2.4 Pressure loss
The dimension, length and number of bends in the exhaust duct are crucial
to how much of the motor’s capacity you actually utilize. By using a diameter
of 6” (inches) diameter = 150 mm, you will better utilize its capacity. Use
ducts that provides minimum resistance.
A
void bends and use a ventilation
grid with little pressure loss on the outer wall.
3. Cleaning and maintenance
Painted hoods are easily cleaned using warm water and dish soap. The same
applies to brushed metallic hoods.
For stainless steel hoods we recommend steel cleaners, or you can
clean
them using a damp and then a dry microfiber cloth.
Never use abrasives on high gloss PVD, but instead use e.g. glass cleaner
with a paper cloth.
The grease filter should be washed regularly each month. All grease filters
may be washed it in the dishwasher. Many filters are made of aluminum and
can therefore get discolored from dishwasher powders. This does not affect
its functionality. See instruction manual for built in unit.
Non-washable charcoal filters should
normally be replaced every year. See
instruction manual for built in unit.
Absorption
Absorption is the fan’s ability to sort and capture fumes. All our extractors
capture between 90-99% with a perfect installation. A cooker hood with
good absorption capacity does not require such a large amount of air to
create a good indoor climate. Several of our models have a volume section at
the bottom, which helps to capture fumes even at small air volumes.
