The kitchen is a special room in every home. There are special flavors that are attractive, and sometimes repulsive. Many housewives know firsthand the persistent smell of burnt food, runaway milk, fried fish.
Unpleasant odors penetrate from the kitchen to other rooms, are easily absorbed into the upholstery, wallpaper, clothes and textiles. Laundry or dry cleaning will help get rid of this problem. It is especially difficult to keep the dining area clean, since particles of fat and burning are able to adhere firmly to the surface of walls, ceilings, kitchen units, and lighting fixtures.
Kitchen cleaning
The owners have to spend a lot of time putting the room in order. In addition, household chemicals are used that cause additional harm to human health. The best and best solution to problems with smells, dirt, dust is the built-in cooker hood.
Device purpose
The basic principle of the hood is based on the active capture of odors, soot, air pollutants and their prompt removal. All harmful components are absorbed by the device, passed through the filter. As a result, absolutely clean air returns to the room. Depending on the technical characteristics, the device can have mechanical, touch control, various options for the intensity of work.
a brief description of
Built-in kitchen hoods are divided into two groups:
- flowing: all unpleasant odors are absorbed and removed outside the premises;
- recirculation: air is sucked in by the device, is cleaned and released back into the room.
For the practical use of space, many apartment owners install a built-in range hood directly into a hanging kitchen cabinet. The flow system consists of an additional air hose, which is necessary for the removal of polluted air. Installation of this device will require violation of the integrity of the wall and the organization of the ventilation system. The second type of hood does not require additional effort, just hang it above the stove and turn it on as needed.
Flow absorber
Recirculation device
The built-in model does not change the design idea, it looks aesthetically pleasing. The device is represented by a rectangular screen with a mesh surface. Some models have a telescopic unit to increase the area and power of absorption of contaminants. For small rooms, a compact flat hood is perfect, which can be installed to the bottom surface of the cabinets on the wall.
Selection indicators
When buying a built-in cooker hood, evaluate and study in detail the following device parameters:
- shape, size of structure, area of the exhaust module;
- number, modification of the filtration system;
- suction power, performance;
- convenience of the control panel, functionality;
- installation procedure;
- additional functions, modes.
A remarkable feature of the built-in hoods is the ability to completely hide in the kitchen, without attracting attention and without violating the design harmony. The devices are presented in classic color schemes, perfectly fit into the interior. Carry out a preliminary selection of the dimensions of the module in relation to the furniture set already installed or planned for the acquisition. In the absence of hinged shelves and cabinets, a vertical hood is suitable for customers.
Vertical hood
Experts recommend purchasing an exhaust module that exceeds the size of the hob.This opinion is based on the optimization of the process of absorption of vapors, burning, soot when using all the comforts of the furnace at the same time. If you do not want the hood to protrude from behind the bottom of the cabinet, choose a model with a telescopic screen. It will increase the suction area according to the situation.
When installing a built-in hood, it is important to consider the minimum distance to the heater. For electric stoves this is 60-70 cm, for gas appliances - 70-80 cm. Violating the installation requirements, the user creates a fire hazard situation and puts household members at risk.
In the built-in hood, a carbon filter is arranged in the foreground, which can neutralize unpleasant odors. Depending on the model, manufacturer, the absorption of fats, dust, soot is carried out by non-woven, sintepon modules. There are aluminum, steel filters that require regular cleaning. Disposable absorbers must be replaced at the end of their potential service life.
The efficiency of the device depends on the power and number of fans. Productivity of an element is calculated in relative units, for example, m3/hour. It is worth noting that powerful fans deliver additional discomfort to users due to loud noise.
The built-in hood is switched on by manual control: push-button, touch or slider. In the first and third options, the adjustment is made by moving a special slider or lever. On the electronic display, the selection is made at the touch of a hand, the signal of the remote control. Hoods with a touch panel are more convenient to use, but have a high price.
Professional, expensive appliances can be equipped with additional features:
- automatic inclusion: the hood starts at regular intervals without human intervention;
- residual stroke: movement of the fan at low power after turning off the device;
- additional monitor: ultramodern models allow connecting hoods with gadgets;
- weather information: the function in real time alerts users about the weather outside the window.
