Franke K-Link FCMA 90 C XS A Ceiling Hood is a stainless steel ceiling built-in kitchen hood designed to deliver powerful ducted extraction while blending discreetly into contemporary kitchens.

This ceiling hood offers a maximum extraction power of 520 m³/h and a boosted extraction mode reaching 720 m³/h, making it ideal for removing cooking fumes and odors in busy households. It operates with one integrated motor and three regular speeds plus an intensive speed for heavy-duty ventilation.

Energy performance is a strong selling point: the appliance holds an A+ energy efficiency rating on the A+++ to D scale, with an annual energy consumption of 39.6 kWh and a connected load of 136 W. The energy efficiency index (EEI) is 42.3, while power consumption when off is minimal at 0.49 W.

Lighting and visibility above the cooktop are excellent thanks to six integrated 1.1 W LED bulbs producing 750 lx at a color temperature of 4000 K. The lighting efficiency (LE) is 114 lux/W and the lighting efficiency class is A, ensuring bright, neutral illumination for precise cooking.

The grease filtration system uses aluminium filters with a grease filtering efficiency of 55.1% (class E), and the hood achieves fluid dynamic efficiency class A with an FDE of 35.2. Noise levels are comfortable during normal use, measured at 43 dB on low, 56 dB on medium and 59 dB on high, rising to 72 dB in the intensive boost mode.

Practical features include Wi‑Fi connectivity, a remote control, and a timer for programmed operation. The unit is built into the ceiling and measures 900 mm wide, 498.6 mm deep and a minimum height of 20.5 cm, finished in stainless steel for a clean, professional look.

Suggested use cases include open-plan kitchens that require discreet overhead ventilation, homes where energy efficiency is important, and busy family kitchens that benefit from the intensive boost mode during heavy cooking. The Franke K-Link FCMA 90 C XS A combines quiet everyday performance, strong boost extraction and efficient LED lighting to improve the cooking experience.
