Abstract
A kitchen island vent hood is provided which telescopes upwardly and downwardly and extends forwardly and rearwardly for use between operative and non-operative positions. In the non-operative position, the vent hood resides within a recessed area of the island, at a level slightly above the countertop of the island. The lift column of the vent hood assembly extends at approximately a 15° from vertical so as to position the vent hood over the cooking surface. The vent hood moves forwardly so as to cover the cooking surface and moves rearwardly for storage in the island recess.
