Description
The TKAHGES26B is a 60cm angled hood in black glass that adds hand gesture control alongside the usual touch panel. It suits buyers who want the extractor to be a visible part of the kitchen and are willing to pay a little more for the convenience of changing speed without touching the unit.
Gesture control is genuinely useful at the hob. Hands are frequently wet, floured or holding a pan, and a wave in front of the sensor changes speed or switches the light without leaving marks on the glass. The touch pad remains available for anyone who prefers it, so the feature is an addition rather than a replacement.
The angled canopy keeps the front edge of the hood higher than a flat box design, which gives more clearance for anyone working at the rear burners. Three extraction speeds cover the range from background ventilation during simmering to full extraction while frying, with a quoted maximum of 57dB. Two LED lamps light the hob surface, which is worth having on a hob that sits under a wall-mounted unit.
Installation can be ducted to an outside wall or recirculating where venting is impractical. Physical dimensions are 60.0cm wide by 40.8cm deep, with the chimney adjusting between 78.0cm and 116.0cm. Net weight is 17.0kg, so a second pair of hands helps at fitting. Supply is 220-240V, 50-60Hz and the warranty is two years with registration.
