Range Hood
A ventilation appliance installed above a range or cooktop to capture grease, smoke, steam, and cooking odors through a fan-and-filter system and exhaust them outside or recirculate filtered air. Range hoods are a critical component in kitchen design, affecting cabinet layout, soffit design, and upper cabinet placement. They are available as wall-mount chimney hoods, under-cabinet hoods, island hoods, built-in hood inserts, and custom wood hood surrounds.
