Miele Chimney Hoods – Wall & Island Extractor Hoods

Miele chimney hoods combine powerful kitchen extraction with premium stainless-steel design and practical everyday controls. Shop Miele wall-mounted and island extractor hoods in popular 60cm and 90cm widths, with models suitable for ducted extraction or recirculating operation.

Why choose a Miele chimney hood?

Miele chimney hoods provide effective extraction above the hob while creating a visible design feature within the kitchen. Unlike integrated cooker hoods that are concealed within cabinetry, chimney-style extractors are designed to remain on display, making them particularly well suited to contemporary and premium fitted kitchens.

The Miele chimney hood range includes both wall-mounted cooker hoods and island extractor hoods. Wall-mounted models are installed above a hob positioned against a wall, while island cooker hoods are suspended from the ceiling above a cooking area positioned within a kitchen island or peninsula.

Available Miele chimney hoods include popular 60cm and 90cm widths, allowing the extractor to be matched to different hob sizes and kitchen layouts.

Selected Miele models feature technologies such as Con@ctivity, energy-efficient LED lighting, intensive extraction modes and multi-layer stainless-steel grease filters. Features vary between individual cooker hoods, so check the product specification when comparing models.

Miele Wall-Mounted Chimney Hoods

Miele wall-mounted chimney hoods are designed to sit above a hob installed against the kitchen wall.

The visible canopy and chimney section create a traditional extractor layout while still offering clean, contemporary styling. Stainless-steel finishes make these cooker hoods particularly easy to coordinate with Miele ovens, hobs and other built-in appliances.

Miele wall extractor hoods are available in different widths, including popular 60cm and 90cm formats. Choosing the correct width helps the hood capture rising steam, grease and cooking vapours effectively.

Miele recommends that a cooker hood should ideally be slightly wider than the hob beneath it where space allows, or at least as wide as the cooking surface.

Miele Island Chimney Hoods

Miele island chimney hoods are designed for hobs positioned within a kitchen island or peninsula.

Instead of fixing to a wall, the extractor is suspended from the ceiling directly above the cooking surface. This makes an island hood both a functional extraction appliance and a prominent visual feature within the kitchen.

Island extractor hoods require careful installation planning because the ceiling fixing, electrical supply, ducting route and required height above the hob all need to be considered.

A Miele island chimney hood can be particularly effective in larger or open-plan kitchens where the cooking area forms a central part of the room.

60cm & 90cm Miele Chimney Hoods

Miele chimney cooker hoods are available in different widths to suit common hob sizes.

A 60cm Miele chimney hood is typically suited to a standard-width hob and can work particularly well in more compact kitchens.

A 90cm Miele chimney hood provides wider extraction coverage and can be a better choice above larger induction or gas hobs.

The hood width should not be considered in isolation. Always check the minimum installation height above the hob, extraction requirements and Miele's installation instructions for the individual cooker hood.

Ducted or Recirculating Miele Chimney Hoods?

The Miele chimney hoods currently available through Appliance Superstore can be configured for ducted extraction or recirculation, depending on the model and the accessories used.

With ducted extraction, cooking vapours are filtered and then directed outside the property through suitable ducting. This also removes moisture from the kitchen and is usually the preferred arrangement where an appropriate external route is available.

With recirculating extraction, grease is filtered from the air and an additional charcoal filter is used to help reduce cooking odours before the cleaned air is returned to the kitchen.

Recirculation can be particularly useful where installing external ducting is impractical, although the correct conversion kit and filters must be selected for the individual Miele cooker hood.

What is Miele Con@ctivity?

Miele Con@ctivity allows compatible Miele hobs and cooker hoods to communicate automatically.

When cooking begins, information from the hob is transferred to the cooker hood. The extractor can then adjust its power level automatically according to activity on the cooking surface.

This reduces the need to manually change the extractor setting as cooking intensity increases or decreases.

Con@ctivity is available on selected Miele chimney hoods rather than every model, so check both the hob and cooker hood specifications if automatic hob-to-hood control is important to you.

