-
How wide should my cooker hood be?
-
Cooking vapours do not rise straight up but fan out over an angle of between 10 and 15 degrees. Choose a wider model so that cooking fumes are extracted effectively.
For a good result the cooker hood must be at least the full width of the hob. The maximum height of your cooker hood also plays a role.

What are the elements on the energy label for cooker hoods
-
Since 1 January 2015 cooker hoods have an energy label, with the exception of recirculation cooker hoods and cooker hoods without a motor. Novy adds extra criteria, which are even more important when choosing the right kitchen ventilation solution.
Novy introduces EcoSmart: a series of models that use energy even more efficiently.
As a specialist, Novy supports the trend towards appliances that use less energy. As a manufacturer we have pushed back the boundaries to achieve this, without sacrificing the basic requirements for a cooker hood: it must remove all odours and cooking fumes effectively and quietly.
With the EcoSmart label Novy has introduced a wide range of products that use up to 85% less energy. With an energy-saving motor which is also extra quiet and LED lighting, the level of energy consumption when the cooker hood is in operation has fallen drastically. All products with an EcoSmart label score A or A+ for energy efficiency.

How does peripheral extraction work?
-
The cooker hood is fitted with a peripheral extraction system. This means that extraction is concentrated at the edges of the cooker hood. This results in a faster air flow and improves the extraction output.

Maintenance of cooker hoods
-
What is the best way to clean my cooker hood?
-
A Novy cooker hood is easy to maintain if you remember the following:
- For regular maintenance:
- Use a damp and dry cloth to clean surfaces.
- Use warm water and a mild cleaning product.
- Do not use aggressive, abrasive or chlorinated products.
- Dry the surface afterwards with a dry cloth.
- Once every two to three months:
- After step 1 we recommend a Novy stainless steel cleaner for optimum cleaning of the stainless steel cooker hood.
- This is a soft nourishing mousse that leaves no traces of grease and is easy to use.
- It is recommended to apply the mousse to a damp cloth and then wipe the whole surface being cleaned using a circular motion.
- Afterwards, shine with a dry cloth.
If you use another stainless steel cleaner, we recommend testing it on the inside first and leaving for 24 hours. If there is no reaction, you can clean your cooker hood using this product.

Maintenance of the monoblock recirculation filter
A recirculating cooker hood is the perfect solution for kitchens without an extraction option. To ensure your ductless cooker hood continues to perform optimally and effectively neutralizes cooking odors, it's important to follow these 4 essential maintenance and usage tips.
To determine which type of recirculation filter is in your cooker hood, please refer to the overview below:
The Monoblock 3.0 is the successor to the Monoblock Pure 2.0 and Monoblock (1st generation). When replacing, the carbon filters from the Monoblock Pure 2.0 and Monoblock (1st generation) can be easily replaced with the Monoblock Pure 3.0. A new monoblock filter can be purchased at one of our specialist retailers.
Product purchased after 31 December 2019- Lifespan of 3-5 years:
Under normal cooking conditions the monoblock filter needs to be replaced after 3 to 5 years or 900 hours of cooking.
Product purchased after 31 December 2018- Clean annually:
Almost all cooker hoods have a cleaning indicator that lights up after 400 hours and indicates that the monoblock filter needs to be regenerated. The filter can be cleaned up to 6 times. This ensures a long service life of the filter. To regenerate the filter, place it in the oven at 100-120°C for 1 hour. - Lifespan up to 6 years:
After about 6 years (depending on the intensity of cooking) the monoblock filter needs to be replaced.
Product purchased before 31 December 2018
- Clean every 5 to 6 months
Almost all cooker hoods have a cleaning indicator that lights up after 200 hours and indicates that the monoblock filter should be regenerated. The filter can be cleaned up to 12 times, which ensures a long service life of the filter. To regenerate the filter, place it in the oven at 120°C for 1 hour. - After about 3 years:
After about 3 years (depending on the intensity of the cooking process) the monoblock filter needs to be replaced.
Maintenance cartridges containing granules of active catbon
Salsa, 828, 829, 650 and 655 are fitted with cartridges containing granules of active carbon. In the case of active carbon granules the indicator lights up after 120 hours and the cartridge must be replaced.
-
-
How should I maintain my grease filter(s)?
-
The extraction capacity falls when the grease filters are saturated and do not allow as much air through.
- It is best to clean the grease filter once a month. Cooker hoods with an electronic switch indicate that the grease filter has to be cleaned after 20 hours of cooking
- Novy filters consist of multiple layers of metal mesh and are dishwasher safe.
- You can also soak the filter in hot water with soda or detergent.
- We recommend replacing the filter after about 5 years to maintain optimum results.

