A canopy vent hood, particularly for mounting below an over-the-range microwave oven. A triangulate-profiled nose element is located between first and second side panels. The nose element is translatable between a first position jutting out and downwardly over the range top from between the first and second side panels, to a second position jutting out over the range top from between the first and second side panels, to a third position completely retracted between the first and second side panels. The front edges of the first and second side panels determine a vertical plane. The nose member, which can be transparent, is substantially disposed forward of the vertical plane in the first position and substantially disposed behind the vertical plane in the third position. A method of preparing food and venting fumes from the range top employs the canopy vent hood mounted below an over- the -range microwave oven. The nose member is translated to the first position during cooking, and up to the second position while cooking if arm reach is needed. The third position is used after the cooking process for storing the nose member out of the way. |