Miele Chimney Hood Filters

Miele chimney hoods use grease filters to capture airborne grease generated during cooking.

Selected Miele wall-mounted cooker hoods use multi-layer stainless-steel grease filters that can be removed for cleaning. Current premium Miele models can feature 10-layer stainless-steel filters designed for effective grease capture and straightforward maintenance.

For cooker hoods operating in recirculation mode, an additional charcoal filter is normally required to help reduce cooking odours.

Always check the individual Miele extractor model to determine the correct replacement or recirculation filter.

How powerful should a Miele chimney hood be?

The extraction performance you need depends on the size of the kitchen, the hob and the type of cooking carried out regularly.

Frequent frying, searing or cooking that generates large amounts of steam may benefit from greater extraction capacity, while lighter everyday cooking can require less airflow.

Selected Miele chimney hoods include an Intensive or Booster mode for short periods of increased extraction. All of the chimney hood models currently listed by Appliance Superstore include an intensive mode.

When comparing models, also consider the stated noise level rather than simply choosing the highest possible extraction rate.

How quiet are Miele chimney hoods?

Noise output varies according to the cooker hood, extraction setting and installation.

Several of the Miele chimney hoods currently available from Appliance Superstore carry Quiet Mark accreditation, while the current range spans different stated noise levels depending on model and operating speed.

Correctly planned ducting can also make a significant difference. Excessively narrow, long or sharply angled ducting can restrict airflow and contribute to additional extractor noise.

For kitchens that form part of an open-plan living area, compare both the normal operating noise and higher-power extraction settings before choosing a hood.

Miele Chimney Hood FAQs

What is a Miele chimney hood?

A Miele chimney hood is a visible cooker extractor installed above the cooking surface.

Most chimney hoods consist of an extraction canopy with a vertical chimney section above it. Miele offers both wall-mounted chimney hoods and island models designed for cooking areas away from a wall.

They provide an alternative to integrated cooker hoods, which are largely concealed within kitchen furniture.

What is the difference between a chimney hood and an integrated cooker hood?

A chimney hood is designed to remain visible and becomes part of the kitchen design.

An integrated cooker hood is installed within or beneath kitchen cabinetry so that much of the extractor is concealed.

A Miele chimney hood is therefore particularly suitable where the cooker hood itself is intended to form part of the visual design of the kitchen.

Does Miele make wall-mounted cooker hoods?

Yes. Miele offers a range of wall-mounted cooker hoods, including chimney-style and angled extractor designs.

The Miele chimney hood selection available through Appliance Superstore includes both 60cm and 90cm wall-mounted models.

Does Miele make island chimney hoods?

Yes. Miele produces island cooker hoods designed to be suspended above a hob installed within a kitchen island.

Island hoods require appropriate ceiling support and careful planning for ducting, electrical connections and the correct installation height.

Should my cooker hood be wider than my hob?

Where possible, Miele recommends choosing a cooker hood that is slightly wider than the hob so it can capture rising cooking vapours more effectively.

If space does not allow this, the hood should generally be at least as wide as the hob.

Always follow the installation instructions for the specific hob and extractor combination.

Can a Miele chimney hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes. Selected Miele chimney hoods can operate in recirculation mode when fitted with the appropriate conversion components and charcoal filters.

Recirculating operation can be useful where external ducting is not practical.

Check the individual Miele cooker hood specification because the required accessories vary between models.

What is Miele Con@ctivity?

Miele Con@ctivity allows a compatible Miele hob to communicate with a compatible cooker hood.

The cooker hood can automatically adjust its extraction level in response to cooking activity on the hob, providing more automatic control of kitchen ventilation.

Are Miele chimney hoods suitable for open-plan kitchens?

Yes. Miele chimney hoods can work well in open-plan kitchens, particularly where the cooker hood is intended to become a visible design feature.

For an open-plan room, consider both extraction performance and noise level because the hood will operate within the same space used for dining or relaxing.

An island chimney hood can also be particularly suitable where the hob is positioned within a central kitchen island.
