It's amazing when a steak is sizzling in your pan, and the smell is part of an exciting cooking experience. But there are some kitchen odors nobody is too fond of.
First of all, it is important to know which cooker hoods are available and which one matches your own kitchen and needs. You should decide whether the extractor hood should be a visible design element or whether it should be integrated into the kitchen in a more discreet manner.
Choose from our four installation locations to showcase your stylish hood within your kitchen.
Depending on the structure of your kitchen and the location of the hob there are different solutions to integrate the hood the right way.
When choosing the optimal extractor hood, the question arises whether you want to use a recirculating air or an exhaust air system. Both systems have their own advantages.
Metal grease filter (also known as metal filters/ grease filters) - Clean cooking vapours from grease. They are used with extractor hoods in recirculation mode and also with exhaust air and are always part of the appliance.
Odor filters - They work in extractor hoods that are installed in recirculation mode and filter odors from the air. The NEFF Clean Air Plus filter does not only filter odors but also retains 99%of airborne pollen and deactivates allergens which are retained by the filter. In contrast to the exhaust air mode, the cleaned air stays in the kitchen.
How to replace cooker hood filter
Replace non-regenerable odor filters regularly. If your Neff hood has an odor filter saturation indication you will get a notification when to change them.
On average our standard odor filters should be exchanged every 6-12 months, our Clean Air Plus filters every 12-18 months.
You can get the filters in our online shop, from customer service or in specialist shops. The customer service addresses can be found in the service booklet enclosed with your device.
Regenerable activated charcoal filters, our Long Life filters should be regenerated every four months for two hours at 200° C in the oven. This removes all residues. If you carry out this regeneration process regularly, the activated carbon filter will last up to 10 years.
Cooker hood grease filter
Metal grease filters can be kept for years with regular cleaning without needing to be replaced. To ensure that they work optimally, clean the metal grease filters once a month or when indicated by the filter saturation indication. This prevents food residues from accumulating in the filter fabric. You can clean the filters in the dishwasher or by hand.
Almost all of our hoods can basically be converted to recirculation with these three filter technologies. Depending on your needs, a different recirculation set is recommended for conversion:
A recirculation set must be purchased separately as a special accessory for converting to recirculation mode.
Hoods features & functions
Looking for powerful extraction without distraction? Our advanced range of hoods have been designed for those who long for a premium look in the kitchen. Proud of its continuous innovations in cooker hoods, NEFF has a range of featured and functions to suit every cooking style.
Most of our hoods are exceptionally quiet thanks to our brushless Efficient Drive motor. However, noise is also determined by the length and type of ducting used and the installation surroundings. To provide a more meaningful measure of noise specific to the appliance, we state Sound Power in dB(A) re 1pW. With this system, there are strict guidelines for measuring the noise level, enabling you to easily compare our range and to give a closer indication of likely noise levels once the hood is installed.
In order to make values comparable, NEFF uses a standard measuring method according to the norm. The quietest extractor hood has a volume of only 38dB in minimum normal operation, and the quietest in maximum normal operation only 53 dB. To illustrate that: the noise level is always between a whisper and normal conversation volume.
This is how the exhaust pipe influences the volume
Whether an extractor hood is quiet depends not only on the selected model but also on the diameter and air flow of the exhaust pipe. The following rule applies to extractor hoods with exhaust air: the smaller the diameter of the exhaust air pipe, the louder the noise. We therefore recommend a pipe diameter of at least 120mm, better is even 150mm, in exhaust air mode.
It is important to pay attention to the correct height of the hood. A distance of 45cm should not be exceeded. Electric cooktops require a distance of between 45 and 65cm, depending on the type of extractor hood. For gas hobs, a distance or height of 65cm is the minimum distance to the extractor hood. The distance for ceiling hoods is 120cm.
