An over-the-range hood, commonly referred to as a range hood or vent hood, is a specialized kitchen ventilation appliance installed directly above a cooktop or stove. Its primary purpose is to capture and remove airborne grease, combustion smoke, steam, heat, and unpleasant cooking odors by drawing them up through aluminum or stainless steel mesh filters. Depending on the model, a range hood either exhausts these pollutants completely outside the home through ductwork or filters the air through activated charcoal filters before recirculating the cleaned air back into the kitchen space.
