ILVE Majestic AM76 Cooker Hood for Professional Kitchens

A cooker hood that draws smoke, steam and odours away from the hob while lighting the worktop below. The Majestic AM76 uses a powerful centrifugal fan to pull air through anodised aluminium filters, trapping grease before it reaches the ducting. In extraction mode the air is vented outside; in filtering mode it is recirculated after passing through an additional charcoal filter. The fan runs at four speeds, allowing the operator to match the airflow to the cooking load without wasting energy or noise on lighter tasks like simmering sauces.

The sequence begins by switching the hood on with the front panel. The operator selects one of four speeds: low for gentle frying or holding, medium for roasting, high for grilling, and intensive for deep-frying or searing. Front LED lights illuminate the hob, while a separate 1 175 W infrared lamp mounted on the wall above keeps plated food warm. An automatic delayed switch-off function runs the fan for a set period after cooking ends, clearing residual steam. A light on the panel signals when the anodised aluminium filters need cleaning; the operator can then activate the automatic filter-cleaning cycle, which sprays water and detergent across the filters to dissolve grease.

The case is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for resistance to corrosion and ease of wiping down. The chimney has a 15 cm hole for ducting and a 28 cm width to match the hood's 76 cm footprint. Controls are grouped on the front edge: four push-buttons for fan speed, a separate button for the infrared warmer, and a light to indicate filter status. The hood is predisposed for an optional remote control, allowing adjustment from across the kitchen.

A power rating of 535 W reflects the load on the electrical circuit when the fan runs at full speed. The 890 m³/h maximum airflow determines the volume of air the hood can clear each hour, suitable for a medium to large professional range. The energy class A rating confirms efficient operation relative to extraction capacity. The 760 mm width fits standard worktop layouts, while the 600 mm depth allows installation above most hobs without overhang. The 400 mm height keeps the chimney compact, reducing the space needed above the hood.

Cleaning involves removing the anodised aluminium filters for manual washing or running the automatic cleaning cycle. The stainless steel case is wiped with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Optional accessories include a stainless steel back panel for a seamless look, chimney extensions for taller ceilings, and replacement filters.

The AM76 is available in extraction or filtering versions. Optional accessories include a stainless steel back panel, chimney extension, remote control, replacement filters, and an under-hood grille.
