A cooker hood helps fight not only the smell of cooking food, but also the soot and grease that builds up on surfaces. Thanks to this, keeping the room clean becomes much easier. In addition, it is a cooker hood that becomes a good solution to the problem when it comes to arranging a studio apartment.
The basics of choosing the right cooker hood
First of all, pay attention to the type of filter installed in the hood. The three main options are coal, aluminum and grease. Aluminum filters are characterized by a long service life: they need not be changed, but only washed once every 2-3 months. As a rule, a special indicator of filter pollution is installed in the hoods, which will help you not to miss the moment when you need to start cleaning it. Grease filters do a good job of soot and dirt in the kitchen. Thanks to them, both the surfaces in the room and the hood itself remain free of fat, and it becomes easier to care for them. Such a filter must be changed regularly. Finally, carbon filters are ideal for cleaning air from dust, dirt, and odors.

If the hood will be too low performance, it simply can not cope with its duties. It is also undesirable to buy an overly powerful device, because it will consume too much electricity. The simplest calculation of productivity is to multiply the volume of the kitchen by 10. That is the amount of cubic meters. m of air the hood will have to process for an hour. For example, if the kitchen volume is 50 cubic meters. m, then the hood within 60 minutes should clear 500 cubic meters. m
