Kitchen hoods

Every housewife knows that cleaning the kitchen greasy soot, which accumulates literally on everything, accumulating with every cooking is not easy. Soot is mixed with dust, and the scurf is very unsightly and difficult to remove. Because of this, repairs have to be done regularly, otherwise it will be just unpleasant to enter the kitchen. This is exactly the situation when the air in the kitchen is cleaned only with the help of a traditional ventilation system. But the kitchen hood can help cope with this trouble.

A kitchen hood will help solve many kitchen problems: the furniture and the entire surface of the kitchen will be reliably protected from greasy subsidence, and smells and any fumes will be trapped and removed. As a result, the kitchen will always be clean and fresh. However, before you buy a kitchen hood, ask for extensive information on this issue and make the right choice.

An exhaust hood placed above the cooking surface and effectively treating steam and polluted air is already a rather familiar accessory in a modern apartment or in a private house. The peculiarity of these devices is their high power and at the same time this small noise effect. Hoods come in different types, but each of them has its advantages and will clean your kitchen from polluted air and odors.

Advantages of kitchen hoods:

• The kitchen interior with an extractor acquires a certain lightness and sophistication, especially since the design of kitchen extracts becomes more and more attractive every year.
• Installing the hood is a simple and short process, you can easily cope with this task yourself.
• The control mode is constantly being improved, today the hoods have from 3 to 5 speed switches.
• In the newest models there are a lot of additional functions: from the timer with automatic shutdown to the sensor that monitors the dirtyness of filters.

Thanks to manufacturers, kitchen hoods today surprise us with features in the design, and with their design, so it is becoming more and more difficult to choose one. Extracts are distinguished:

1. ceiling hoods installed in the center of the kitchen, above the stove;
2. wall, in a different way, overhead - are installed directly above the stove;
3. Mortise or cassette - compact devices with a narrow working panel, which, if necessary, can be hidden in the wall or in the kitchen furniture. Such a compact design will fit into the interior of any kitchen, without violating its stylistics;
4. corner hoods are installed in the corner of the kitchen.

1. buttons (functions are activated after clicking on a particular button);
2. touch control panel (it is enough to touch buttons without pressing them down);
3. slider (slider mechanical switch).

1. circulating (the air is cleaned through the filter and returns to the kitchen);
2. flow-through (steam and unpleasant odors are removed to the area of ​​the ventilation system and enter the mine).

Kitchen hoods are:

Will be suitable for kitchen with the smooth and refined lines and surfaces. They differ:

1. air circulation, which is cleaned - it occurs at the optimum speed;
2. high performance;
3. light weight, because it is the most economical form in terms of material consumption;
4. compactness;
5. a variety of colors;
6. can be mounted on any surface, even on the ceiling.

This hood, equipped with a protective device that prevents the rotation of the air flow, that is, reverse thrust. The valve will let air through in the right direction, and the reverse movement will brake. The main advantage of such valves - in their automation.

The equipment of an electric extract may be different and it works in two modes according to the type of cleaning of combustion products.

The attachment point of the tabletop hood is the hob. The hood module is located between the stove itself and the grill. The air is purified the better, the closer is the hood from the source of combustion.

In contrast to the full-size structures, the telescopic hood does not select a part of its space from a small kitchen, because for the most part it is mounted in a hanging cabinet and it does not require much space. To start working the hood, the narrow exit panel can be easily extended.

This is a relatively new form of kitchen hoods, the advantage of which is in the small size of their width, therefore any space will be suitable for their installation.

By the hoods of products of combustion from retro-style gas stoves include models built-in and trapezoid. These are steel models with a smooth contour. Today, manufacturers are increasingly giving their modern models an unusual shape, reminiscent of this style. For example, the hood may look like a radio in a spectacular color scheme.

Rectangular kitchen hoods are strict and elegant lines, concise forms and modern design. They are most often made of tempered glass or high quality steel.

These hoods combine the functionality with modern technical equipment, they become more popular every year and are ideal for a kitchen with straight shapes, decorated in a minimalist style.

Horizontal hood is characterized by simplicity of design and ease of installation. From here their low cost and big popularity among all extracts for kitchen.

The vertical hood, unlike the horizontal one, cannot boast of its practicality, it has a design in the foreground, but the flow-through vertical hood that brings the products of combustion to the outside is also quite effective.

