Overall dimensions of the built-in hood. Cooker hoods - tips for choosing and maintaining

Modern Appliances should have two complementary qualities - to be as functional as possible and fit perfectly into the style kitchen interior. With a deficit free space in small apartments There is one more requirement - compactness. We will try to figure out what characteristics a built-in kitchen hood 50 cm wide should have in order to fully satisfy the needs of the owners and ensure required level comfort.

Practice shows that built-in models are preferred not only by owners of small-sized housing, but also by owners of luxury apartments with an area of ​​20 m² or more. The fact is that small-sized technical devices are easier to disguise behind expensive facades designed in classical style or country style, where modern electronic and mechanical assistants are not entirely appropriate.

The hood disguised behind the furniture facade in classic interior

In addition to the sizes that are convenient for installation, the hoods in the kitchen of the standard 50 by 50 have the following advantages:

  • have a low noise level, as they are less powerful;
  • allow you to save energy;
  • give way to space above the stove for furniture;
  • differ in budgetary cost.

Disadvantages also exist: for example, compact modifications are not able to cover the entire volume of air in large rooms, therefore, qualitatively clean it. The choice of built-in technical devices is much more limited than the range of domed wall and island counterparts.

Air duct needed or not

The presence of an air duct - leading to the vent of the channel - does not depend on the size of the case, so you can find options for various modifications on the market. When choosing, it is worth starting from the possibilities of disguise in order to corrugated pipe or a voluminous rectangular box did not catch the eye. If the channel can be hidden behind suspended structure or decorative details furniture interior, then it is worth considering proposals with an air duct.


Extractor hood with air duct hidden inside the cabinets

If the conditions do not allow to carefully and imperceptibly lay a channel for moving the used air, we recommend choosing a recirculation model with a set of filters. In this case, the air duct is not needed, since air purification occurs due to the filtering mechanism located inside the housing. Inclined and flat hoods for the kitchen, you can mount it anywhere, since there is no binding to the vent.

Specifications for a 50 cm wide hood

When looking at the possibilities of narrow built-in devices, you will notice that there are much fewer of them than similar free-standing options. However, even when little choice you can find differences in power, noise level and the number of replaceable filters. Let's take a closer look at the most important specifications ah built-in devices 50 cm wide and find out which of the proposed samples is preferable.

Performance: calculation formula

The performance indicator completely depends on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room and the power of the exhaust module, since a weak, improperly selected device will not be able to fully cope with air purification. There are several formulas to calculate performance technical device. Here is one of the easier ones to calculate:

volume (L x W x H) x 12 x 1.3

The volume can be easily calculated using construction tape measure by measuring the width, length and height. The number 12 is the minimum number of recirculation cycles, and 1.3 is the error factor. Losses in performance occur when air exits through a duct or during filtration cleaning meets various kinds resistance. By the way, the error factor for models with filters is slightly higher - 1.7.


The KuppersbergInlinea 52 C fully integrated extractor hood is suitable for all interiors

To select the required power, compare your own calculations with those indicated in the manufacturer's instructions. For example, the performance of the KuppersbergInlinea 52 C module is 650m³/h, this indicator is enough to create a comfortable microclimate in a room with an area of ​​15-18 m².

Noise level - not above the norm

It is a mistake to assume that the noise level indicator is secondary. For those who spend a lot of time cooking or own a kitchen-living room, this characteristic should be second only to productivity.

Modern quiet kitchen hoods 50x50 or 60x60 have acoustic protection from fans and motors that create noise during operation. In addition, sounds occur when air moves inside ventilation structures. The only way to get rid of this kind of noise is to reduce the number of turns of the ventilation lines or increase the diameter of the pipes.


ElikorIntegra GLASS 50 with noise level 55 dB

Manufacturers who care about the health of consumers take various measures to reduce the noise level and try to keep it below 60 dB. However, even now you can find proposals (mostly flat stand-alone modifications) with parameters of 62 dB. The best option to create a comfortable atmosphere - 50-55 dB.

