With a maximum extraction power of 820 m³/h, measured according to the EN standard, the GL 45 X /C is built to deal with the steam and smoke from busy hobs. Searing steak, stir-frying or boiling pasta in several pans at once releases a lot of moisture and grease into the air, and this hood is designed to pull it away from the cooking zone so your kitchen stays fresher.
Four fan speeds let you match the airflow to what is on the hob. The lowest setting runs at 50 dB, which suits gentle simmering, while the top speed reaches 65 dB when you need full extraction for heavy frying. Being able to step up or down means you only use as much power and noise as the moment really needs, rather than running flat out every time.
The hood carries an energy efficiency class A rating, with a rated power of 280 W. Its other EU label ratings are B for grease filtering efficiency, B for lighting efficiency and D for fluid dynamic efficiency. Together they give you a clear, honest picture of how the appliance performs, so you can compare it with other hoods on the same terms before you buy.
Speeds and lights are operated by touch controls on the stainless steel body, so there are no knobs to collect grease and the panel wipes clean easily. A built-in filter cleaning indicator reminds you when the filters need attention, which helps keep extraction working as it should. Note that the hood has no handheld remote control; everything is done directly on the unit.
Two EcoLed lamps sit above the cooking surface, throwing light right where you chop, stir and check whether food is done. Good lighting over the hob makes cooking easier and safer, especially in the evening. The lighting efficiency class is B, and the LED technology means you get useful illumination without the heat of older bulb types.
The metal grease filters are removable and washable, so you can take them out, clean them and refit them instead of buying replacements. The hood also supports recirculation, which makes it an option for kitchens where ducting the air outside is not practical. For safe installation, keep at least 65 cm above a gas hob and 55 cm above an electric hob.
At 50 cm wide, this canopy hood fits compact kitchens, flats and smaller hobs where a wider unit would not fit. The stainless steel finish blends in with most modern appliances, and the net weight of 6.9 kg keeps it manageable to install. It suits home cooks who want strong extraction, simple touch controls and low running costs without overspending.
