Micromesh: Pure performance
AEG’s washable stainless steel micromesh filters will last the lifetime of your rangehood. Capturing and extracting grease, they reduce odours and purify the air.

Powerful extraction
Whether you are searing steaks or wilting spinach, it’s important to maintain clean and fresh air in your kitchen while cooking. With a 775m3 /hr extraction rate, this hood quickly removes vapours so you can enjoy cooking without distraction.

High performance filter system
The durable stainless steel baffle filter efficiently extracts vapours, absorbs odours, and filters grease to prevent build-up and optimise the airflow in your kitchen. It’s easy to remove and is also dishwasher safe.

A fresher kitchen. Hands-free
The wireless Hob2Hood function automatically adjusts your hood settings based on how you are cooking, leaving your hands free to focus on the food. The hood lights will automatically illuminate when your hob turns on and the fan speed will adjust depending on how powerfully you are cooking.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Kitchen layout and design

Recirculated versus ducted

You have two circulation choices for rangehoods: ducted or recirculated. Ducted models connect to the outdoors with pipes that remove smoke, steam, heat and odour-filled air returning fresh outside air, while recirculated models use a filter to purify the air before returning it to the kitchen. Recirculated aren’t as powerful as ducted, but are more easily installed - prime for apartment living.

Noise considerations

AEG’s noise-minimising advanced SilenceTech cleverly reduces loud volumes to 54 dB, essential for uninterrupted open plan living. Ask to have a listen for yourself in-store. It is important to understand what this dB rating is equivalent to, you will find a whisper is around 30 dB and a hairdryer is 80 dB.

Cleaning

For the superior performance and longevity of your rangehood regularly clean the filter. Micromesh versions need dishwashing at least every six months, while other models come with removable hand wash only filters. Some AEG models have a clean filter indicator for a nifty reminder.

Extraction rate

Rangehood power or extraction rates are measured in m3/hour, where the higher the rate, the greater air volume sucked from your kitchen. What level of extraction performance you need, will depend on your cooking habits. For example, regular high heat wok cooking would need a high extraction rate of  700m3/hour or over.
