External Motor Ceiling Hoods

ViandPro External Motor Ceiling Cooker Hoods

External Motor Ceiling Cooker Hoods provide a discreet and effective extraction solution for modern kitchens. Designed to sit flush within the ceiling, these extractors eliminate the need for a traditional suspended cooker hood, creating a clean, spacious and uninterrupted appearance above the cooking area.

The ViandPro External Motor Ceiling Hood range includes the Sotto and Silencio models, both available in Black and White finishes. Featuring remotely positioned motors, multiple extraction speeds, integrated lighting and convenient remote controls, these hoods combine contemporary styling with practical everyday performance.

Why Choose an External Motor Ceiling Cooker Hood?

Unlike conventional cooker hoods with built-in motors, an External Motor Ceiling Hood uses a separate motor unit positioned away from the extractor itself. This arrangement helps reduce motor noise within the kitchen while maintaining effective extraction of cooking fumes, grease and unwanted odours.

External Motor Ceiling Hoods are particularly suited to contemporary and open-plan kitchens where maintaining a quiet, comfortable environment is important.

By positioning the extractor within the ceiling, the cooking area remains visually uncluttered, making these hoods an attractive alternative to traditional island and chimney cooker hoods.

ViandPro Sotto 90cm External Motor Ceiling Hood

The ViandPro Sotto features a contemporary rectangular design with a generous 900mm Width and 500mm Depth, providing effective extraction coverage above the cooking area.

Designed for Flush Ceiling Installation, the Sotto integrates discreetly into the surrounding ceiling while offering practical ventilation for everyday cooking.

Available in Black and White, the Sotto complements a wide range of modern kitchen interiors, from minimalist monochrome designs to bright, open-plan living spaces.

Its External Motor System helps minimise motor noise within the kitchen, making it particularly suitable for homes where cooking, dining and entertaining areas share the same space.

ViandPro Silencio 90cm External Motor Ceiling Hood

The ViandPro Silencio offers a slimmer alternative, featuring a 900mm Width and 320mm Depth.

Its streamlined proportions make it an excellent choice for kitchens where a more compact ceiling extractor is preferred without compromising on contemporary styling.

Like the Sotto, the Silencio incorporates an External Motor System, providing effective extraction while helping reduce noise within the cooking environment.

Available in Black and White Finishes, the Silencio offers a sophisticated solution for modern kitchens requiring discreet, ceiling-integrated ventilation.

Extraction Speeds and Booster Function

Both the ViandPro Sotto and Silencio feature Three Extraction Speeds and a Booster Function, allowing ventilation to be adjusted according to cooking requirements.

Lower extraction speeds are suitable for lighter cooking, while higher settings provide increased ventilation when preparing meals that generate more steam, smoke or cooking odours.

The Booster Function operates at maximum speed for five minutes before automatically returning to the highest standard extraction setting.

This provides additional extraction when required without the need to manually reduce the fan speed afterwards.

Convenient Remote Control and Integrated Lighting

ViandPro External Motor Ceiling Hoods feature convenient Remote Control Operation, allowing extraction speeds and lighting to be adjusted without reaching up to the ceiling.

The integrated lighting illuminates the cooking area below, providing additional visibility when preparing meals.

Both models also include a practical 5-Minute Automatic Shut-Off Timer, allowing the extractor to continue operating briefly after cooking before switching off automatically.

These features make everyday operation straightforward while maintaining the clean, minimalist appearance of the kitchen.

Ducted Extraction with an External Motor

The ViandPro Sotto and Silencio are designed for Ducted Extraction, using an External Motor System to remove cooking fumes and odours from the kitchen.

Both models feature a 150mm Extraction Outlet, with the installation instructions detailing the connection to the external motor through suitable ducting.

The motor is installed separately from the ceiling hood, allowing the extraction system to operate without housing the motor directly above the cooking area.

Careful planning of the ducting route is important to ensure efficient airflow and reliable extraction performance.

Choosing Between Sotto and Silencio

Although both models offer similar functionality, their dimensions make them suitable for different kitchen layouts.

The Sotto provides a deeper extraction canopy, making it suitable for kitchens where additional coverage above the cooking surface is preferred.

The Silencio offers a slimmer profile, making it an attractive choice where a more compact ceiling-mounted extractor is required.

The most suitable model will depend on the hob dimensions, available ceiling space and overall kitchen design.

Planning an External Motor Ceiling Hood Installation

Installing an External Motor Ceiling Cooker Hood requires careful consideration of the ceiling structure, ducting arrangement and motor location.

Before purchasing, consider the following:

• Ceiling Space: Ensure sufficient space is available to accommodate the extractor housing.
• Ceiling Cut-Out: The Sotto requires approximately 865mm x 465mm, while the Silencio requires approximately 865mm x 285mm.
• External Motor Location: Identify a suitable position for the motor outside the kitchen.
• Ducting Requirements: Plan the extraction route using suitable ducting and the required connections.
• Installation Height: Follow the manufacturer's recommended installation distances.
• Electrical Connections: Ensure suitable electrical provision is available for both the extractor and external motor.
• Ceiling Support: Confirm that the ceiling structure can safely accommodate the appliance.
• Maintenance Access: Allow convenient access for regular Grease Filter cleaning and servicing.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure the extractor operates safely and efficiently.
