AEG Cooker Hoods & Extractor Hoods

Shop AEG cooker hoods for integrated, pull-out, chimney and angled installations. Compare extractor width, extraction performance, noise level, energy efficiency and whether the hood will be ducted outside or configured to recirculate filtered air back into the kitchen.

The AEG range includes straightforward ExtractionTech cooker hoods as well as selected models with Hob2Hood automatic hob control, SilenceTech quieter extraction, Breeze post-cooking ventilation, AuroraTech adaptive lighting and AutoSense sensor-controlled extraction. Check the individual model specification carefully, as features and installation requirements vary.

Choosing an AEG cooker hood

Start with the installation position rather than appearance. The position of your hob, surrounding cabinetry and available ducting route determine which type of cooker hood will fit correctly.

Integrated and canopy cooker hoods

Integrated AEG cooker hoods are designed to sit within kitchen furniture for a more discreet installation. Canopy and group hoods remain largely concealed inside the cabinet, while selected pull-out models extend when extraction is needed. Check the exact appliance dimensions and required cabinet opening rather than relying only on the nominal hood width.

Wall-mounted chimney and angled cooker hoods

Wall-mounted cooker hoods are designed for hobs positioned against a wall. Traditional chimney designs provide a familiar vertical hood arrangement, while angled or vertical-design hoods use an inclined front and can provide additional space around the front of the cooking area.

Choosing the right width

Match the cooker hood to the hob and the available installation space. AEG cooker hoods are available in several widths, so compare the actual appliance dimensions with the hob, wall units and surrounding cabinetry before ordering. Always follow the minimum installation distance stated for the individual hood and hob combination, particularly when installing above gas cooking.

AEG cooker hood technology explained

Feature	What it does	Why it matters
ExtractionTech	Uses the hood motor and fan system to remove cooking vapours and odours.	Compare the stated extraction rate when choosing between models and kitchen sizes.
Hob2Hood	Allows a compatible AEG hob to communicate with the cooker hood and regulate extraction and lighting while you cook.	Reduces the need to change the fan setting manually.
SilenceTech	Is designed to reduce operating noise while the hood continues extracting cooking vapours and odours.	Useful in open-plan kitchens and other spaces where extractor noise is particularly noticeable.
Breeze	Runs the hood more quietly after cooking to help clear lingering odours.	Allows the kitchen air to continue refreshing without leaving the extractor running at a high setting.
AuroraTech	Automatically adjusts the colour and intensity of the cooker hood lighting according to the time of day on selected models.	Adds adaptable task and ambient lighting above the cooking area.
AutoSense	Uses sensors to detect steam, grease and odours and adjusts the fan power automatically.	Allows the extractor to respond to changing cooking conditions with less manual adjustment.

Ducted extraction or recirculation?

Many AEG cooker hoods can be configured for either external extraction or recirculation, but the installation requirements are different.

With ducted extraction, cooking vapours are drawn through the grease filter and discharged outside through ducting. The duct route, outlet diameter and number of bends can affect performance, so these should be planned before installation.

With recirculation, the hood filters the air before returning it to the kitchen. A compatible charcoal or carbon filter is normally required to help reduce cooking odours. Filter type, availability and replacement requirements vary by model, so check the specification before ordering.

Compare extraction rate and noise level

Do not choose a cooker hood by maximum airflow alone. Compare the extraction rate and noise figure at normal operating speeds as well as any intensive setting. A powerful intensive mode is useful for short periods of frying, searing or heavy steam, while lower-speed noise levels matter more during everyday cooking.

AEG's SilenceTech models are designed specifically to combine extraction performance with lower operating noise. Selected models also include Breeze mode for quieter ventilation after cooking.

Energy efficiency and cooker hood lighting

Energy ratings vary across the AEG cooker hood range. Compare the energy class together with annual energy consumption, extraction performance and how frequently you expect to use the hood rather than using the energy label as the only buying criterion.

LED lighting is available across much of the range. Selected premium models add adjustable or adaptive lighting such as Perfect Illumination and AuroraTech, which can alter light temperature or intensity as well as illuminating the hob.

Cleaning and maintaining an AEG cooker hood

Grease filters need regular cleaning to maintain airflow and extraction performance. Many current AEG models use removable metal grease filters that can be washed, while selected cooker hoods also provide filter-maintenance notifications.

For recirculation installations, check the correct charcoal filter for the individual model. Standard, long-life and higher-performance filter options differ between cooker hoods, so use the specified compatible filter rather than selecting one on width or appearance alone.

AEG cooker hood FAQs

What is AEG Hob2Hood?

Hob2Hood allows compatible AEG hobs and cooker hoods to communicate wirelessly. When cooking, the hood can adjust its fan setting and lighting in response to the hob, reducing the need to change the extractor manually.

Can AEG cooker hoods be used for recirculation?

Many models support both ducted extraction and recirculation. Recirculation normally requires the correct charcoal or carbon filter, and compatible filter types vary by cooker hood. Check the individual product specification before installation.

What size AEG cooker hood should I choose?

Choose according to the hob width, installation position and available cabinet or wall space. Check the exact appliance width and installation drawings rather than relying only on a nominal 60cm, 70cm, 80cm or 90cm description.

What is SilenceTech?

SilenceTech is used on selected AEG cooker hoods to help keep operating noise lower while the extractor removes cooking vapours and odours. Compare the stated decibel figures between models if noise is an important buying consideration.

What does AutoSense do on an AEG cooker hood?

AutoSense uses sensors to detect steam, grease and odours and automatically adjusts the extractor fan power according to cooking conditions. It is available only on selected models.

Are all AEG Hob2Hood cooker hoods app connected?

No. Hob2Hood describes communication between a compatible hob and cooker hood and should not automatically be treated as app connectivity. App-based functions are available only on selected AEG products, so check the individual model specification if app control or connected lighting is important.

How should I maintain the grease and charcoal filters?

Follow the maintenance instructions for the individual cooker hood. Washable metal grease filters should be cleaned regularly, while charcoal filters used for recirculation may require replacement or regeneration depending on the filter type. Selected AEG models provide filter-cleaning notifications.