Lighting - comfort in the work area

Many modern models equipped with backlight - halogen or LED lamps located on the bottom panel. They are on the same plane as the grease filters and are protected by durable matt or completely clear glass. Lighting is necessary when the furniture modules partially obscure the ceiling lighting, and there are no additional lights located under the cabinets.


Backlight illuminates the hob

The presence of small lamps located around the perimeter outer panel, plays and decorative role in the interior of the room. Beautiful nickel-plated surfaces and glossy facades look much more attractive under the rays of artificial light.

Control - ease of adjustment

Convenient control will help you quickly select the desired mode, turn on additional lighting, change power settings. There are two types - manual (mechanical) and remote (with remote control). Manual, in turn, can be slide, push-button and touch.

For compact suspended hoods to the kitchen without an air duct standard width, usually, mechanical type adjustment, that is, control is carried out using the buttons located on the front panel. For example, for the Shindo METIDA 50 B model, using the buttons, you can change the mode (outlet or circulation), turn on the lamp, change the speed. For programmable modifications, with one touch of a button, you can set the interval ventilation mode.


Flat stand-alone push-button hood

Some manufacturers are expanding the range of built-in modules through adjustment options. For example, among the samples of the Bosch brand, you can find retractable built-in hoods 60 cm and 50 cm with various types controls:

  • BOSCH DHL545S - slider;
  • BOSCH DHL575C - push-button;
  • BOSCH DFS067K50 - touch.

Touchpad options are more expensive.


Compact devices in the interior

The design of modules with a width of 50 cm and 60 cm does not differ in variety, but a few nuances can still come in handy when choosing. You absolutely don't have to worry appearance fully built-in modifications: they are hidden in a cabinet above the hob, and even the control unit is not visible. If the style of the interior does not involve the placement of a dome or fireplace type model, the best option is a kitchen hood built into the cabinet 50 or 60 cm wide.


flat devices well visible. They are considered conditionally built-in, as they take up little space and are located directly above the stove. The main difference is in the color scheme. A classic palette is provided for selection: white, black, beige, silver.


A budget option flat design

Built-in modules have a working part with a motor (or two motors), fans, filters, a program unit hidden behind the facade, and a touch panel or a set of buttons are located on front side. For diversity color design the possibility of installing a decorative strip is added - plastic, glass, matte, glossy, wood-like. As a rule, the plank design corresponds to the facade kitchen set.

Rating of the best manufacturers

To choose the best hood for the kitchen, you can use the ratings, which are based on functional features, design, and individual technical parameters. Our top 5 is based on brand popularity in Russia. The first three belong to German products, always different high quality and long term services. When choosing the best hoods for the kitchen in 2016, it was German brands that “lit up”.

Bosch

Bosch provides a choice of devices of any type: fully built-in, canopy, built-in in a cabinet above the stove.

The first group includes the sample DHL575C from of stainless steel, giving designers and engineers complete freedom of choice for placement. Advantages: low noise level characteristic of this brand (53 dB), optimal performance (610 m³ / h), convenient electronic control, automatic shutdown of the selected mode. A well-placed backlight fully illuminates the work area.

Comparative review embedded and flat models:

The variety of brands and various modifications allows you to choose an exhaust device for the stove with the necessary technical indicators and sizes. The built-in module 50-60 cm is the perfect solution for equipping a kitchen in a modern or classic style, economical, quiet and easy to operate.

Popular sizes

Manufacturers specializing in the production of exhaust units produce entire lines with different overall characteristics. And the point is not only to mount the unit as productively as possible by fitting it into the kitchen furniture set. Width is an indicator that directly affects the quality of its work. It can vary in a fairly wide range, ranging from 50 cm to 125 cm (professional equipment).

The most popular models in everyday life have a width of 50-90 cm, and this the size of the hood is dictated by the width hob in the kitchen to be served. That is why it is not worth saving by installing a small exhaust system over a large stove - it simply cannot cope with the amount of polluted air available. A significant part of fumes, combustion products, smallest particles fat will "fly" past, reducing the productivity of the device.