How to install cooker hoods
-
I do not have any option to create an external outlet. What are the possible solutions?
-
In some homes, a cooker hood with an external air outlet is not possible or not allowed for architectural reasons. In these cases a cooker hood with recirculation is recommended.
A recirculation cooker hood is one that returns filtered cooking fumes back into the space.
Particles of grease are filtered out of the cooking fumes by the grease filter and odours are absorbed by the monoblock carbon filter.
The cooker hood does not remove the moist air, but this can be removed from the space by means of the ventilation system. It is important to remember this.View our recirculation accessories
-
-
How long can my outlet duct be?
-
We recommend keeping ducts as short as possible. However, the longer the outlet duct, the more resistance it creates and this has a greater impact on the efficiency of the appliance.
If the outlet duct is too long, you can always opt for a recirculation cooker hood or a recirculation kit for your cooker hood. This technology allows you to get rid of odours and no outlet to the outside is needed.
We have good reasons for our saying at Novy that it all starts with a cooker hood. The proper functioning of a cooker hood is partly determined by the correct installation of the appliance and it is important that you think about this at an early stage in the construction process. Well-kept outlet ducts play a crucial role in this. In order to be able to adapt the installation to your specific situation we offer a wide range of outlet ducts and other accessories.
-
-
Where is the best place to locate the motor for my ceiling unit?
-
For ventilation purposes it does not matter whether the motor is installed on the cooker hood, in the duct or at the end of the duct. The location mainly depends on the installation space available.
If the maximum installation height is 35 cm, you can keep the motor on the cooker hood. If you do not have this much installation height you can opt for the Pure'line Compact or the cubic remote motor.
-
-
Where is the best place to install the non-return valve?
-
You only need the non-return valve with a roof louvre; it is already incorporated in external louvres. For roof louvres you should locate the non-return valve as close as possible to the roof louvre.
-
-
How can I make sure my cooker hood is working optimally?
-
One important function of the cooker hood is removing cooking fumes and odours as efficiently as possible. For optimum functioning, it is important to remember the following when installing the cooker hood:
When using a circular outlet duct:
- Use smooth, non-inflammable ducts with an internal diameter equal to the external diameter of the outlet connector on the cooker hood. The cooker hood requires an outlet duct measuring Ø150 mm. Extend flexible ducts to the maximum and cut them to size.
- Do not reduce the outlet diameter. This will reduce the capacity and increase the noise level.
- When connecting to a short outlet duct it may be preferable to fit a non-return valve in the duct to prevent draughts.
- Use a hose clip or aluminium tape for an airtight seal.
- When passing a duct through the outside wall, use the external louvre.
When using a flat outlet duct:
- Use flat ducts with rounded corners and air guides in the corners. These ducts are available from Novy.
General:
- Keep the duct as short as possible with as few corners as possible along its route to the outlet.
- Avoid sharp corners. Ensure corners are rounded for good air movement.
- When passing a duct through an outside wall which is a cavity wall, make sure the outlet duct completely crosses the cavity and protrudes slightly outside.
- When passing an outlet through the roof, use a double-walled roof outlet with an adequate capacity.
- Never connect to a smoke flue.
- Ensure adequate ventilation. Fresh air can be allowed in by opening a window or external door slightly or by fitting a ventilation louvre.
Incorrect installation can result in poor extraction, more noise, condensation and other undesirable effects.
-
-
Do I need ventilation in my room?
-
Insufficient ventilationresults in a loss of efficiency. A cooker hood with an external outlet will only work optimally if the air that is vented externally is replaced by fresh air (via a louvre in the window, an open door or window, or from another room).

