Chimney Cooker Hoods

The chimney cooker hoods, glass cooker hoods, stoves cooker hoods and wall-mounted cooker hoods extract steam and unpleasant smells safely and directly where they arise: above the hob or cooker top. There are three basic techniques regarding the chimney cooker hood. In general, the wall mounted cooker hood cleans the air by extracting the fumes and grease steams produced during cooking, roasting and frying.

As a result, the steam passes through a grease filter, which absorbs the dirt and grease particles contained within the fumes from the ambient air. It is therefore important that you choose a high-quality chimney cooker hood with a powerful filter.

At Klarstein, you can choose between a chimney hood, glass cooker hood, stove cooker hood and wall-mounted cooker hood that work with extracted air technology, circulated air technology or even hybrid technology in a variety of different designs and sizes, e.g. chimney cooker hoods 60cm or chimney cooker hoods 90cm.

A chimney hood is not only a stylish centerpiece in the kitchen but also an essential appliance for clean and odor-free cooking. To ensure effective performance and convenience, a good chimney cooker hood should offer the following key features:

Powerful Extraction Rate

The extraction capacity, measured in m³/h (cubic meters per hour), determines how much air the hood can clear. For optimal results, choose a model with a capacity suited to your kitchen size—generally between 300–700 m³/h for home use.

Multiple Ventilation Modes

High-quality chimney hoods support both extraction (ducted) and recirculation modes. This flexibility allows installation in various kitchen setups, even without external venting.

Adjustable Fan Speeds

Most hoods offer 3 to 5 speed levels to match different cooking activities—from gentle simmering to high-heat frying. Some models also include a boost mode for quick ventilation.

Effective Lighting

Integrated LED or halogen lights provide clear visibility over the hob. LEDs are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and offer bright, focused lighting for safe cooking.

Quiet Operation

A quiet motor ensures comfort an a low noise level while cooking. Look for models with a low decibel rating (ideally under 65 dB) to avoid noisy disruptions in open-plan kitchens.

Washable Grease Filters

Metal mesh filters trap grease and can be easily removed and cleaned, often in the dishwasher. This maintains hygiene and keeps the hood working efficiently.

Carbon Filters for Recirculation

If you're not venting to the outside, your hood should include or support activated carbon filters to neutralize odors during air recirculation.

Timer and Auto Shut-Off Function

A programmable timer or auto-off function lets the hood continue running for a few minutes after cooking, then shut down automatically—great for clearing residual steam and smells.

Touch Control or Remote Control Panel

Modern chimney hoods often feature touch panels, digital displays, or remote controls for convenient operation. Some advanced models also support smart home integration.

A chimney cooker hood with the right features ensures not only a fresh and odor-free kitchen but also a safe, convenient, and enjoyable cooking experience. Prioritize performance, low noise, ease of maintenance, and modern controls for the best value.

A classic chimney cooker hood with extracted air completely vacuums the cooking and frying fumes and transfers them directly to the outside via an air extraction duct. In order to guarantee this, it is elementary to implement the chimney cooker hood or stove cooker hood on an exterior wall. If this is ensured, you will benefit from the following advantage: you do not need to install any additional filter for the returning air. The situation is somewhat different if you choose a recirculating wall mounted cooker hood.

Furthermore, air circulating chimney hoods return the sucked-in air back into the room whilst cooking and frying food. This will be done by the activated charcoal filter only after a thorough cleaning. When buying such a glass cooker hood or stove cooker hood, ensure that filter must be replaced regularly or at least cleaned in regular intervals.
