What Our Experts Think
-
The Fisher & Paykel HD36 36″ Series 7 Telescopic Downdraft Range Hood offers a sleek, retractable ventilation solution ideal for island or open‑plan kitchens.
-
With a telescoping design it rises during cooking to effectively capture steam, grease and odours, then retracts when not in use—keeping the sight‑lines clean.
-
The stainless‑steel finish complements premium kitchen appliances, while the narrow depth (approx. 2 1⁄8″) helps minimize intrusion into cabinetry or counter space.
-
Controls are streamlined: a single on/off button paired with a slider fan‑speed control gives simple yet precise operation.
-
It’s particularly well suited for homeowners seeking high‑end design with functional performance—especially when an overhead hood would interrupt aesthetic flow.
Q&A
Q: What are the dimensions of the HD36?
A: Width is 36″, depth is approximately 2 1⁄8″, and the height adjusts between about 28 1⁄4″ and 42 1⁄4″.
Q: What kind of extraction does it support?
A: It supports ducted front or side extraction, and the manufacturer lists its “extraction type” as surface.
Q: How energy‑intensive is it?
A: The unit operates on 120 V at 60 Hz and draws a rated current of 15 A.
Q: Is it suitable for use with tall pots or very heavy cooking?
A: While its telescopic design improves capture compared to some standard downdrafts, users should evaluate actual ventilation pathway and ducting; downdrafts inherently face more challenge with large canopy pots than full sized overhead hoods.
Q: What type of maintenance or filters does it use?
A: This model uses stainless‑steel mesh grease filters which are removable and suitable for cleaning (such as in dishwasher or by hand) to maintain strong performance.
Maintenance Tips
-
Remove and clean the mesh grease filters frequently (e.g., monthly or per heavy‑use schedule) to ensure optimal airflow and grease capture.
-
Wipe down the stainless‑steel surfaces after cooking to help prevent staining or fingerprint accumulation; use a soft cloth and non‑abrasive cleaner compatible with stainless steel.
-
Check the telescopic mechanism periodically to ensure smooth raising/lowering; clear any obstruction or accumulation of debris in the slot or track.
-
Inspect flange or seal between the hood and countertop/cabinet cut‑out for any gaps or wear; ensure a snug fit to prevent cooktop splatter ingress and maintain neat finish.
-
For ducted installation: periodically inspect the ducting pathway for blockages, grease accumulation or obstructions which could reduce extraction efficiency.
