Abstract: A stove hood, particularly useful for disposition over a stove abutting a kitchen wall, to capture smoke and other gasses arising from the stove heating elements. The hood includes a chamber, one side having a screened opening which is closeable, and a roof which extends from the top of the chamber over the stove heating elements. That portion of the roof defining the top of the chamber is provided with a vent which may be opened or closed, and communicates with a duct leading to a gas discharge area outside the residence. A spray head is disposed within the chamber and connected to a source of fluid under pressure. The floor of the chamber is provided with a drain. When the side opening of the chamber is closed by a plate-like member, the chamber and the screening over such opening, may be cleaned by turning on the fluid source to the spray head. Fluid falling to the bottom of the chamber passes out of the drain to a waste pipe or to a recycling unit.

Abstract: A stove hood with filters which may be flushed clean when desired, the hood having a roof, end members and a bottom trough which define at least one rectangular opening through which stove gaseous medium passes through a filter upward to an exhaust duct. A closurable member is provided for each rectangular opening and within the hood volume is provided a spray head directed to each filter and supplied with cleaning fluid under pressure when brought into the spray head via a conduit upon activation of control means. The fluid which is passed through the filter or filters is caught in the trough and discharged either into a sewer line or recycled for return cleaning of the filters.
