The hood is, perhaps, the main assistant in maintaining cleanliness in the kitchen. After all, when cooking, various fats, fumes and fumes remain on the ceiling and furniture. And the hood helps to eliminate unpleasant odors and reduce pollution. Modern Bosch hoods do an excellent job of purifying the air, while also decorating the kitchen, giving it a modern style.
German Made
The Bosch brand has long been known as a manufacturer of quality kitchen equipment. Equipped with a high-power drive, Bosch wall-mounted and built-in hoods effectively remove air, along with fumes and odors, from the kitchen to the outside. These devices operate in various speed modes. The special "Turbo" mode provides parametric ventilation. The kitchen appliances of this German manufacturer are distinguished by their thoughtful design, original design and good functionality.
Lineup
Bosch hoods are distinguished by installation types: island, traditional and built-in. The first option is suitable for a spacious kitchen, attached to the ceiling. Traditional Bosch hoods are placed near the wall. Built-in models are convenient for rooms of different sizes, and the advantage of such models is their hidden location (only the air intake is outside).
Another important parameter is performance. This characteristic depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room in which the device is to be installed. When choosing a hood, be sure to take into account the area indicator, since a weak device may not be able to cope with ventilation in a spacious room, and too powerful one will make a lot of noise in a small room.
Also, models are divided into devices with an electronic-digital interface and mechanical control. The first category boasts automation elements: auto-off function, smoke sensor, backlight. Bosch kitchen hoods with mechanical control are classified as a budget option. Although this view has a limited number of functions, it is quite enough for domestic use.
How the hood works
There are two ways to purify the air with a hood:
- unpleasant smell from the kitchen is removed by the hood into the ventilation duct;
- hood uses the principle of recirculation - draws air over the stove or hob, passes it through the filter and releases the already purified air back into the kitchen.
First optionrequire the installation of a ventilation duct. Experts recommend the use of PVC air ducts. But there are also air ducts made of aluminum foil. In addition, Bosch cooker hoods are necessarily equipped with a non-return valve to prevent unpleasant odors from entering the kitchen from the ventilation duct at home.
The hood with air recirculation is equipped with grease and carbon filters. The first one is made of metal, it can be washed and reused. And the second, which helps get rid of unpleasant odors, is recommended to be replaced at least once a year with a new one.
Difficulties in choosing
When planning to purchase a Bosch cooker hood, pay attention to the fact that it should be approximately the same size as the hob. But it is preferable - more than a stove. Do not forget that the smaller the surface of the hood, the less effective it is.
The height of the hood placement has certain standards. Above the electric stove, the minimum distance of the hood is 60 cm. And above the gas stove, the hood is located at a distance of at least 75 cm. These values \u200b\u200bare primarily due to safety conditions.
There are several ways to control Bosch hoods:
- button control;
- mechanical slide switch;
- touch electronic control.
The quieter the hood works, the better, so the noise level of ventilation equipment should not exceed 70 dB. Judging byreviews of Bosch hoods, in the most popular models it does not exceed 42 dB.
Different designs of hoods will allow you to choose a model for almost any kitchen interior.
