The right hood for you depends on your kitchen layout and cooking style. Under-cabinet hoods work well in compact kitchens, while wall-mounted and island hoods are better suited for larger spaces.

Kitchen hood options include:

• • Under-Cabinet Hood: Fits under cabinets, ideal for compact kitchens.
• • Wall-Mounted Hood: Installed above the stove on a wall, providing strong ventilation.

CMH stands for Cubic Meters per Hour and shows how much air a kitchen hood removes in one hour. A higher CMH means better removal of smoke, steam, and odors, so it’s an important factor to consider when buying a hood.

For best performance, maintain the following distances above the cooktop:

• • Gas cooktops: 25–30 inches (65–75 cm)
• • Induction cooktops: 22–26 inches (55–65 cm)

It must be installed by a professional authorised by Samsung to ensure safety and proper ventilation.

It depends on how often you use the hood, but there are standard recommendations to follow:

• • Metal grease filters: Clean once a month.
• • Charcoal filters: Replace every 3–6 months.

Depending on the model, your hood may include features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, auto-sensing, built-in timers, and app control for greater convenience.

Regular cleaning prevents grease buildup:

• • Wipe the inside and outside surfaces with a gentle, neutral detergent, then dry thoroughly.
• • Wash the metal grease filters once a month with mild detergent, or run them in the dishwasher on a low‑temperature, short cycle.

Failing to clean or replace filters in a timely manner could cause reduced efficiency, increased noise, higher energy use, and grease buildup that may create a fire risk. Regular filter care helps keep the hood safe and effective.
