A kitchen hood helps remove smoke, steam, grease, and cooking odours while you prepare everyday meals, keeping your kitchen more comfortable and easier to maintain.
Zanussi offers chimney, island, and built-in kitchen hoods to suit different kitchen layouts and cooking spaces. Explore the range to find the right size and installation style for your home.
A kitchen hood, also known as a cooker hood or extractor hood, is installed above your hob to capture smoke, steam, cooking odours, and airborne grease.
By removing these from the cooking area, a kitchen hood can help reduce grease buildup on walls and cabinets while keeping the kitchen air fresher.
A kitchen hood can make everyday cooking more comfortable by:
The best kitchen hood depends largely on your kitchen layout, hob position, and available installation space.
A chimney kitchen hood is mounted on the wall above the hob and features a visible chimney-style structure.
It is a good choice for medium to large kitchens with a wall-mounted cooking area and for households looking for effective extraction combined with a modern kitchen design.
An island kitchen hood is suspended from the ceiling above a hob positioned on a kitchen island.
This type is designed for open-plan kitchens or larger cooking spaces where the hob is not positioned against a wall. It can also become a prominent design feature in the kitchen.
A built-in kitchen hood is installed directly inside or underneath kitchen cabinetry, keeping most of the appliance hidden from view.
Its space-saving design makes it particularly suitable for smaller kitchens or households that prefer a clean, integrated kitchen appearance.
Kitchen setup | Recommended kitchen hood |
Compact kitchen or limited cabinet space | Built-in kitchen hood |
Medium to large kitchen with wall-mounted hob | Chimney kitchen hood |
Open-plan kitchen with island hob | Island kitchen hood |
Kitchen without external ventilation | Check for a compatible recirculating hood |
Kitchen hoods are available in different widths to match common hob sizes.
Consider how frequently you cook, your kitchen size, and the amount of smoke or steam your cooking normally produces. More intensive cooking may require stronger extraction performance.
Choose a kitchen hood that matches the width of your hob and works with your kitchen layout. Also consider whether you need a wall-mounted, island, or built-in installation.
Kitchen hoods become louder at higher fan speeds. If you have an open-plan kitchen or cook frequently, check the operating noise when comparing models.
Multiple speed settings allow you to adjust extraction depending on what you are cooking, from light simmering to frying and other high-smoke cooking.
Grease filters capture airborne grease before it settles on kitchen surfaces. Look for filters that are easy to remove and clean to simplify regular maintenance.
Accessible controls make it easier to change extraction speed while cooking. Choose controls that are straightforward and convenient for everyday use.
Zanussi kitchen hoods combine reliable extraction performance, practical design, and easy everyday operation to help keep your cooking space fresher and more comfortable.

A chimney hood is mounted visibly on the wall above the hob, while a built-in hood is integrated into kitchen cabinetry for a more discreet, space-saving appearance.
Choose a kitchen hood that is at least similar in width to your hob. A 60cm hood generally works well with a 60cm hob, while larger cooking areas may require a wider hood.
Cleaning frequency depends on how often and what you cook. Check the filter regularly and clean it when grease begins to build up. Always follow the cleaning instructions provided for your specific model.
A ducted hood sends extracted air outside through ventilation ducting. A recirculating hood filters the air before releasing it back into the kitchen.
Clean the grease filter regularly, keep the hood surfaces free from grease buildup, and use the appropriate fan speed for your cooking. Follow the product manual for maintenance and filter replacement guidance.
