Many people today are interested in how to install a hood over the gas stove.

The modern kitchen is cluttered with all sorts of appliances. No one in our day can not imagine life without a refrigerator, microwave, stove for cooking, etc. To the same mandatory elements include the hood. Learn how to spend it will be useful to all.

What hood ↑

For starters find out why the extractor fan for the stove is needed, in principle. Just say that the lack of this attribute in the kitchen can lead to a number of unpleasant moments. The mere fact that the smoke and vapor will accumulate in this room, and then all this will lead to the gradual destruction of facing materials, already is not good. In addition, the process of cooking on the stove will be much better, if a reliable machine will absorb unnecessary evaporation or pull them out.

Species ↑

Usually there are several types of hoods for installation:

Fireplace type;
Embedded;
Filter;
Intake;
Island;
Corner;
Vario and so on.

In addition, the exhaust system for the stove differ according to the filters:

Hoods with metal filter called another serologically. Their installation is carried out only in the case if the kitchen is equipped with a shaft for ventilation, because otherwise, the installation above the stove is useless. Such devices absorb unpleasant fumes and evaporation are much better if equipped with aluminum filters;
Hoods with a carbon filter installed as a separate attribute (not necessarily directly over the stove). They perfectly eliminate odors and are air recyclers.

As you can see, some of the hood is able to clear the room, driving the air from fumes, passing it through the filter, and then returning back. Other units, equipped with a metal filter, fully pull the air filter and take it out.

In recent times started to produce a universal model for conducting both the output and filtering. The owner selects the most comfortable mode and adjust it yourself manually.

In some apartments there is no possibility to connect the hood to the ventilation (time-consuming process of determining and installing estetichnost the final result of other reasons). Then you have to limit recirculation mode when the unit only filtered the air above the stove.

Note! But in this case it will be necessary to know that such mode is most effective installed on separate hoods with charcoal filter.

Performance or efficiency ↑

As a rule, models of the exhaust systems are able to pump different amounts of air (200-1200 cubic meters per hour). But the head of the rating of the hoods that model, which is more powerful and capable of pumping air at a rate of 500 m3/h.

The fact is that to calculate efficiency it is necessary to multiply the room volume by 10, and then the result is multiplied by 1.3. This will give the final performance of the unit, which is carrying out the filtering medium (not «overstrained» and not creating excessive noise) will provide great cleansing. This will be the highest efficiency.

Attention! The passport to the model drawing, simultaneously operating in 2 modes, specified, as a rule, the power output of fumes in the mine. This means that filtration through other mode will be 40% weaker as the loss of it when it sweeps through the filter inevitable.

Among modern hoods do not exist such that absolutely no noise after installing over the stove. This, of course, does not mean that to choose the ideal option with the required performance with the least noise is impossible.

Note! So, the quietest of the installed extraction systems is equipped with a motor sitting in a plastic box with sound insulation properties. The unit is absolutely not in contact with the housing, as protected by special pads. All in all, 36 dB noise can not be avoided.

Choosing the exhaust system for your kitchen, you should try to find a model with perfectly functioning control. The most rational are considered to be modifications «feather-touch» control. Their mikrikov is well protected from clogging. Horse racing network is not so bad for such hoods like expensive options with the touch type control.

Installation of a hood through the wardrobe ↑

The process of installation of a hood above the gas stove depends on several things. Take into account the kind of kitchen that attribute, the location of the mine, method of filtering and much more.

Installation antisaturation mechanism (flapper) ↑

Lets look at how to install the swatter:

It is recommended to start with the production of firecrackers over the stove. Galvanized iron or simply metal sheet (aluminum is ideal) for this fit completely.

Note! If you have no desire to Tinker, you can buy ready-made poppers that are sold in stores. To establish this element needs before mine.

For maximum convenience, a case it is advisable to put on a wardrobe that hangs above the stove.

The Council! Initially, the housing is installed quickly. After rack mounting, be sure all the cracks sealed with foam, the body is tightly glued. Thus, eliminates the possibility of resonance.

Case of the firecrackers the first time not installed. You first need to mark the location holes, attaching the product. The Cabinet removed for convenience, and is provided inside the desired form.

The Council! To cut in the Cabinet desired shape was easy, it is necessary first to drill a few holes, and then insert one blade of the jig saw and start cutting.

Be sure to make the holes in the inner shelves of the Cabinet, if any, under duct.

Note! Also, do not forget to make a hole in the ceiling, with the stock.

Duct ↑

Do the following:

The sheet slips in the holes, attaching at the top of the locker it a square shape;
Cut it with a small margin, be sure to cut the corners and bend them outwards;
Fasten the Cabinet with goreu on the wall. All joints and cracks treated with silicone, in order not to lower the capacity of the system;
Fix the appliance to the Cabinet;
Now fasten the hood in the Cabinet by screwing it tightly;
Put the sheet on the hood, securing it with a clamp;
Connect the duct to the mine, integrating the two elements is a universal connector, as shown in the photo;

The Council! Installing ventilation, you should try to do so to minimize as far as possible bends of the pipe.

This will ensure a good draft, because a large number of turns of the pipe reduces the power. She lost nearly 10 percent.

Standard setting ↑

Not all owners agree to hang a Cabinet above the stove, considering it an impractical affair. Indeed, these accessories quickly deteriorate from the steam and high humidity, although the hood provide aesthetic appearance.

Note! In addition, most wall cabinets are narrow, and it is not possible to set a drawing.

So, to install the exhaust system, do the following:

Do the corners of the rectangular frame. It will act as a reliable support for the body;
Instead of clips holding the case to the wall, you can use special screws-studs;

Connected to draw current.

Attention! Don’t forget when you connect to consider the grounding, so that when revolved, the fans, the tension was taken away in the direction.

Important points ↑

Note when installing the hood should be the following:

The normal height of installation of a hood above the gas stove should be the average. In other words, it should be set neither too low nor too high.

Note! As for exact dimensions, they specify does not work, as it depends on the particular space, size of gas stove and hood. All the same approximate height can lead – 750 mm above the stove, at least.

It is important to monitor the filters of the hood. If this is not done, then they will fail, and this will entail and the damage of the unit;
Filters are also often recommended to flush out fat, otherwise a large number of accumulated substances can lead to inflammation;
Exhaust system must be the same size with the plate, but not wider than it.
Installation drawing must be held in a fixed position relative to the place of cooking.

Note!. The fact is that if the hood will be displaced with respect to the plate at least a little, this will impact very negatively: no steam will come out effectively.

It is necessary to take care that the hood was equipped with an independent power supply system. It is desirable to prepare a special socket.

Note! We must also not forget to provide grounding of the hood to protect the unit.

If you install it is necessary to observe safety precautions. If possible, it is better to ask a close person to accompany you when attaching the hood.

Recall that the hood should be cleaned at least 1-2 times a year from Gary. This will eliminate the risk of fire. Now, knowing how is the installation of a hood above the stove you can save some money on the services of specialists. Keep up the good work!
