RANGE HOOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a range hood capable of performing an energy-saving operation by detecting steam or smoke directly and operating with an optimum amount of ventilation air.SOLUTION: The range hood includes: a thermoelectromotive force type temperature sensor 11 as temperature detection means for detecting temperature by the area unit in which a top plate 10 of a heating cooker 8 arranged below is divided into a plurality of areas; cooking utensil position detection means 12 for detecting a position of a cooking utensil on the heating cooker 8; a thermistor 9 as ambient temperature detection means capable of detecting ambient temperature of the heating cooker 8; a microcomputer (a)13 as adjustment means for sending the amount of exhaust air of an exhaust fan 5 determined by the temperature of the cooking utensil calculated based on the temperature of the area unit with respect to the operation of the exhaust fan 5 determined by control means 7, to the control means 7; and a microcomputer (b)14 as correction means for sending a signal for adjusting the amount of exhaust air of the exhaust fan 5 by grasping temperature distribution of the top plate 10 of the heating cooker from the temperature of the area unit, to the control means 7.
