Cooker hood ILVE AGK90

A cooker hood draws steam, smoke and odours away from the hob before they spread through the kitchen. The ILVE Pro Line AGK90 uses a centrifugal fan to pull air through a grease filter and then expel it outside or recirculate it after charcoal filtration. The fan speed determines how much air moves each hour and how much pressure it builds, which affects how far the hood reaches across the worktop and how quietly it runs.

The operator fits the hood above the hob, connects the ducting to the 15 cm outlet if extracting, or installs charcoal filters if recirculating. The four-speed controls set the fan to low for simmering, medium for frying, high for grilling, or intensive for heavy smoke. Front LED lights illuminate the hob without casting shadows, so the chef sees the pans clearly.

The case is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and staining from kitchen moisture and cleaning chemicals. The 900 mm width matches standard hob sizes, and the 33 cm chimney covers the ducting neatly. A 180 W motor drives the fan, drawing a modest load on the electrical circuit.

Suction capacity of 630 m³ per hour clears a large volume of air, suitable for busy service periods. The four speeds give precise control over airflow, balancing extraction power with noise levels. At the lowest setting, the hood runs quietly enough for conversation; at the highest, it handles heavy frying without overheating the kitchen.

Cleaning involves removing and washing the grease filters regularly to maintain airflow and prevent fire hazards. The stainless steel surfaces wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Optional accessories include a stainless steel back panel for a seamless look and replacement filters for the filtering version.

The AGK90 is available in extraction or filtering versions, allowing installation in kitchens with or without external ducting. The catalogue places it in professional ventilation equipment for commercial kitchens.
