Café Insert Range Hood

An insert range hood is designed to be built directly into your custom cabinetry or a decorative hood enclosure. It remains hidden from view, providing a seamless, integrated look while still offering the powerful ventilation of a standalone unit.

Yes, this is a ducted ventilation system. It requires an 8-inch duct to exhaust smoke, grease, and odors outside your home, which is necessary for the unit to achieve its maximum 610 CFM airflow capacity.

Chef Connect allows the hood to automatically sync with a compatible Café range. When you turn on your cooktop burners, the hood will automatically activate its lights and fan, ensuring you don't have to manually adjust settings while you're busy cooking.

Not at all. This unit uses professional-grade stainless steel baffle filters that are designed to be durable and efficient. They are dishwasher-safe, so you can simply remove them and run them through a cycle for easy maintenance.

The heat sensor acts as a safety measure by automatically turning on the fan if it detects excessive heat near the cooktop. This helps protect your cabinetry and ensures proper ventilation even if you forget to turn the hood on manually.

Yes, you have two convenient options. You can use the included remote control for quick adjustments, or connect the hood to the SmartHQ app on your mobile device to monitor and control the fan and lighting from anywhere.
