A defining feature of the glass hood is its especially flat design. The excellent performance of the hood can be enhanced even further by angling the front panel when the vapors produced by cooking are especially intense. When used in the HomeConnect environment, the appliance can also be controlled remotely from a smart device or using special cooktops. The performance is controlled by a sensor in automatic mode. Ambient lighting can be fitted to the hood to set the mood in the kitchen. The appliance can be operated in both recirculation and extraction mode.
