Frequently asked questions about extractor hoods

What types of restaurant hoods are there?

The main types are wall-mounted hoods (with or without a built-in motor), installed against the wall above the cooking surfaces; central or island hoods, suspended from the ceiling above central cooking blocks; snack hoods, which are compact and suited to small spaces such as bars and sandwich bars; and cubic hoods, ideal for ovens and special settings. The choice depends on the kitchen layout and the type of equipment to be covered.

How do you choose the right kitchen hood for your premises?

To choose the right hood, consider the extraction rate (m³/h), which must be proportionate to the cooking area and the power of the burners; the size of the hood relative to the cooking surface (it should overhang slightly on all sides); whether or not it has a built-in motor; and compatibility with the exhaust or filtration system. In a professional kitchen it is also essential to keep safe distances from open flames.

What is the difference between a wall-mounted hood and an island hood?

A wall-mounted hood is installed against the wall and extracts fumes from one side only, making it ideal when the cooking blocks are lined up along a wall. A central (or island) hood, by contrast, is suspended from the ceiling above a central cooking island and extracts on several sides. An island hood generally needs a higher extraction rate precisely because it does not benefit from the containing effect of the wall.

What are labyrinth filters for and how often should they be cleaned?

Labyrinth (or baffle) filters capture the grease and particles in cooking vapours, protecting the motor and the ductwork and reducing the risk of fire. They should be cleaned frequently, roughly once a week or more often with heavy frying: they are made of stainless steel and can be washed in a dishwasher or by hand with a degreaser. Proper maintenance of hood filters keeps extraction efficiency high.

Do you need a hood with a built-in motor, or is an external motor better?

A hood with a built-in motor is the simplest, most straightforward solution, suitable for small and medium-sized premises with short ducts. An external motor (or remote extractor fan) is recommended for large kitchens, long duct runs or when you want to reduce noise in the dining room, as the extraction unit is located away from the working area. The choice depends on the required extraction rate, the length of the exhaust run and acoustic comfort.

What material are professional extractor hoods made of?

Professional hoods are made of stainless steel (typically AISI 304), a sturdy material that resists corrosion and heat, is easy to sanitise and meets HACCP food hygiene requirements. The labyrinth filters are also made of stainless steel. This ensures a long service life and excellent resistance in the humid, greasy and steamy environments typical of food service.

Which hood should you choose for a bar or a small snack counter?

For bars, sandwich bars and small snack stations the ideal solution is a snack hood or a compact wall-mounted hood, often fitted with a built-in motor and several labyrinth filters to handle griddles, fryers and toasters in tight spaces. It is important to size the hood to the cooking surface and check whether fumes can be exhausted outdoors or, alternatively, to consider dedicated filtration systems.
