Abstract: The present invention is related to an extraction device (14) for removing air from an area above a cooking hob (12). The extraction device (14) comprises a suction arm (26), a fan and an outlet opening (34). The suction arm (26) includes a suction head (28), which comprises a suction opening (32), and a suction base (30), which comprises an air duct for conducting the air. The air duct is arranged downstream of the suction opening (32). The is configured to suck in the air from the area above the cooking hob (12) through the suction opening (32) and the air duct. The outlet opening (34) is configured to exhaust air. According to the invention, the suction arm (26) is centrally arranged or arrangeable in relation to the cooking hob (12) or is arranged or arrangeable midway between the lateral edges of the cooking hob (12).

Abstract: The present invention concerns an extraction device (14) for removing air from an area above a cooking hob (12), which comprises an air inlet opening (24), a fan (36) for aspirating air from the area above the cooking hob (12) through the air inlet opening (24), a filter (60) element and an outlet opening (30) for exhausting air. According to the invention, the filter element (60) is removably arranged in a filter seat (62) downstream of the air inlet opening (24) and is accessible through the air inlet opening (24). Support means or actuation means are included supporting or facilitating insertion into and/or removal from the filter seat (62). The support means or actuation means are arranged at and/or act on the filter element (60) in a direction at least partially opposite to the direction of insertion.
