What our Experts Think

  • Smart Power Lung Ventilation
    Engineered with Power Lung blower technology, this island hood captures grease and cooking vapors more effectively than traditional filters by using centrifugal capture and a removable grease tray — ideal for light to moderate residential use.

  • Quiet & Balanced Everyday Operation
    Designed to balance airflow and noise for comfortable kitchen use without overwhelming sound — perfect for open kitchen islands where quiet extraction matters.

  • Elegant Island Profile
    Contemporary European‑style island design integrates seamlessly into modern kitchens, with two integrated lights to illuminate the cooktop below.

  • Responsive Heat Control
    Power Lung’s draft Canopy design improves smoke and vapor capture by maximizing interior surface area, helping control heat and odors without constant manual adjustments.

  • Installation Flexibility
    Recommended to mount about 30" above the cooking surface for optimal performance, and matching duct covers (sold separately) help finish high ceilings.

  • Performance Positioning
    Not ENERGY STAR rated, but well‑suited for buyers who want effective ventilation, easy maintenance, and a stylish island design for everyday cooking.

Maintenance Tips

  • Weekly Surface Clean: Wipe the exterior with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth; dry completely to prevent streaks and water spots.

  • Grease Control: Regularly clean the underside and interior to remove grease buildup that can reduce performance.

  • Filter Maintenance: Remove and wash grease filters often (dishwasher‑safe if applicable) to sustain strong airflow and odor removal.

  • Use Gentle Cleaners: Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, bleach, or harsh chemicals that can scratch or damage surfaces.

  • Polish Occasionally: Use a non‑abrasive cleaner to keep finishes looking new and shiny.

  • Safety First: Always turn off power and ensure the hood is cool before cleaning.
