Hood for extraction: connection of the device

No kitchen can do without ventilation and exhaust. Otherwise, all the smell and steam will remain indoors, soaking the walls. However, the choice of the device must be approached with care. Hoods in the kitchen can have different shapes, dimensions and provide different functions. And the polluted air can be discharged to the street through the ventilation duct, and can be cleaned inside the device and returned back to the room. Choosing the right option is necessary, based on the needs of the room, its style and size, as well as the taste of the owner.

In any case, you need to focus not only on the external beauty of the device, but also on its functionality. Also it is necessary to pay attention to the additional functions of the hood. A very important indicator of the device is its power, because a small performance can provide cleaning of a small space.

Best if the machine has the same dimensions as the hob. And the size of the air purifier directly depends on the height of its installation. It should pay attention to how much noise is produced during the operation of the device. Naturally, you should choose the hood the least noisy.

If the selection is already made, then the correct connection of the hood must be made. First of all, it is desirable to check the operability of all elements of the device: fan, backlight. Modern appliances for cleaning the air in the kitchen can work both in the mode of air recirculation, and take the couples to the street. Switch mode can be a special button.

With regard to the installation of the device, it is first desirable to note its height on the wall and attach the hood to the intended location. If the device works with ventilation, it will need a hood for extracting, by means of which it will be connected to the vent channel. But first you need to install a plastic cylinder with a check valve on the exhaust hole . It is necessary to protect the room from excess draft and return the odor from the ventilation duct. Further on the cylinder is attached to the hood for drawing, which is usually made of aluminum, and fixed with a clamp. Before attaching the corrugation to the duct, it is necessary to put a grate on it. Moreover, the grate can already have a hole for the hose for the removal of steam.

It should be noted that the hood for extracting is acquired in a compressed form and can be stretched for a distance of up to 2 meters. When buying the submitted item, you must also take into account all the necessary bends. If the distance from the hood to the duct is large enough, it is better to buy several corrugated hoses.

Best of all, if the corrugation for drawing is not large bends and does not sag. To ensure that the steam hose does not vibrate, you can additionally attach it to the mounting tape.

The hose for stretching from both sides is fixed with clamps. After installing the device, you can plug it into the outlet and check the operation. In the kitchen, you should arrange a separate outlet for the hood.
