Among the most important part of the house is the kitchen as it is the place where food is prepared. As such, it is a must that the kitchen area should always be kept clean. Among the important items that a kitchen should have in order to maintain its cleanliness are range hoods. These items, such as Siemens range hoods and which are also referred to as extractor hoods cooking canopy, extractor fan, fume extractor, and electric chimney, are devices that usually hang above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen and contains a mechanical fan that exhaust water vapor and heat away from the area.
Steam, smoke, and other vapors are produces from food when one is cooking. These gases, if not extracted from the air, produce a humid condition that will not only make one feel uncomfortable when cooking but also produce mold and mildew on walls and the ceiling. As such, range hoods were devised to filter these gases from the air when cooking, and hence, dangerous fumes are directed away from the rest of the house.
Three main components make up a range hood. These are the grease filters, the effluent plume which contains the rising gases, and the fan or tangential blower for forced ventilation. Generally, these devices, such as the Siemens range hood, have two major configurations: vented and recirculating. Vented range hoods pull air through a duct to the outside and are more effective for removing harmful chemicals and sticky grease from the air. Recirculation fans, on the other hand, guide the air through some filters and it ends up back in the kitchen. That is, they include an activated charcoal-filled filter that remove odor and smoke particles from the air before releasing the cleaned air back into the kitchen.
With the importance of range hoods in the kitchen, a number of brands and models are now available in the market for consumers to choose from. Generally, there are three types of range hoods. These are island mount range hoods, wall mount range hoods, and under-cabinet range hoods. Those range hoods that feature raised retractable intake devices to pull air into exhaust ducts and accompanies a downdraft are called island mount ranges. On the other hand, the most stylish type of range hoods which are often used on exterior walls when a cabinet or wall in not an option are called wall mount range hoods. Lastly, under-cabinet range hoods are those that feature a light and fan with multiple speeds. These types are the most commonly used type these devices.
A number of factors should be considered before purchasing a range hood such as a Siemens range hood. One of the most important factors that should be considered first is the size of the area where the device will be mounted as it will also dictate the size of the device that should be purchased. Then, it is also important to consider the configuration of the device, which as discussed earlier, may either be ducted or ductless. Then, the noise that the fan produces when operating should also be considered. One should look for a device that can operate on high speeds and with little noise. Lastly, how often the device should be maintained should also be considered.
Range hoods, such as Siemens range hoods, are indeed important devices that one should have in his/her kitchen. Not only will these items help one keep a fresh smelling kitchen, they are also helpful in allowing one to enjoy cooking in a clean area.
