The button control operation ensures ease of use, and it has an Energy Rating B with a Noise Rating of 70dB(A).
Key Features:
- 3 Speeds + Intensive Speed Function: Efficiently removes even the strongest odors.
- LED Lights: Provides bright, energy-efficient illumination for your hob area.
Island Hoods: Ideal for spacious open-plan kitchens with island units, helping to keep the area free of odors. Available in widths from 90cm to 120cm.
Ducting or Re-circulating: Most Smeg hoods offer the choice. Ducting out expels fumes outside using a vent kit (optional accessory, 150mm vent outlet). Re-circulating passes fumes through active charcoal filters (optional accessory) to clean the air before returning it to the room.
Automatic Switch Off: The extraction and lights can be set to turn off automatically after a predefined time, continuing to purify the air.
Intensive Extraction: A powerful intensive speed is available for rapid odor removal, perfect for strong cooking smells.
LED Lighting: Long-lasting, money-saving lights that perfectly illuminate the work surface. They can be used independently of the fan for ambient lighting.
