Let's assume that all disputes and doubts about what kind of exhaust you need are already solved.
Where the air will go - to the ventilation shaft or, passing through the filter, returns in the cleaned state back to the kitchen, is already a closed question.
All measurements were made and the productivity of the hood was determined.
Then it remains to solve the most important task - installing the hood over the gas stove. Let's figure out how best to do it.
What should I do before installing?
To ensure that the hood is efficient and safe to operate, you must install it correctly.
The first thing to consider is a separate electrical outlet, and the hood itself is grounded to prevent the engine from burning out in the event of a voltage drop.
Now it is necessary to determine the height of the suspension of the kitchen hood. As a minimum height, experts recommend 65 cm for gas stoves and at least 47 cm for electric cookers.
Installing the hood in the kitchen is not so difficult to make sure we recommend watching this video.

The upper value is not limited, but it should be remembered that the lower the hood above the plate, the more effectively the air is removed above the plate, and increasing this distance will require increasing the drawing power several times.
It is also necessary to take into account the growth of those who will more often use the hood, in order to conveniently reach the control buttons.
Even at the selection stage, you must take into account the width of the hood. It should be equal to the width of the plate or be larger.
And at installation the plate should be precisely under an extract without mixes in the parties.
How to properly install the hood above the gas stove?
Installation of the hood in the kitchen is reduced, as a rule, to hanging it on the wall, so you need to make precise measurements, apply accurate markings with a level and a template and carefully drill holes in the wall and drive dowels into them.
Then, the supports are installed, bolted and the exhaust is installed. Using the adjusting bolts, install it strictly in a horizontal position.
An important factor is the installation of the air extraction system, it is worth paying attention to the following: the duct for the kitchen hood should be of short and straight lengths, the number of knees should be minimal and when changing the direction of the pipe you need to use a knee with a large bending radius.

Pay attention also to the internal surface of the air vent - it should be smooth.
It is better to use boxes of thick-walled PVC( round or rectangular).
Installing a hood above a gas stove requires certain skills and knowledge, as well as special measurements to determine airflow and exhaust performance after installing the air vent system, so you should use the services of professionals.
