Powerful kitchen hood

The kitchen is the most popular place in every home. This is where people spend the most time. Sitting with friends over a cup of coffee, dinners or dinners with the whole family, “pen samples” in various culinary delights - all this happens in the kitchen. The process of cooking should bring maximum pleasure. However, all fats and microparticles that evaporate into the air under the influence of high temperature regimes during cooking of food, do not disappear anywhere, but are deposited on furniture, household appliances, curtains, and even walls.

Today, the kitchen is often combined with the living room or dining room. Consequently, all odors and microparticles from food are distributed throughout the apartment. The central ventilation system (even in modern homes) cannot cope with these fats, soot and steam. Need something more powerful and effective. To help modern housewives come hoods.

Manufacturers of various types of home appliances offer the attention of modern buyers a wide range of kitchen hoods.

The main purpose of the hood is to get rid of the premises of smells, fats, steam and trace elements that are distributed during the preparation of food. The greater the power of the home appliance, the better the performance of the device.

Inside the kitchen hood there are special filters that are highly sensitive to odors and various fumes. By the method of forced ventilation, the hood draws from the air all the microelements and microparticles that got there during cooking. Depending on the type of air cleaning, kitchen hoods are of two types:

• recirculation (air gets inside the device, passes filtering through special cleaning filters, and then is released back into the space);
• flow-through (polluted air passes through the cleaning stage and returns back through the external ventilation system).
