A hood for a cook top is controlled preferably by an electronic controller
through a touch keypad. The hood has front and side walls and attaches to
a back wall. It has an internal cavity and structure to restrict airflow
out of the hood. The structure also creates an air curtain. The curtain
traps and moves heated air and effluents upwardly off of the cook top. At
least one blower is located near the cook top for moving the air and
effluents. The hood may also have at least one: filter, sensor, duct,
lighting fixture, vent, display, and circuit board.
