There's a Neff extractor hood for every type of kitchen. Our powerful models work quietly
away in the background, efficiently extracting unwanted food smells.
Extraction or recirculation?
The best way to remove steam and odours is to extract the air out of the room through ducting. Unfortunately, if you live in an apartment or your hood's too far away from an outside wall, this may not be possible. In this case, the only alternative is to recirculate the air. Stale air is sucked through a grease filter and then a charcoal filter for purification, and then pumped back into the kitchen via an opening in the hood. The higher the extraction or circulation rate, the more efficient the hood.Efficiency
The most efficient way to extract is through ducted extraction. We advise that you use the largest ducting size possible so the largest volume of air is extracted. Maximum ducting length should be 5 metres, reducing by 1.2 metres for every 90° bend. You also need to ensure you provide for fresh air that needs to flow back into the kitchen. Take these small, but essential steps when installing your extractor hood and you can greatly improve, not only the extractor hood's extraction rate, but also drastically reduce the noise level of your extractor hood. Recirculation which passes the air through a series of filters and back into the room.Calculate your extraction rate

How do I stop the air from coming back into the room?
You need ducting with a wall outlet box and non return valve, which will stop the air returning. The larger the ducting, the less noise there'll be and the better the rate of extraction. We recommend at least 120mm diameter ducting (see accessories for ducting kits).

How can I get odours out more quickly?
Try switching on the extractor hood a few minutes before you start cooking. This starts to circulate air in the kitchen which will help remove the odours.

Do metal grease filters have to be changed?
They should be removed frequently for cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher. New grease and charcoal filters can be bought from a Neff dealer or our spares and accessories department - some h oods have an indicator to tell you when they need cleaning or replacing.
