Electrolux 60cm Traditional Chimney Cooker Hood Black | LFU226K

Electrolux LFU226K 60cm Traditional Chimney Cooker Hood — Black

Standard chimney extraction, in the black finish that suits modern dark kitchens

Dark kitchens have taken over from all-white ones as the popular look in the last few years — charcoal cabinets, matte black taps, dark quartz worktops. A stainless-steel hood in that setting can look out of place. The Electrolux LFU226K is the same chimney hood as the LFU226X but in a clean black finish, so it disappears into a dark run of cabinets rather than fighting them. Part of our cooker hoods and integrated appliances range.

Why the black finish makes sense

The black finish carries the darker kitchen palette right through to the hob area — it also hides splashes and finger marks better than stainless steel. Same 272 m³/h motor, same convertible ducted/recirculation install, same dishwasher-safe grease filters as the LFU226X, just in a different colour. If you're doing a full black kitchen with matching hob, oven and taps, you'll find the range in our full home appliances collection.

Questions we get asked

Q: Is it exactly the same as the stainless steel version?
A: Yes — same motor, same specifications, same dimensions. Only the exterior finish differs (LFU226K black, LFU226X stainless steel).

Q: How do I clean the black finish without scratching it?
A: Warm soapy water and a soft cloth for daily wipes. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals; they'll dull the finish over time.

Q: Are the LED bulbs replaceable?
A: Yes — they're standard 3W E14 LED bulbs. Disconnect the power at the isolator first, let the bulb cool, then swap it out.