Novy Undercover
-
How does the Novy Undercover induction hob work?
-
The Novy Undercover is an invisible induction hob fully integrated into a 20 mm Dekton worktop. The induction coils beneath the worktop generate an inductive current in the base of the cookware, heating it. This is comparable to traditional induction hobs. You can place your cookware directly on the worktop to cook.
-
-
Can I use any pan on the Novy Undercover?
-
It is important to use cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or stainless steel. Pans with a round base and a diameter between 12 cm and 28 cm are most suitable for optimal performance. Thin, enamelled pans (like a pancake pan) are not recommended due to the risk of overheating. As a rule of thumb, any pan compatible with induction will also work with the Novy Undercover.
-
-
How do I control the Novy Undercover hob?
-
The Novy Undercover is equipped with the Novy Controller, a wireless control unit included as standard. Featuring both a tactile button and an intuitive touchscreen, it lets you effortlessly manage cooking zones, power levels, timers, and more—adapting seamlessly to your cooking style.
-
-
What are the centrepoints on the Novy Undercover for?
-
The centre points indicate where the centre of the cooking zone is located and where the cookware should be placed for optimal positioning.
-
-
What worktop material is compatible with the Novy Undercover?
-
The Novy Undercover is exclusively designed for use with a 20 mm thick Dekton worktop by Cosentino. This material is durable, scratch and heat-resistant, and easy to clean.
You can choose from over 40 Dekton finishes: link.
-
-
Can I use other materials or thicknesses for the worktop with the Novy Undercover?
-
No, using other materials or thicknesses is not recommended. The Novy Undercover has been specifically tested and approved for use with 20 mm Dekton worktops. Using other materials may negatively affect performance and safety. Additionally, the 5-year warranty will be void if other materials or thicknesses are used.
-
-
What are the minimum cabinet dimensions for integrating a Novy Undercover?
-
The Novy Undercover fits into a 120 cm wide base cabinet without a partition, with a net internal dimension of 1140-1240 mm. The worktop must be at least 1380 x 600 mm (WxD), including a 90 mm overhang on both sides.
-
-
Is it normal for the centrepoints on the Novy Undercover not to be fully flush with the worktop?
-
Yes, the centrepoints protrude slightly (0.3mm) above the worktop. This design prevents water and dirt from seeping into the worktop.
-
-
Are additional cut-outs allowed in the same Dekton worktop where the Novy Undercover is installed?
-
No, additional cut-outs in the same Dekton piece are not allowed. However, such cut-outs can be made in a separate Dekton piece, which can then be seamlessly combined with the section containing the Novy Undercover.
-
-
Who installs the Novy Undercover?
-
The installation must be carried out by a professional kitchen installer. The electrical connection should be done by a certified electrician. The worktop is pre-fabricated to size by an approved stonemason.
-
-
How is the Novy Undercover installed?
-
The induction modules are mounted beneath the worktop using a fixing system attached to the side walls of the kitchen cabinet. Note that this is only possible in cabinets of 120 cm.
-
-
How is residual heat indicated on the Novy Undercover?
-
The Novy Undercover has subtle LED indicators on the worktop to signal whether a cooking zone is still hot. Additionally, residual heat is displayed on the Novy Controller, and an optional LED indication can project this information onto the kitchen floor for added safety.
-
-
Is the Novy Undercover safe to use?
-
Yes, the Novy Undercover is designed with multiple safety features, including a hob lock, automatic shut-off, overheating protection, and residual heat indicators. These features ensure a safe cooking experience, similar to traditional hobs.

