Most of RørosHetta’s kitchen hoods are handcrafted by our skilled employees at the factory in Røros. This allows you to customize your kitchen hood to your desired dimensions, both width and height, and choose the material you prefer.

Our Sense hoods can be painted in any color with either standard or matte lacquer, delivered in your choice of PVD metal in brushed or high-gloss finishes. With our latest innovation, Frame Sense, we introduce another new material: Dekton stone slabs in 4 mm thickness.

We offer a 5-year warranty on all our hoods, which you can read more about here.

If you happen to get a scratch or damage on your hood, don’t worry—there are solutions available.

A kitchen hood is used in an environment that often becomes greasy and stained. To maintain the appearance and functionality of the hood, regular maintenance is essential and can easily be incorporated into your existing cleaning routines.

Material Selection and Treatment

Kitchen hoods with metal finishes are treated with an anti-fingerprint coating to improve durability and reduce visible fingerprints.

Hoods with a brushed metal finish can be treated with an impregnation agent after cleaning to extend the life of the PVD coating. Note that the color may darken slightly after application.

Cleaning Your Kitchen Hood

All kitchen hoods should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and mild soapy water. If grease sits for too long, it will adhere more firmly and become harder to remove.

The Dekton plates in Frame Sense are supplied by Cosentino. We recommend reading their cleaning and maintenance tips for Dekton surfaces here.

Products with high-gloss PVD metal require extra caution; these should not be cleaned with a microfiber cloth, as it may cause small scratches. If you get a scratch or damage in the metal, or if you simply wish to change the appearance of your kitchen hood, you can easily purchase a new cover for our Sense hoods manufactured after 2021.

Handling Scratches and Damage

If you get a scratch on a lacquered surface, it may be possible to repair it using touch-up paint available for order from us.

To ensure the correct color, we recommend taking a picture of the label inside the hood (remove the grease filters and possibly the carbon filter to find the label). Send us the serial number indicated, and we will assist you with the rest.

Replacing the Ventilation Duct

Kitchen hoods can have a lifespan of anywhere from 10 to 20 years (or even longer), depending on usage and maintenance. If you wish to replace your kitchen hood for any reason, we strongly recommend also replacing the flexible ventilation duct at the same time.

Over time, a significant amount of grease accumulates in the duct, which is both a fire hazard and unhygienic. A new duct will ensure better airflow and reduce the risk of fire.

By following these maintenance tips, you can extend the lifespan of your kitchen hood and ensure a cleaner and safer kitchen environment.
