The AEG GDG961AB 9000 Series 105cm Canopy Hood is a highly efficient and stylish kitchen appliance, designed to offer exceptional extraction capabilities while enhancing the overall aesthetics of your kitchen. With its sleek black glass finish, this canopy hood is a statement piece that not only complements modern kitchen designs but also ensures that your cooking environment remains free from smoke, odours, and grease. Measuring 99.2 cm in width, it is designed to be installed above your cooking area, making it suitable for larger kitchen setups where efficient ventilation is required.
This canopy hood features three adjustable speed settings, allowing you to tailor the extraction power according to your cooking needs. For particularly smoky or odorous cooking, the booster setting comes into play, delivering an impressive extraction rate of up to 730 m³/h. In normal use, the extraction rate reaches a maximum of 400 m³/h, which is more than sufficient for everyday cooking tasks. This flexibility ensures that whether you're simmering gently or frying something more intense, the AEG GDG961AB will keep the air in your kitchen clean and fresh.
Despite its powerful extraction capabilities, the AEG GDG961AB is designed with noise control in mind. In normal use, the maximum noise level reaches just 54 dB, ensuring that it won’t disrupt the ambiance of your kitchen. Even when using the booster function, which ramps up the extraction rate, the noise level only increases to a moderate 67 dB. This makes it ideal for open-plan living spaces where you don’t want the noise from your appliances to dominate the environment.
Energy efficiency is another key benefit of the AEG GDG961AB. With an A++ energy rating, this canopy hood ensures that you’re not only getting powerful performance but also saving on energy consumption. It has an annual energy consumption of just 28 kWh/year, making it a cost-effective choice for the long term. This energy efficiency is complemented by the LED lighting that is integrated into the design. The two LED lamps, rated at 10.9 W, offer excellent visibility over your cooking area while also being energy-efficient. With a lighting class of A, you can be assured that the lighting will provide the right amount of brightness without adding significantly to your energy usage.
One of the standout features of the AEG GDG961AB is its washable grease filter. The appliance is fitted with aluminium grease filters that can be easily removed and washed, ensuring that the hood maintains peak performance without the need for frequent replacements. Additionally, the hood is equipped with a grease alert, which notifies you when the filters need cleaning, making maintenance hassle-free. The intensive speed function is another useful feature, which allows you to quickly clear the air when necessary, perfect for when you’re cooking particularly pungent dishes.
The AEG GDG961AB is also versatile in terms of installation, as it can be used in both air extraction and recirculation modes. This makes it suitable for a variety of kitchen setups. If you choose the recirculation mode, the hood can be equipped with an optional charcoal filter for enhanced performance. The duct size is 150 mm, and it comes with both aluminium grease and charcoal filters as standard accessories. For those who want to extend the life of the filter, an optional long-life filter (MCFB83) is available.
With its blend of performance, efficiency, and elegant design, the AEG GDG961AB canopy hood is an excellent addition to any kitchen, offering both practicality and style in equal measure.
