The maximum extraction rate during normal use is 425 m³/h, but when using the booster, it reaches an impressive 695 m³/h, ensuring efficient removal of cooking odours, steam, and grease from the air.

The hood also features LED lighting, which not only enhances the visibility of your cooking space but is energy efficient, with an A-class rating for lighting performance. The two LED lamps (4W) provide ample illumination, ensuring you have a clear view of your hob while cooking.
The CDA EGA60BL also comes with practical features that ensure long-term reliability and easy maintenance. It includes a washable aluminium grease filter, which can be easily cleaned to maintain optimal performance. Although there is no grease alert, the filter’s washable design ensures that upkeep is straightforward. With a grease filter efficiency class of E and fluid dynamic class A, the hood balances performance with energy efficiency. Its energy consumption is rated at 59 kWh/year, contributing to an overall energy efficiency rating of A.
The hood comes with a chimney flue and is designed to be installed with a minimum distance of 45 cm from an electric hob or 65 cm from a gas hob. The duct size for air extraction is 150 mm, ensuring adequate airflow for both extraction and recirculation modes.
Overall, the CDA EGA60BL is an ideal choice for those looking for a stylish, powerful, and energy-efficient kitchen hood.
