Description
A hood earns its place by clearing steam and cooking smells before they settle into the room, and the Teknix TKCH26X does that over a standard 60cm hob with three speeds to match what is happening below, from a gentle simmer to a pan of frying onions.
It can be fitted either way. Ducted to an outside wall it extracts cooking air entirely, which is the more effective option where the run is available. Where it is not, carbon filters let it recirculate instead, filtering the air and returning it to the kitchen with no external duct required.
The telescopic chimney adjusts between 57.3cm and 95.3cm, so the hood sits at the right height under a range of ceilings and finishes neatly against the wall.
Two LED lamps throw clear light across the hob, which is a real help when you are judging colour in a pan, and they draw very little power, with the hood using only 19 kWh a year in total. The aluminium grease filters pull out and go in the dishwasher.
