Chimney extractor hood Kitchen: exhaust chimney in the interior

fireplace the hood for the kitchenPerhaps it is the most common embodiment of such equipment. After all its forms is reminiscent of old times, when food was prepared in the centers, and the vaults of wood stoves formed a large dome and smoothly flows into the chimney. It is because of this similarity dome hood got its second name. Imitation is often very conventional, yet it gives the kind of cozy kitchen, and even of quality, so that the universal love of this technique is quite understandable.

Features

Chimney hoods may have the form of wedges dialed rounded dome. They are rather cumbersome, but in a spacious room in retro style look really impressive, and the performance they have rather big. The modern interior fit model with an umbrella in the form of a truncated pyramid or cone. As a rule, they are not overwhelmed by the decor and do not attract too much attention, harmoniously fitting into the shape of the kitchen. These designs are the most affordable and unpretentious assortment of such equipment in the stores are always very wide.

Not so long ago appeared comfortable sloping hood chimney, which immediately caught the fancy of the hosts. Location of the air intake at an angle to the wall finally solved the problem of unpleasant headers, and an overview of the hob has improved markedly. Such models are more expensive than others, but in terms of convenience, they have no equal in operation.

Chimney hoods are usually mounted directly on the wall, at least - are attached to the ceiling, but this is the so-called insular variant, which is gradually released into a separate class. And the most expensive and rare are the angular model - they are not too in demand on the market, and therefore presents a very limited range of products from the most famous manufacturers. These rulers in general, there is everything you could wish for.

selection rules

Buying hood chimney is no different from selecting other models of kitchen appliances. There must comply with the same requirements:

• The width of the air intake - no less than the hob. Usually it is 60 cm, but can be found compact models for 50 or even 40 cm, if you have a small cooker 2-3 burners. On sale there are also huge hood with bell 80-100 cm for professional ovens with 6-8 burners.
• Power drawing - it should be sufficient for effective treatment of the total volume of air in the room. For the calculation it is necessary kitchen cubic content (or a combined space) multiplied by a factor 12. The resulting number - the minimum acceptable performance for your equipment. Add to it another 10%, and you can safely choose a model in this parameter, not overpaying for excess capacity.
• type of management. For the most simple and relatively inexpensive extracts enough elemental push button or slide mechanism. But if you really need a functional model, it makes sense to fork out equipment with the touch panel or remote control.
• Shumoproizvoditelnost - not unimportant factor, especially if the kitchen combined with living space studios. Here, the quieter the better. But really quiet operation without power limitations can only expensive imported drawing. The average rate of the second stage by about 40 dB, and the transition to the turbo-mode noise level may increase up to 60-70 dB. If you want to find something more quiet, look for a model with two fans.
• Additional functions. The backlight is even in the cheapest designs and options such as a timer or automatic on / off can be selected solely for reasons of their own convenience. But remember that each additional function increases the cost of the equipment.

Overview manufacturers

Slightly better build quality, but also affordable enough stretching. If you want to save money, but to buy a beautiful and reliable model, worth prosherstit range of this particular brand. Choice is great both in the budget and in the middle price segment. But complaints about the performance of these devices is not seen.

From expensive models can be distinguished Hansa OKC 6726 IH inclined type. It looks gorgeous, and most importantly - its shiny black surface does not remain fingerprints. Thick (620 m³/ H) and with very quiet until the third speed. On the fourth her, of course, already heard well.

They should be replaced immediately galogenki. Price model about 20 thousand.

Gorenje

Also a very popular brand of reliable kitchen appliances. Attractive design is paid a lot of attention, and the range is wide. But the price is 1.5-2 times higher than the cost of similar goods from Elikor.

All this is controlled with an electronic touch pad. But Elikor have suspiciously similar model for 16 thousand rubles, and thus more serious characteristics. Although shumoproizvoditelnosti Gorenje, of course, comfortable.

Zigmund & Shtain

Interesting, but not too popular in our brand kitchen appliances discourages some of their costs. The manufacturer's range are models worth over 30 thousand rubles - K219.91 series. But this is a powerful drawing on 900-1000 cubes with touch controls, remote control and a host of additional functions. However, you can find the model simpler and more affordable price.

Mounting dome models

Chimney hoods often connected to the pipeline, which removes from the kitchen exhaust air through a ventilation shaft or directly into the street. Therefore, to any model you will need to purchase a prefabricated kit of separate sections or corrugated pipe of desired length.

Installation of the technology itself imply its wall mounting. Here it is important to sustain the distance from the dome to the hob:

• 50-55 cm - for electric stoves;
• 60 cm - for gas furnaces.

Exact figures are given in the manufacturer's instructions, and neglect its recommendations are not worth it. If the chimney hood is too low, it, first of all, it will be inconvenient to use, and secondly, high risk poplavit some elements of equipment or spoil its appearance. But reinsured and bullying kupol higher than normal, too, can not, or will simply become ineffective hood and grease particles, steam and soot will start to scatter around the kitchen.

Can immediately get rid of a set of hardware that goes along with an extract - usually flimsy shurupchiki from this set are unreliable. And if you have even a powerful wall of reinforced concrete or brick, this place can not do without dowels.

By the way, the owners of gas stoves often have to deal with the mounting problem of poorly positioned drainage line. If it interferes with the hood set at the correct height, it is necessary first to fix the wall box of powerful boards and corners, and by him to fasten the dome. But it is better not to complicate your life and simply call gasman to connect the hose and moved the stove to a different location.

The procedure works:

1. Make marks on the wall, marking the lower border of exhaust location above the cooking surface.
2. Identify and drill holes for fasteners, put them in the plastic anchors.
3. Screw in the upper pair of sockets, two anchor bolts, hang on to them the hood, checking the correct installation on the level.
4. Lower the body is sewn to the wall through the mounting holes through another pair of screws.
5. establish airbox, Securing it to the wall or ceiling, so that when the extract will not cause vibration and chatter. Withdraw the tube end of the shaft or into the prepared hole in the window.
6. Connect the top outlet of the dome with a vent stack, securely seal all joints and seams.
7. Set the socket in a convenient location for connecting the appliance, turn on the fireplace hood to the network and check its operation.

Dome hood models are ideal for those who have the kitchen area is quite large - from 9 square meters and above. First, this technique is overall, and in a small room just did not look. Secondly, like drawing a large capacity are always calculated and just to clean up serious amounts of air.
