<abstract id="abst" lang="en">
<p id="pa01" num="0001">The present invention relates to a fume extraction and/or filtration hood (1), in particular for a household kitchen, comprising:<br/>
- a chimney (10) having a hollow interior and comprising lateral walls (11), a back wall (12) and a front wall;<br/>
- an inlet section (20) through which fumes flow into the chimney (10);<br/>
- a motor fan (30) accommodated in the chimney (10) opposite to the inlet section (20);<br/>
- an extraction volume (40) placed between the lateral walls (11) and the motor fan (30);<br/>
- a partition element (60) placed between the motor fan (30) and the inlet section (20), the partition element (60) comprising a base (61) facing toward the motor fan (30) and an apex (62) oriented toward the inlet section (20).</p>
<p id="pa02" num="0002">According to the invention, the apex (62) has an angle of less than 40°.
