Hood for the kitchen 60 cm: on which the consumer's choice is based
The first and, apparently, the most important criterion for choosing a kitchen hood 60 cm is its productivity (m3 / year). It is he who determines whether this hood is able to cope with its tasks or not. In the product passport, the manufacturer indicates the area of the room, for which its specific model is designed. Knowing the area and height of the room, you can easily determine the volume of your kitchen. And given: multiplicity of air exchange - 10-12 cycles per hour, and the required power reserve 25-30%, should simply multiply the value of the volume by 10 and on 1,3 - this is the optimal value of the productivity you need. Weak hoods are not able to cope effectively enough with the tasks of air exchange and exhaust. And more powerful - unjustifiably expensive in terms of economy and feasibility.
Power consumption and energy efficiency - in fact, these are the two main parameters, to which you should pay attention when choosing a hood for the kitchen. Not a secret, which removes the same volume of air, different devices consume different amounts of energy. Example, both gas cooking models of one production of Elikor Epsilon 60 і Silver Storm 60 equally consumed 225 W, while the first distills 430 cubes per hour, and the other - 650. This variation of operating parameters is due to differences in the applied design solutions, ways to capture and generate a stream. Therefore, their efficiency differs significantly, although the price is about the same.
Noise level - the lower its value, the more comfortable you feel. Constant noise, even insignificant - interferes, distracts and irritates. Unfortunately, create completely silent or completely quiet hoods , designers and engineers have not yet succeeded. Experts do not recommend choosing a hood, whose noise exceeds the threshold in 70 dB, even if a built-in hood is selected.
Operating modes - there are two options, it is the removal of air to the outside, or its recirculation indoors. In the first variant the air duct is connected to an extract, which is purchased and mounted separately. And in the second - the kitchen hood without an air duct allows you to clean the air inside the room, without removing it outside. In this mode, the need for an air duct is eliminated, and it is not actually involved, which is especially economical in the cold autumn-winter period. Removing large amounts of warm air requires additional costs for heating cold, enters from the street. Each of the modes has its own filtering system.
That's why filters are, apparently, one of the main structural elements, which affects the efficiency of the whole unit and comfort in the work area. Today, two types are used: basic rough cleaning (mesh of steel or aluminum) absorbs fats, and variable carbon fine cleaning (with active absorbent properties) for recovery, removal of odors and fine particles. Mesh should be periodically washed from dirt, and coal - only to replace new ones after resource development.
When connecting the exhaust duct to the mine ventilation system or when taking it outside, it is necessary to provide in advance the installation of an anti-check valve, which prevents outside air from entering the room when switched off. Not all models are equipped with this device.
In most cases, buyers often forget and completely miss the safety of working with existing gas heaters with an open combustion chamber.: flowing (speakers) and cumulative (boilers). In fact, this is a very important point. The danger is, that the hood works together with this equipment, can cause back draft and carbon monoxide (SO) from the chimney back into the room. Similar requirements, required, must be indicated by the manufacturer in the product passport, but often, Unfortunately, often ignored and present in an implicit or veiled form.
Design, the form and constructive execution of extracts are presented in a big variety: classic domed, T-shaped, with glass, hinged, fully built-in, visor and country (country style). The color scheme is quite extensive and diverse, and allows you to successfully fit into the interior. The most popular colors:
- non-aging classic - white, beige, ivory, red, brown and black;
- modern style techno - polished stainless steel, silvery, chromium, matte graphite, bronze, copper and gold.
Types of fastening and installation of an extract
According to the type of mounting and installation of kitchen hoods are divided as:
- Fully built-in - installed in a wall cabinet or dome of a decorative fireplace dome, in rare cases, on the desktop in close proximity to the hob. Equipped with sliding or stationary bottom panel, which significantly increases the cross-sectional area of the air fence, and facilitates management.
- Wall - with different mounting options on the wall.
- Flat suspended - mounted under a wall cabinet or shelves above the stove.
- Corner - originally designed for the operation of the corner zone.
- Island - attached to the ceiling in the area of the so-called "island" (when the stove is free and the desk is located in the middle of the kitchen and has free access from either side).
Dimensions and type of hood control
Width and depth of coverage (cm) - the right choice of hood, when the geometric dimensions completely coincide or slightly overlap the dimensions of the plate. And the effective distance between the hood and the hob for electric stoves should be at least 70 cm, for gas - 80 div.
Management - mechanical (push-button or slider) or electronic (sensory). The first option is the simplest, the cheapest and most common. However, "mechanics", over time, prone to contamination and sticking. Electronic - more stylish and modern, and the presence of a microprocessor and display indication allow you to implement additional options: ( Div. How to choose a kitchen hood 50 cm )
- automatic control of operating modes, on and off with timers and sensors, responsive to cooking surface temperature and humidity;
- control and indication of the state of contamination of filters;
- remote control using the remote control.
Housing material
- Certainly, the most expensive, stylish and at the same time practical decision especially for built in a case is high-quality polished steel. Due to the high chemical resistance of steel and the protective layer, it is one of the most reliable and durable materials, requires minimal effort to clean work surfaces.
- Enamel or powder coating is an affordable budget option, truth, less durable, but also quite practical, if the painting and application itself are made in strict accordance with the requirements of technology.
- Tempered tinted glass - no doubt, Beautiful, fashionable and aesthetic in itself, but requires careful care: divorces will have to be constantly monitored, spots, chips and scratches.
Professionals recommend a balanced approach to the process of choosing a kitchen hood. You should not rely entirely on ratings, reviews and comments, after all, in each case, the requirements for the choice of kitchen hood are individual, and these “market indicators are constantly changing.
