Full details
The Novy Essence 828 is an ideal extraction solution for homeowners seeking a discreet, high-performance ventilation system for bespoke cabinetry or decorative canopy hoods. Designed for recirculating air, this built-in unit balances a respectable 420 m³/h extraction rate with exceptionally quiet operation, making it perfect for open-plan living spaces. While it offers excellent acoustic performance, users should note that it relies on traditional halogen lighting and a manual button interface rather than modern touch or LED-based systems.

FAQs
Can this hood be converted to external venting?
The Novy 828 is specifically engineered as a recirculating unit. Please consult your installer, but note it is optimized for recirculation.
How often should I clean the grease filter?
For optimal efficiency, we recommend cleaning the aluminium filter every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how frequently you cook.
What is the noise level of the hood at its highest setting?
At its highest speed setting, the unit reaches 46 dB, which is still considered quiet for a kitchen extractor.
Can I replace the halogen bulbs with LEDs?
While halogen is the standard, ensure any replacement LED bulbs are compatible with the voltage and physical socket requirements of the unit.
Is the unit suitable for a 60cm cabinet?
Yes, with a width of 546mm, it fits well within standard 60cm cabinetry, providing enough space for secure mounting.
Troubleshooting
The unit is running, but extraction feels weak.
Inspect the aluminium grease filter for heavy buildup and clean it if necessary. Ensure the recirculating path is clear of obstructions.
The lights are not turning on.
Check if the halogen bulbs are seated correctly in their sockets. If they remain off, the bulbs may have reached the end of their lifespan and require replacement.
Excessive noise or vibration during operation.
Ensure that the unit is securely mounted to the canopy frame. Loose screws or cabinet panels can rattle at higher motor speeds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Maintenance Tips:
- Filter Cleaning: Remove the aluminium grease filter monthly and soak it in warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher to prevent grease buildup.
- Bulb Replacement: Ensure the unit is powered down and the bulbs have cooled before replacing the 20W halogen bulbs.
- Surface Care: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a dedicated stainless steel cleaner to maintain the original finish and prevent scratching.
