Franke cooking hood

Start with width: choose a 60 cm hood for smaller kitchens or a 90 cm hood for wider cooking areas. In this range you’ll find both sizes with strong airflow—up to about 430–700 m³/h—so select the one that matches your hob width and cooking habits. The 60 cm options are compact and efficient, while the 90 cm options offer broader capture to handle larger cooking zones.

Higher airflow means more efficient removal of steam and odors, which is beneficial in busier kitchens. The hoods in this selection deliver up to 700 m³/h, with noise levels typically around 55–70 dB depending on speed settings. If you cook frequently with high heat or simmer sauces, a higher airflow with moderate noise is a practical balance.

Controls vary by model across this range: some hoods use touch capacitive or slider controls for easy speed adjustment, while LED lighting provides clear illumination of the cooking area. Lighting options can include tunable white LEDs for better color accuracy while cooking and preparing meals.

Most Franke hoods in this set use aluminum cassette filters that are washable, making routine maintenance straightforward. Regularly cleaning the filter improves efficiency and lifespan, and LED lighting requires minimal care beyond occasional dusting.

These hoods are built with stainless steel or glass-and-steel finishes designed for long residence in a kitchen. Warranty durations vary by model, with several models offering up to five years of coverage from authorized distributors, while some models provide a shorter three-year term. Always check the specific warranty terms for the exact hood you choose.

In small kitchens, a 60 cm hood is typically sufficient if your hob width aligns with that size and your cooking volume is moderate. If your cooking area is wider or you frequently cook large meals, a 90 cm hood provides broader airflow and coverage, helping to ensure efficient extraction without overloading the system.
