La Cornue hood filter and duct service
Faded suction with a motor that still sounds fine is almost never the motor. Baffle filters with a grease capture system are dishwasher safe, and the 600 CFM figure is specified against an unobstructed six-inch duct — eight on the inserts. Most of this job is the air path.

How this visit actually goes
The same order every time, so nothing is opened and nothing is charged before you have seen the figure and said yes.
-
01
Pull the baffles
Saturated baffles are the commonest complaint on this appliance and the cheapest to fix.
-
02
Follow the duct
Length, crushes, elbows, a seized backdraft damper, a termination cap full of a decade of grease. A coastal roof cap is a salt trap.
-
03
Measure the flow as found
So the improvement is a number rather than a claim.
-
04
Clean or replace the baffles
Dishwasher safe by design, and saturated more often than anyone expects in a kitchen with this range under it.
-
05
Free the damper and the termination
A seized backdraft damper and a greased-up roof cap undo a healthy blower.

The hood over a La Cornue is not an accessory bought to match. A motorized Château hood starts at $17,400 for the 90 and runs past $25,000 for the Grand Palais 180, it is made in the same enamels and trims as the range, and it does real work: a 600 CFM blower on a four-speed variable motor, baffle filters with a grease capture system, three 20-watt lights and a remote. When one stops, the kitchen it was built for stops working properly.
- Motorized Château hoods, island hoods and inserts, plus the CornuFé collection
- 600 CFM blower, four-speed variable motor, baffle filters, remote control
- A hood is finished to match the range — the enamel is part of the repair

About La Cornue hood filter and duct service
About airflow, which is where most hood problems live
Faded extraction with a motor that still sounds healthy is almost never the motor. The 600 CFM figure is specified against an unobstructed six-inch duct — eight on the inserts — and the baffle filters with their grease capture system are dishwasher safe, so the first fix is frequently free. After the baffles come the duct run, a seized backdraft damper and a termination cap which, on a coastal roof, is a salt and grease trap. Flow is measured as found and proved afterwards.

Before you book
Questions about La Cornue hood filter and duct service
How often should the baffles be cleaned?
Over this range: every four to six weeks with real use, monthly if you grill or use the plaque regularly, and the channels and capture tray a few times a year. If yours have been done twice a year, the hood has been running well below its rating for most of its life and will feel like a different appliance afterwards.
Would a bigger blower help?
Rarely, and it is usually the wrong money. A restricted duct limits the flow, and a bigger fan against the same restriction is louder rather than stronger. Fix the path and measure it.