The Dekton worktop is scratch and stain-resistant and easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild cleaning agents. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to preserve the surface finish.
More information:
-
-
How often should I clean the Novy Undercover worktop?
-
It is recommended to clean the worktop after each use to prevent the build-up of dirt and stains, thereby maintaining the worktop’s lifespan and appearance.
-
-
Are the centrepoints of the Novy Undercover prone to scratches?
-
Over time, scratches may appear on the centre points due to daily use of the appliance. This is normal and caused by moving cookware over the centre points. Importantly, this does not impact the functionality of the appliance.
-
-
How does the Novy Undercover induction hob work?
-
Hobs
-
Do you need special pots and pans for induction?
-
To cook on an induction hob you need pots and pans with a magnetic base. When these are in contact with the hob, a magnetic field is created which generates heat. Only the pot or pan heats up, while the rest of the zone remains cold.
If you want to know whether your pots and pans will work with induction, you can test this by holding a magnet against the base. If it sticks, your saucepan or frying pan is suitable for induction.
Types of pots and pans:
Pots and pans that are suitable: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, stainless steel with magnetic base, aluminium with magnetic base
Pots and pans that are not suitable: aluminium and stainless steel without a magnetic base, copper, brass, ceramic and porcelain
A few tips:
- Pots or pans that have already been used on other heat sources should be tested to ensure that the base is smooth.
- Pots or pans that are rough or have already been damaged may damage the glass
- Pots or pans must have a completely smooth base
- Some pots and pans buzz when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. That does not mean the appliance is faulty, and it does not affect their functioning at all.
-
-
What is the best way to clean my hob?
-
The following method should be used for cleaning toughened glass:
- Remove caked-on residues.
- Clean the glass with water and detergent and dry carefully.
- Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth if the surface is very dirty.
- If residues really cannot be removed, you can remove them with a glass scraper.
- Finally, you can use a glass cleaner to give the hob a glossy shine.
-
-
My induction hob makes a noise when cooking. Is this normal?
-
Noises can certainly occur when cooking on induction hobs. This is because the metal components in the base of the pot consist of multiple layers and vibrate. This usually occurs when using lower quality pots with glued bases. It differs from one pan to another and often reduces after cooking for a few minutes.
Some noises are specific to the technology, while others may be caused by the pans. Here is a summary:
Induction-related noises
Induction technology is based on the properties of certain metals when they are exposed to electromagnetic influences. As a result so-called eddy currents occur, which make the molecules vibrate. These vibrations are converted into heat. As a result, quiet sounds are made depending on the material that is used. The sound may depend on the type of base on your pan.
Humming
Humming sound like a transformer. This happens when you are cooking on a higher heat setting, and it is caused by the amount of energy being conveyed from the hob to the utensils. The sound will disappear or be quieter if you adjust the hob to a lower temperature.
Crackling soundThis sound occurs if the utensils are made from multiple layers of metal. The sound is caused by vibrations in the surfaces of the different layers of material that are in contact. This sound is caused by the cooking utensils and depends on their quality and the type of food being prepared.
Whistling soundThese sounds usually occur in cooking utensils made from multiple layers of material, and when two adjacent hobs are being used simultaneously on the maximum setting. The whistling sound will disappear or become quieter if you adjust the hob to a lower temperature.
Ventilator noiseTo ensure that the electronics work correctly, the temperature must not rise too high. The hob is therefore fitted with a ventilator, which works on different settings depending on the temperature. After the hob has been switched off, the ventilator continues to operate if the temperature is still too high.
-
-
How to determine the dimensions of your pots and pans for induction
-
- The cooking zones automatically adjust to the diameter of the pan to some extent.
- The base of the specific pot or pan must, however, have a minimum diameter (+/- 60%) in relation to the diameter of the chosen cooking zone.
- We recommend placing the pot or pan right in the middle of the cooking zone to get the best output from your hob.
- Ratio of pan diameter to element diameter
The ferromagnetic bottom is too far from the element:
- Ferromagnetism= this refers to substances such as iron, nickel and other substances that can be very strongly magnetised by quite weak magnetic forces
- This can reduce efficiency.
- The response time may be less good.
- Poor quality pots or pans:
- Water boils poorly on one side.
- The other side stays cold.
- This leads to poor cooking results.
- Bottom of the saucepan is hollow or has a deep logo stamp:
- Overheating occurs in areas that do come into contact with the glass.
- Poor cooking results.
- The temperature probe measures the wrong values.
- The safety maximum of 240°C is not reached in the middle of the pot or pan (or only after a long time).
- So the base can reach temperatures of 500°C and damage the electronics.
-
-
Other problems that occur with pots and pans for induction
-
- The ferromagnetic base is too far from the element:

- The response time may also not be as good.
- Poor quality pots or pans:
- Water does not boil well on one side.
- The other side stays cold.
- Gives poor cooking results.
