Product Information

Full details

The Smeg KLT12L4WH 120cm ceiling extractor hood is designed for homeowners with kitchen islands or open-plan layouts who require a powerful, minimalist ventilation solution. Its primary benefit is a high-performance 591 m³/h extraction rate combined with Auto-Vent 2.0 technology that synchronizes with compatible Smeg hobs for a hands-free experience. However, users should note that as a ceiling-mounted unit, it requires professional installation to ensure proper ducting or recirculation setup and structural clearance.

FAQs

Can this hood be used without external ducting?

Yes, it supports recirculating mode, which filters the air and returns it to the kitchen, making it suitable for homes where external ducting is not possible.

How often should I clean the grease filters?

We recommend cleaning the aluminium grease filters at least once a month, or more frequently if you engage in heavy frying or high-heat cooking.

What is the minimum height from the hob?

The manufacturer requires a minimum distance of 65cm from both gas and electric hobs to ensure safety and proper extraction efficiency.

Does this hood include a motor?

Yes, the KLT12L4WH includes a powerful integrated motor capable of 591 m³/h extraction.

Can I operate the hood if I don't have a Smeg Auto-Vent hob?

Absolutely. You can operate the hood manually using the included remote control or the physical control buttons.

Troubleshooting

Auto-Vent 2.0 not responding

Verify that your hob is a compatible Smeg Auto-Vent 2.0 model and ensure the pairing process has been completed according to your hob's manual.

Extraction power feels weak

Check the aluminium filters for grease buildup and clean them if necessary. If in recirculating mode, ensure your carbon filters (if applicable) are not saturated.

Remote control is not working

Check the battery level in the remote control and ensure there are no physical obstructions between the remote and the hood sensor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: This unit is a ceiling-built-in model. It requires a clearance of 65cm from both electric and gas hobs. If you are not experienced with ceiling-mounted appliances or ductwork, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure structural integrity and proper ventilation performance.

Compatibility: The Auto-Vent 2.0 feature is exclusively compatible with specific Smeg hobs that support this technology. Ensure your hob model is compatible before attempting to pair the systems.

Care: To maintain performance, regularly remove the four aluminium grease filters and clean them in warm, soapy water or a dishwasher. Wipe the stainless steel housing with a non-abrasive cloth to prevent scratching and maintain the finish.
