Smeg Cooker Hoods & Extractors

Shop Smeg cooker hoods and kitchen extractors for wall-mounted, integrated, island, ceiling and downdraft installation. Compare the width of the hood with your hob or range cooker, then narrow the range by extraction method, energy class, noise level, finish and useful functions such as intensive extraction or automatic hob-to-hood control.

Choose a Smeg Cooker Hood by Type

Wall-Mounted & Chimney Cooker Hoods

Wall-mounted Smeg cooker hoods are installed above a hob positioned against a wall. The range includes conventional chimney and T-shaped designs as well as angled extractors. Check the hood width, required mounting height and duct position before ordering, particularly when matching a wider hob or range cooker.

Integrated Canopy & Telescopic Cooker Hoods

Integrated Smeg cooker hoods are designed to sit within kitchen cabinetry for a less visible installation. Canopy models fit into a housing above the hob, while telescopic hoods extend forwards during use and retract when extraction is not required. Cabinet dimensions and ventilation clearances should always be checked against the individual installation drawing.

Island Cooker Hoods

Smeg island cooker hoods suspend above a hob fitted into a kitchen island. Because the extractor is visible from several sides, both installation height and overall dimensions are important. Check ceiling fixing requirements as well as whether the chosen model will be ducted outside or configured for recirculation.

Ceiling Cooker Hoods

Ceiling extractors provide a more discreet alternative above an island or open cooking area. Installation normally requires sufficient ceiling space for the extractor body, motor and ducting, so the technical drawing should be considered early in the kitchen design rather than after cabinetry and services have been fitted.

Downdraft Extractors

A downdraft extractor is installed at worktop level and rises or extracts close to the cooking surface rather than hanging above it. This can preserve open sight lines in island kitchens, but the extractor, motor and duct route require space below or around the worktop and should be planned alongside the hob and cabinetry.

How to Choose a Smeg Cooker Hood

Match the Extractor to Your Hob and Kitchen Layout

Start with the position of the hob. A hob against a wall will normally use a wall-mounted, chimney, angled or integrated hood, while an island hob can use an island, ceiling or suitable downdraft extractor. The hood must also be installed at the clearance specified for the individual appliance and hob type.

Check the Width Before Ordering

Cooker hood width should be considered alongside both the hob and surrounding cabinetry. Smeg produces compact integrated extractors as well as wider hoods intended for larger hobs and range-cooker installations. Use the width specification rather than relying on product photography, and check the full installation drawing where the hood is being fitted into cabinetry.

Ducted Extraction or Recirculation?

Many Smeg cooker hoods can be configured for either ducted extraction or recirculation. Ducted installation sends cooking vapour and odours outside through suitable ducting. Recirculating installation filters the air before returning it to the room and normally requires the compatible charcoal filter specified for that particular hood.

Where external ducting is possible, plan the duct route and outlet diameter before installation. Where recirculation is required, check the correct filter part number and the manufacturer's maintenance instructions rather than assuming one charcoal filter fits every Smeg extractor.

Compare Extraction Rate and Noise

Extraction performance is normally stated in cubic metres per hour. Higher airflow can be useful for larger cooking areas or when dealing with heavier steam and odours, but maximum airflow should not be considered in isolation. Compare normal operating speeds, intensive or boost extraction where fitted, and the quoted sound level to find a practical balance for your kitchen.

Energy Efficiency and Lighting

Use the energy efficiency class to compare similar cooker hoods, particularly where the extractor is used frequently. Smeg models may also use LED lighting to illuminate the hob. Lighting output, efficiency and control vary between models, so compare the specification if the hood will provide an important part of the task lighting over the cooking area.

Smeg Auto-Vent 2.0

Selected Smeg cooker hoods use Auto-Vent 2.0. This connects a compatible Smeg hob and extractor by Bluetooth so the hood can switch on with the hob and automatically adjust extraction as cooking conditions change. Compatibility is model-specific, so check that both the chosen hob and cooker hood support Auto-Vent 2.0 before buying them as a connected pair.

Grease Filters and Maintenance

Cooker hoods use grease filters to capture airborne grease before it reaches the motor and ducting. Depending on the model, filters may be removable for cleaning. Recirculating installations also require suitable charcoal filtration. Follow the maintenance schedule for the individual extractor and replace filters where specified to maintain effective airflow.

Smeg Cooker Hood FAQs

What is the difference between a Smeg cooker hood and a Smeg extractor?

For this category the terms largely describe the same appliance. Cooker hood, extractor hood and kitchen extractor fan are commonly used for appliances designed to remove steam, grease and cooking odours. The important distinction is the hood type and how it is installed.

Can Smeg cooker hoods be used in recirculation mode?

Many Smeg cooker hoods can operate using either external ducting or recirculation. Recirculating installation normally requires a compatible charcoal filter. Check the specification and accessory requirements for the exact model before installation.

Which Smeg cooker hood do I need for an island hob?

An island hob can usually be paired with an island cooker hood, suitable ceiling extractor or compatible downdraft system. The best option depends on ceiling construction, available duct routes, cabinetry, required extraction performance and how visible you want the extractor to be.

What is Smeg Auto-Vent 2.0?

Auto-Vent 2.0 is Smeg's automatic hob-to-hood control system. On compatible products the hob and extractor communicate by Bluetooth, allowing the hood to start and alter its extraction level in response to cooking activity.

How wide should my Smeg cooker hood be?

Choose the hood only after checking the hob width and the installation requirements for both appliances. Wider cooking surfaces commonly require correspondingly wider extraction coverage, but the manufacturer's specified installation dimensions and clearances should take priority over a simple width rule.

How high should a Smeg extractor be installed above the hob?

The minimum clearance varies by cooker hood and by whether the cooking surface is gas or electric. Use the installation instructions for the exact Smeg hood and hob rather than applying one universal distance across the range.
