After the purchase is necessary to extract the right to make its installation. To do this, you need to consider all possible nuances, as it will be impossible to carry out correction of already installed equipment. The important point is the distance from the plate to the hood - it depends on the convenience and safety of operation of the device.
Installing the hood in the kitchen room is carried out in accordance with certain rules. These rules affect certain norms according to which the air intake must be located a safe distance away from the hob surface. It is necessary to create a fire situation.
Furthermore, hood must not be a hindrance for the user who carries out cooking. It should be placed so that all family members comfortably operate the unit and they did not touch his protruding parts.
Factors that must be considered when calculating the height of the kitchen cooker hoods:
- extraction sizes;
- type cooking hob;
- view of the exhaust device;
- the default values for the installation of equipment;
- User growth.
Output and dimensions drawing necessarily taken into account before installing. For efficient operation of the appliance must have the necessary capacity to absorb fumes, coming from the plate. If the machine is a low-power, it should not be placed at a great height, so he will not be able to catch all the dirt.
Also, the size of the device must correspond to the area of the cooking surface. The result of drawing operation would be the case if the air intake is not less than the perimeter of the plate perimeter. It is recommended to choose a device whose dimensions are a few centimeters longer than the width of the hob. Note that when you remove the exhaust holes of the plate, the pair will be scattered around the room, so the instrument must be strong and have adequate air inlet area.
The height of the cooker hoods affect the ease of cooking. If the device is too low, it can heat the ware edge, e.g., high pans. Fat and soot emitted during cooking, will splash the filter and part of the duct.
Another important matter at what height to hang the hood is the growth of consumers. Hostess should be easy to get to the control panel. On the other side of the hood should be placed so that the person cooking the food does not touch the protruding head of the unit.
When installing the unit pay attention to the location of the outlet. Note that some models do not have a very long cord, which can not take place before inclusion in the network. Therefore it will be necessary to either displace the machine or carry outlet in a more convenient location.
The height of the hood above the stove installation also depends on the plate type. For the purposes of the safe use of devices designed rules governing the minimum distance from the hood to the cooking surface. They are different for gas and electric cookers. Established standards:
- distance from the surface to the gas inlet line when the hood structure is from 75 to 85 cm;
- when it can be inclined at least 55 (on the lower parts of the appliance);
- over electric hood can be installed at a distance of 65-75 centimeters, if the configuration of a direct system;
- above the hob and the electrical tilting type stretch distance may be at least 35 cm (lower edge).
As can be seen from these standards, drawing the height above the gas stove is much more. This is due to the fact that the gas burner has an open flame. To ensure the fire situation, the air intake must be located at a safe distance from open flames.
device configuration
Equally important in the calculation of the height of the hood has a configuration of data devices. To determine how far to hang the hood, you need to choose the type of air purification. Suction devices may operate in recirculation mode or draw contaminated air out and replace it with new.
From the principle of the work depends on the shape and dimensions of the device. Circulation devices have compact size and low power. Flow connected to the ventilation shaft. As a rule, they are more powerful and can have an impressive size.
Configuration tools can be flat and dome. Planar designs generally operate on the principle of recirculation. They are placed in small kitchens, as they can not provide a complete replacement of air in larger rooms. Dome or fireplace devices have tube through which air is discharged to the outside.
Such devices require much space, so it is advisable to install them in a large-sized kitchens. Since the dome can be quite large and interfere with the user data device can do with the inclined panel. This can significantly save space in the kitchen.
The use of angled panels is the best option, as it allows to accommodate a fairly large kitchen area devices. They may be set at a minimum distance from the plate surface - 34-45 cm (this refers to the lower edge of the device). They can be advised to purchase those with high growth, as in this case does not interfere with cooking.
Depending on the location, chimney hoods are divided into the following types:
- pristennye - mounted to the wall near the stove;
- angle - used in the plate location in the corner of the kitchen;
- island - are installed in the case, if the plate is in the middle of the room.
By selecting a specific model and learn its size, you will be able to determine whether to put it in your kitchen with all the installation criteria.
When calculating the height of the hood, keep in mind all the factors that affect the distance between the two devices. Make sure that all family members feel comfortable using the device.
