Wandafzuigkap Whirlpool AKR 558/3 IX, aluminiumfilter, geluidsniveau: 65 dB

The Whirlpool AKR 558/3 IX is a wall-mounted extractor hood finished in stainless steel with an aluminium grease filter and ducted or recirculating installation options. It provides a maximum extraction rate of 428 m³/h and is intended for domestic kitchen ventilation. The unit has a fluid dynamic efficiency class E, grease filtering efficiency class C and an overall energy efficiency class D. It operates with a connected load of 146 W and a motor power of 140 W, while annual energy consumption is specified at 66.3 kWh. Two integrated LED lights of 3 W each provide task illumination over the cooking area. The hood includes a 150 mm exhaust connection diameter and its net weight is 11.9 kg.

Advantages

The stainless steel finish provides a durable surface that is easy to clean and integrates with a wide range of kitchen styles. The aluminium grease filter is washable and suitable for recirculating mode, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Dual LED lamps offer efficient, low‑consumption lighting for the cooking zone. The combination of ducted and recirculating installation options increases flexibility during installation and refurbishment projects.

Suitable for

• Residential kitchens requiring wall-mounted extraction
• Homes where flexible installation (ducted or recirculating) is needed
• Medium-cooking households where up to 428 m³/h extraction capacity is sufficient
• Kitchens where low-maintenance aluminium grease filtration is preferred

How to use

Mount the hood on a suitable load‑bearing wall following the manufacturer’s installation instructions and ensure the exhaust connection (150 mm) is compatible with ductwork if using ducted extraction. For recirculating installation, fit the aluminium grease filter and apply an optional charcoal filter according to local requirements. Switch on the hood before cooking to establish airflow, select the appropriate extraction speed for the cooking intensity, and use the integrated LED lights to illuminate the hob. Clean the exterior stainless steel surface with non‑abrasive cleaners and remove the aluminium grease filter regularly for washing to maintain performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, run the hood at a higher extraction setting during frying or heavy cooking and allow it to run for several minutes after cooking to clear residual fumes. Wash the aluminium grease filter at regular intervals (depending on cooking frequency) and check the ducting for obstructions when using ducted extraction. If using recirculation, replace any charcoal or odour filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
