Franke F42 SS/BK MATT Pendant Black - Cooker Hood combines elegant black and stainless steel design with powerful performance and was introduced with modern features to suit contemporary kitchens.

This pendant cooker hood offers a maximum extraction power of 720 m³/h and operates in recirculating mode, making it ideal for kitchens without an external duct. It features three speeds plus an intensive speed, giving you flexible ventilation from a quiet 53 dB on low to a powerful 73 dB on intensive.

Energy and lighting are efficient: the unit carries an A energy efficiency class, with annual energy consumption of 55.8 kWh and a standby power draw of only 0.49 W. The integrated lighting uses two bulbs for 230 lx illuminance and a lighting efficiency of 105 lux/W, rated A for lighting efficiency.

Filtration is handled by removable charcoal grease and anti-odour filters with a grease filtering efficiency (GFE) of 75.1% and fluid dynamic efficiency (FDE) of 30.9, ensuring cooking odours are reduced when recirculating and filters can be replaced or cleaned as needed.

Designed as a pendant hood, the Franke F42 has a compact 420 mm width and depth and an adjustable suspension height from 33 cm up to 130 cm, allowing flexible installation above islands or peninsulas. Controls are straightforward with button operation and a built-in display for quick settings.

With a pressure rating of 470 Pa and airflow at low speed of 270 m³/h, this hood balances strong extraction capability with efficient performance. Fluid dynamic efficiency class A and lighting efficiency class A further underline its quality in key performance areas.

Use cases include open-plan kitchens and island cooking where a stylish pendant unit is desired, flats without external ventilation ducts that require recirculating systems, and modern homes seeking energy-efficient lighting and extraction. The black and stainless aesthetic pairs well with contemporary appliances.
