Installation of built-in cooker hood, its installation into a cabinet

For arranging ventilation in the small-sized kitchen installation embedded drawing is considered the best option. It is mounted inside the hinged cabinet issued under the kitchen, leaving enough space to accommodate the various utensils. Despite the apparent complexity of the installation of such equipment, it is quite feasible for its forces.

Built-extract from other analogues distinguish structural features that influence the installation. First of all, this concerns the geometry of the bell and cupola. In most cases, these models are:

  • rectangular shape, which allows for the configuration of kitchen furniture and facilitates mounting within a box or locker;
  • with the same purpose, the manufacturer seeks reduce the size of the dome, where the hidden filter system and electrical engineering;
  • as furniture and wall mounted in the exhaust system it is often inferior to the plate at a depth parameter on some models provides drawer.

with a panel design allows you to keep the compact dimensions without compromising the efficient removal of steam from all over the hob area. However, its installation will require the manufacture of boxes on special request with the corresponding door sizes.

ventilation method

Like the other devices of similar purpose, built extractor can be performed in the slip, recycle or combination embodiments. Mounting discharge embedded hoods more complicated, it requires a connection with corrugations or duct. Recirculation apparatus less troublesome to install because it does not output the air outside and purifying it with the filter elements. They are best suited for old houses built, which provides for the general ventilation shafts on several floors, but more expensive than the previous operation (replacement filters), require more careful maintenance. Combined options combine both the operating principle that allows you to choose the optimal method of ventilation depending on the level and intensity of air pollution.

Hardware and Installation

The effectiveness of the acquired setting depends on the compliance parameters of the equipment operating conditions and compliance with the rules of attachment. In comparison with similar products of other types of list of such requirements is somewhat broader. Among them are paramount

  • the dimensions of which must conform to the dimensions of the cabinet;
  • performance, selected according to the size of the room;
  • width, which is determined relative to the plate sizes;
  • height, which must ensure the safety and operating comfort.

Physical specifications

To seamlessly embed the hood in the cabinet need to take care aspect ratio is still at the stage of purchase. Trade offers the widest range of models with different dimensional characteristics. Avoid annoying errors can delay the purchase of equipment to complete the repair and arrangement of furniture. Having dealt with the repair, you need to arm themselves with measuring tool and measure the parameters of the alcove or closet, which is supposed to install the unit.

The width of the front projection

This is another important aspect that should be taken into account when selecting and then install exhaust equipment. In width, it should be the same with the same hob parameter. If the instrument will have the plate, a large portion of the vapor will remain in place. Typically, the width of embedded models is 60 centimeters, but can choose technique as necessary with other characteristics.

mounting height

Security and usability plates depend on the altitude at which air conditioning systems available. There are parameters which define the lower and upper thresholds of its placement, depending on the type and the growth plate holder. For gas panels operating with a high emissivity, the minimum distance to the drawing will be 75 cm, the maximum - 90. In the presence of electric cookers, this distance ranges from 65 to 70.

Properly secured device in compliance with the minimum and maximum values, there will be dangerous to heat and provide comfortable use of the stove.

The cleaning efficiency

The quality of operation of equipment, its effectiveness depends on the ability to clean a certain volume of air per minute. Not to be mistaken with the choice, and maximize the impact of the equipment need to pre-calculate the necessary performance parameters. This can be done by multiplying the amount of space on the air exchange rate. The multiplicand in that pair is determined independently, in well-known formula, the factor 12 is a figure, which is indicated by the average level of air exchange. Obviously, the larger the room, the higher the performance.

It should be borne in mind that the results of the formal calculation does not always correspond to the practice and performance should be chosen with a margin. For example, each knee with a right angle reduces to 10% capacity, small space filled quicker odors more marker.

installation sequence

To embed the hood in the kitchen with his hands need a set of instruments and consumables, which should include:

  • set of drills to work on the tree and concrete in a pair with a drill;
  • markup tools, including a marker and pencil, tape measure and area;
  • electric jigsaw and handsaw;
  • Screwdriver with a set of bits;
  • screws, brackets and sealants.

When all you need is prepared and at hand, you can begin to installation. The order of execution includes:

  • preparing the cabinet,
  • Device installation,
  • compound with corrugations or duct.

Prepare cabinet

The easiest way to entrust this work to specialists and ready to order cupboard under the given parameters to design an appropriate headset. With self-assembly to start with the need to remove furniture and fixtures placed in a convenient place to work. After that, you must:

  • dismantle the hinged door;
  • remove the lower plane to cut a hole in it for the device parameters or.
  • to remove it completely;
  • remove the intermediate shelf to make it into the hole for the duct;
  • a similar hole is formed in the upper plane;
  • to strengthen the weakened structure to use corners.

Installation of equipment

Streamline design can be used as a support for the equipment or mounted separately. In the first case, the device is attached to the walls of the enclosure through holes established. In the second, first hung cabinet, followed by pre-marked and drilled holes mounted equipment. All fasteners are carried out pre-prepared screws.

During the work do not forget to monitor the horizon using a spirit level. The door is not hung up connections with corrugations or duct.

Compound ventilated

Depending on the ventilation shaft hole proximity to the compound can be used corrugation or plastic duct. In both cases, the connection to the outlet grille is applied to the flange, all joints are carefully sealed. Corrugation is recommended when the hole is above the installation site or nearby. Plastic duct box is best to use at a considerable distance. Corrugated pipe advantage is the flexibility and ease of mounting, but it resonates with the pull-out and amplifies noise. Hard plastic duct is more appropriate when considerable distances tracing and has a lower noise level.

door hanging

Finish mount hood in the kitchen hanging the door on the installed package. This part of the work easier to perform if the device has no sliding panel. The door is simply returned to regular fixture. The presence of panels will require to adjust the door with a hacksaw at a distance sufficient to release the free bar and its return to a place.

instead of a conclusion

Before starting the installation should become familiar with the design of the equipment purchased and the manufacturer's recommendations. Clarify points that may materially affect the installation. It is equally important to properly assess their experience in carrying out similar work. The main thing to be able to work with your hands and know how to install an embedded hood. If there is any doubt in their own competence, it is better to use the services of professionals.