Design thought can turn a kitchen hood into a key element of the interior throughout the kitchen space. Some of the modern models are overshadowed by the brightness of the facade of the headset in the kitchen, and unusually decorated kitchen apron. The best effect is obtained when both kitchen appliances and the hood itself are combined with each other and look harmonious. Many of the modern hoods are capable of misleading their design, which you cannot immediately guess that they are ordinary household appliances.

When choosing a kitchen hood, they often turn to traditional colors, in which all household appliances are usually made. These are black, white and beige shades. But as for the kitchen hoods, they are offered in a wide variety of colors. After all, often this device is selected for kitchen furniture or choose a color in accordance with other wishes, so the kitchen hood can be found in red and silver-gray, and sand, and burgundy colors, and many other shades.

The stainless steel hood is considered ideal. It does not absorb dirt, and it is easy to wash it, and is not afraid of scratches.

If the hood is made of ordinary steel, then it will be more affordable for the price. But such a product is worth to paint, and use the best powder version. This coating will be a little rough to the touch and not very shine, but stronger than the usual paint.

There are hoods and with combined surfaces of glass and steel. They will harmoniously fit into the kitchen of English, classic and retro style. Here it will be appropriate and glass washing.

When purchasing a kitchen hood, pay attention to the availability of accessories:

1. carbon filters;
2. air duct;
3. installation kit;
4. power plug;
5. check valve for exhaust outlet.

In addition, you need to carefully consider all the recommendations that are indicated by the manufacturer, because it may turn out that washing is good in all respects, but it is not suitable for the conditions of your kitchen. Take care also to purchase all the necessary additional materials and accessories.

According to the principle of operation, the hoods vary. Flow-through hood - more reliable and more productive. Its effectiveness depends on the width of the outlet. The air duct can be hidden behind the trim elements, and the extractor itself can be on top of the kitchen cabinet and thus practically does not take up space.

The recirculation hood works on special filters and is the simplest and most inexpensive device, but inefficient, and the filters need to be changed frequently.

Whichever hood you choose, no one is immune from such a situation when the device suddenly ceased to turn on, or the air masses are not pulled out of the kitchen, but on the contrary, are drawn into it. In this case, the hood should be disassembled and try to fix it. Great complexity in breakdowns usually does not happen, since the device is rather simple in its construction.

Choosing a kitchen hood, the first thing you pay attention to is its size. The hood, first of all, must overlap the cooking surface, otherwise it will not just fall into all the products of combustion.

Another important parameter is device performance. Information on the volume of air pumped through the devicemust be provided by the manufacturer in the enclosed instructions. For average Russian cuisine, a minimum of 250 cu. m / h, if the performance of the hood below this rate, then it will be bad to pull the products of combustion.

Another important factor in the work of the kitchen hood is the noise it produces during work. Many companies have low noise exhaust in their products, isolating the sound from the engine, replacing the blades' shape - and all this significantly reduces the noise level.

The kitchen hood can not only clean the air, but also work as a lighting device. Lamps are placed in the back of the case, and the light itself can change its intensity.

The presence of an automatic switch-on set via the control panel is also important for the correct choice of the kitchen hood. This addition will provide a selection of programs for the full cooking cycle of a dish.Such hoods, even of small size, will cost more than ordinary large hoods.

In any case, modern kitchen cannot do without a household kitchen hood, and which one to choose is a personal matter for everyone.

Where to fix the hood and how you should think after the issue with security is resolved, and for this you need to ground this device.

According to the rules, the hood must be installed taking into account the norm of the distance between the plate and the hood itself and the tight connection of all the elements that make up the structure. Sometimes during installation, additional connecting adapters may be required.

Works are performed in a certain sequence. The cutout for mounting the exhaust hood is better to hide in the lower part of the cabinet; there is a space under the air duct at the top of the cabinet. Where the hood body is connected to the duct, sealing is not recommended, because during operation the duct will have to be removed more than once to check for contamination and clean if necessary.Where the pipe for removal of air mass is attached, it needs to be closed with a hose clamp for strength.

It happens that the devices look very similar, and their price is different, and it is visually quite difficult to understand what is the difference? This is what the cost of the kitchen hood depends on:

• for the cheapest models, the case will be made of plastic, and the parts will be made of metal. Includes only one fan with 2 or 3 switching speeds. This is a low-power hood with lighting through an incandescent lamp;
• The model, which case is made of tempered glass, stainless steel or aluminum - is more expensive. Incandescent bulbs replaced by halogen, performance is much higher than the models at the lowest price;
• hoods at high prices are usually made of expensive wood, they are equipped with powerful fans, numerous filters and are designed for additional options.
