The SMEG KD61XE3 is a 60 cm stainless steel chimney cooker hood from the Universal aesthetic family, designed for ducted or recirculating extraction. With three button-controlled speeds and a maximum extraction rate of 600 m³/h, it helps remove grease and steam from cooking. LED lighting at 4000 K illuminates the hob area, while aluminium anti-grease filters support effective filtration. It offers a C energy efficiency class and flexible installation distances above gas or electric hobs.

Additional Details and Usage

The hood can operate either ducted to the outside or in recirculation mode using suitable charcoal filters. Tube reduction is included for connection to the vent outlet.

Three speeds are selected using button controls, allowing adjustment of extraction rate and noise level to suit different cooking activities.

The aluminium anti-grease filters are designed to help remove grease from the steam produced during cooking. The integrated LED lighting illuminates the cooking area and can also contribute to the ambience of the kitchen.

For safe installation, the hood should be positioned at least 650 mm above a gas hob and 500 mm above an electric hob.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cooker hood be used in recirculation mode?

Yes. The extraction system allows for ducted out or re-circulation operation. For recirculation, compatible charcoal filters such as the KITFC152 charcoal filters round kit (2 pieces) can be used.

What is the maximum extraction rate of the SMEG KD61XE3?

The maximum extraction rate is 600 m³/h, with a free outlet maximum capacity of 620 m³/h.

How noisy is the hood during operation?

At minimum speed, the airborne acoustical A–weighted sound power emission is 45 dBA. At maximum speed, it reaches 63 dBA, which is also the sound power level at the highest setting.

What type of filters are included?

The hood comes with two aluminium anti-grease filters. These filters help remove grease from the steam emitted from pans during cooking.

What are the installation height requirements above the hob?

The minimum distance from a gas hob is 650 mm, and the minimum distance from an electric hob is 500 mm.
