Page title, choosing the right extractor hood

With the kitchen increasingly becoming the focal point of family life, the ambiance is extremely important. The quality of the air in your kitchen is influenced by many things, including humidity, grease particles, dust, smells, smoke and waste heat. It is advisable therefore to ensure that "used" air is regularly cleaned and or replaced. By installing an extractor fan you can actively ventilate your kitchen, achieving appropriate ventilation whatever the weather or size and shape of the room.

Extractor Hood FAQs

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 hoods have an indicator to tell you when they need cleaning or replacing.
