What our Experts Think

• Seamless ceiling-integrated design: The Faber STRTIS36SSNB is a 36" Stratus Isola island/ceiling hood designed to blend into the ceiling for a minimal, high-end kitchen look, keeping the focus on your cooking space instead of the ventilation system.
• Flexible modular ventilation system: This hood is a blower-ready platform, allowing you to choose the performance level you want (300, 400, 600 internal or up to 1200 CFM remote blower options), making it adaptable to different cooking styles and kitchen sizes.
• High-performance airflow options: When paired with a compatible blower, it can scale up to powerful 1200 CFM extraction, effectively handling heavy smoke, grease, and high-heat cooking environments.
• Perimeter aspiration efficiency: Uses a perimetric filter system that increases air velocity at the edges, improving capture efficiency while helping reduce perceived noise during operation.
• Smart comfort features: Includes 4-speed electronic control, delay shut-off, intensive boost mode, filter maintenance alerts, and 24-hour air refresh mode, designed for everyday convenience and cleaner indoor air.
• Premium lighting & usability: Equipped with LED lighting and remote control operation, improving visibility and allowing full control even in large island kitchen layouts.
• Design flexibility for modern kitchens: Suitable for island or ceiling installations (approx. 35"–72" above cooktop), making it ideal for open-concept luxury kitchen designs.
• Maintenance-friendly filtration: Features washable grease filters and built-in alerts to simplify upkeep and maintain consistent performance over time.
• Real-world takeaway: A high-end architectural ventilation solution focused on invisible design + scalable performance, best for users building premium kitchens where aesthetics, flexibility, and airflow power all matter equally.

Q&A

Q: What is it used for?
A: It removes smoke, steam, grease, and cooking odors from island or open kitchen cooktops while keeping a completely minimal, built-in ceiling look.

Q: Does it include a motor (blower)?
A: No. This model is a hood only. The blower is selected separately (internal, remote, or inline), typically ranging from 300 to 1200 CFM depending on cooking needs.

Q: What airflow options does it support?
A: It supports multiple configurations:

• Internal blowers: 300 / 400 / 600 CFM
• Remote blowers: 900 / 1200 CFM
  This lets you scale performance from normal cooking to heavy-duty kitchen use.

Q: What makes it different from regular island hoods?
A: Instead of a visible canopy, it uses a ceiling panel design with perimeter suction, so it looks like part of the ceiling while still capturing air efficiently.

Q: What are the key features?
A:

• Perimeter aspiration for stronger capture efficiency
• LED lighting with tunable color temperature
• 4-speed electronic controls
• Filter alarm and delay shut-off
• Wireless remote control
• Smart connectivity options (Faber Cloud / voice control in supported setups)

Q: What duct size does it use?
A: Typically a 6-inch round duct system, depending on blower configuration and installation layout.

Q: Is it good for heavy cooking?
A: Yes—when paired with 600–1200 CFM remote or inline blowers, it performs at a high-performance or even near-professional level.

Q: Who is it best for?
A: It’s ideal for luxury kitchens, island cooktops, and open-concept homes where design minimalism and strong ventilation are both priorities.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean grease filters regularly: Wash mesh filters every 1–2 months (more often for heavy cooking) to maintain strong airflow and prevent grease buildup that reduces suction.
• Wipe stainless steel ceiling panel: Use a soft microfiber cloth with mild soap, then dry immediately to prevent streaks and water spots.
• Follow grain direction: Always wipe in the direction of the stainless steel finish to preserve its brushed look and avoid micro-scratches.
• Check filter alarm indicator: Clean filters when the hood signals saturation to maintain optimal performance and airflow efficiency.
• Maintain perimetric intake area: Keep the perimeter suction slots free of grease so smoke capture remains efficient and quiet.
• Inspect duct or blower system: Ensure internal, in-line, or remote blower (IB/RB options) and ducting remain clear for full CFM performance (300–1200 CFM range depending on setup).
• Run hood during & after cooking: Turn on before cooking and let it run a few minutes after to fully remove steam and odors.
• Clean LED lighting gently: Wipe light bars carefully to maintain brightness without moisture entering electrical areas.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use bleach, ammonia, or abrasive pads on stainless steel or control components.
• Check mounting stability: Periodically ensure ceiling mounting hardware remains secure to prevent vibration or noise.
