FAQs
How often should I clean the metal grease filters?
It is recommended to clean the metal grease filters at least monthly, or more frequently if you cook often or prepare greasy foods. They can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.
Do I need a carbon filter for this hood?
A carbon filter (sold separately) is only required if you are installing the hood in a recirculation configuration to filter odors before returning air to the kitchen. It is not needed for ducted extraction.
What size ducting do I need for extraction?
This hood requires a 120 mm diameter ducting kit for ducted extraction. The ducting kit itself is sold separately.
What is the energy efficiency rating of this hood?
The Smeg Canopy Cooker Hood has an energy efficiency rating of Class C, operating with a 125 W motor.
Is professional installation required?
While it's possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit, secure mounting, and optimal performance, especially for ducting connections.
Can I use this hood in a large kitchen?
This hood has an extraction rate suitable for medium-sized kitchens (125 to 224 m³/hour). For very large kitchens, you might require a hood with a higher maximum extraction capacity for optimal results.
Troubleshooting
The hood is not extracting air effectively.
Ensure the metal grease filters are clean and not blocked. For ducted installations, check that the ducting is clear and not kinked. For recirculation, confirm the carbon filter is correctly installed and not past its replacement date.
The LED lights are not working.
Check the power supply to the hood. If power is present, the LED modules might need replacement. Consult your user manual or a qualified technician.
The hood is making excessive noise.
Verify that the hood is securely mounted and that all screws are tightened. Check for any obstructions in the fan or ducting. Ensure filters are correctly seated.
Controls are unresponsive.
Check if the power supply to the unit is stable. If issues persist, there might be an electrical fault with the slider controls; contact customer service for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Installation
The Smeg Canopy Cooker Hood offers two primary installation methods:
- Ducted Extraction:
- This method vents cooking fumes directly outside your home.
- Requires a ducting kit (sold separately).
- The hood has a 120 mm ducting diameter.
- Ensure the ducting path is as short and straight as possible for optimal performance.
- Recirculation:
- This method filters the air and recirculates it back into the kitchen.
- Requires a carbon filter (not included, sold separately) to remove odors.
- The hood also utilizes a 120 mm ducting diameter for internal air movement.
- Regular replacement of the carbon filter is essential for effective odor removal.
It is recommended to consult a qualified installer for professional setup to ensure safety and optimal performance.
Compatibility
This cooker hood is suitable for medium-sized kitchens. Its discreet canopy design integrates well with various kitchen styles, particularly those with existing cabinetry where a hidden hood is desired.
Care & Maintenance
- Metal Grease Filters: The two metal grease filters should be removed and washed regularly, ideally at least once a month, or more frequently depending on your cooking habits. They can usually be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before re-installing.
- Carbon Filters (for Recirculation): If using the recirculation setup, the carbon filter needs to be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage). These filters cannot be washed or regenerated.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
- LED Lights: The LED lights are designed for long life. If a light fails, consult the user manual for replacement instructions or contact customer support.
