The typical range hood as supplied by many builders removes heat, smoke and odor from the kitchen, with venting performance from 160 CFM to nearly 400 CFM. The blower may have 2 to 4 speeds and variable lighting levels. Standard hoods are also available in a non-vented version. These hoods are not vented to the outdoors. Instead the cooking odors and grease are captured, filtered and re-circulated back into the kitchen.
