering a seamless look while effectively removing cooking odours and steam.

How does a canopy cooker hood work?

It operates by drawing in the air from the cooking area, passing it through a filter to remove grease and odours, and then either expelling the cleaned air outside the property or recycling it back into the kitchen.

Do I need external venting for my canopy cooker hood?

Not necessarily. Canopy cooker hoods can operate in two modes: ducted (external venting) or recirculating. Ducted hoods expel the air outside, whereas recirculating hoods clean the air and return it to the kitchen.

How often should I replace or clean the filters?

For metal grease filters, it's recommended to clean them every 2-4 weeks depending on usage. Charcoal filters, used in recirculating hoods, typically need replacement every 3-6 months.

How do I measure for a canopy cooker hood?

Measure the width of your hob and ensure the cooker hood is of the same width or slightly wider. Also, ensure there's enough depth in the canopy or unit where the hood will be installed.

How noisy is a canopy cooker hood?

Noise levels vary among models, but on average, they range from 60-70 dB. It's comparable to a conversation in a restaurant or background music. Some models rely on an external motor which can often reduce noise levels.

What's the difference between a canopy hood and other types of cooker hoods?

The primary difference is design and installation. Canopy hoods are integrated into cabinets for a flush look, while others like chimney or island hoods are more prominent and act as focal points.

Are there energy-efficient canopy cooker hoods?

Yes, many modern canopy cooker hoods come with energy-efficient motors and LED lighting, which reduces electricity consumption.

Do canopy cooker hoods come with lights?

Most models come equipped with lighting, typically LED, to illuminate the cooking area, providing better visibility while preparing meals.

How do I maintain my canopy cooker hood?

Regularly clean the metal grease filters, replace charcoal filters as needed, and wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to keep it looking its best. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific care details.
