Hoods
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it possible to purchase products through in-house financing?
Yes, we offer 0% interest in-house financing for up to 18 months. This offer applies to our entire range of kitchen hoods, allowing you to spread the cost over a period that suits you without any extra fees.
Should the hood be wider than the cooktop surface?
Ideally, the hood should be the same width as the cooktop or slightly wider. This ensures that steam, grease, and odors are fully captured and filtered.
What distance should be maintained between the cooktop and the hood?
For safety and maximum efficiency, the following standards are recommended:
- For Gas Cooktops: 75–85 cm;
- For Electric Surfaces: 65–75 cm.
It is not recommended to reduce this distance, as it may cause the hood filters to overheat or become damaged.
How do I clean the hood correctly?
Hood maintenance involves two main steps:
- Metal Filters: Remove and wash them in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher (if specified in the manual) once a month.
- Exterior Body: Use a soft cloth and specialized cleaning agents to avoid scratching the surface.
Note: If your hood uses a charcoal filter (recirculation mode), it cannot be washed and must be replaced every 4–6 months.
What is the difference between Wall-Mounted and Built-in hoods?
- Wall-Mounted Hood: These are attached directly to the wall and often serve as a central design element in the kitchen.
- Built-in Hood: These are installed inside a kitchen cabinet to save space, making them the best choice for a minimalist design.