Almost all household stoves and hobs have an overall width of 50-60 cm, so kitchen hoods have similar dimensions. This is perfect option for embedding inside cabinets or mounting between them as an independent module. If a small hood is not an option, kitchen hoods are available that are slightly larger than the width of the stove. This allows you to optimally capture all the exhaust air, even without turning on at full power.

Thus, the ideal width is slightly larger than that of the hob. Say, if the stove is 60 cm, then the dimensions of the exhaust unit are 75-80 cm. This will reduce the level of noise produced and optimize energy costs.

How to determine the size of the hood in the kitchen

  1. Do not neglect the overall characteristics of your existing kitchen furniture. Often, exhaust device is installed in the functional interval between upper cabinets. If the parameters and technical specification of your hood require its installation behind furniture facade one of the closet - even more so.
  2. Focus on size hob(ideally, 15 cm should be added to its exact size - these are the parameters your exhaust system). This will ensure the most efficient capture and processing. air mass, regardless of functional or design features extraction equipment.
  3. Remember that the dimensions of the retractable hood are somewhat larger than the visually visible width. This allows you to slightly increase the working area of ​​the device. Non-standard kitchen units (corner, island) most often have the dimensions most in demand in their class.
  4. Remember that the hood must be powerful enough to ensure that the exhaust air is processed even for quite high altitude. Above gas stove exhaust equipment must be mounted at least 75 cm. Therefore, the dimensions should not be selected exactly according to its width, but with some margin. Especially if it is equipped with a not too noisy medium power motor. In no case do not try to increase the power of work by reducing the distance between the stove and the hood - this can lead not only to the failure of the device, but also to a fire. An increase in this distance leads to a drop in power and inefficient operation of the exhaust equipment.

The right choice of design and size

All kitchen hoods are divided according to the type of installation and design. There are wall, island, corner, and recessed hoods. Standard sizes kitchen hoods (width): 50 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm and 120 cm. An important rule when choosing a hood is that the width of the hood should not be less than the width cooker(hob surface).

All kitchen hoods work in two modes:






Exhaust mode - air passing through the grease filter is cleaned of fat and then completely removed from the kitchen into the ventilation duct. Recirculation mode - the air, passing through the grease filter, is cleaned of fat, passing through the carbon filter is cleaned of odor, and then returns to the kitchen.



Extract mode is more effective as it completely removes the smell from the kitchen.

Exhaust mode removing polluted air provides inflow fresh air(which is especially important when using a gas stove)

Exhaust mode is less noisy than recirculation mode

The exhaust mode is more economical, since it does not require the installation and periodic replacement of carbon filters

Correct installation of the hood

For correct installation hoods you need to know:

The volume of the kitchen room (to determine the required hood power)

The width of the stove (hob), the width of the hood should not be less than the width of the stove surface.



For efficient removal dirt, the hood should be installed at a distance of 65-75 cm from the top of the stove (hob). The minimum safe distance from the stove is 65 cm. If the height of the hood above the stove (hob) exceeds 75 cm, there is no guarantee that the hood will operate at the declared power level. The description of each hood indicates required distance up to the surface.



For correct operation hoods in exhaust mode:

Need to know diameter and location air vent kitchens to select the required diameter, length and type of duct

The length and number of duct bends should be kept to a minimum. It is recommended to use a duct diameter of at least 150 mm and no more than three bends.

For correct operation of the hood in recirculation mode:

You need to install carbon filters

The air returned to the room should not meet obstacles (cabinets, shelves, etc.)

Correct calculation of extraction efficiency with a minimum noise level

The hood works effectively if it provides air change in the kitchen at least 10 times per hour at a noise level of no more than 55 decibels

The more powerful the motor, the more efficient it is at low speeds, resulting in greater noiselessness and reduced power consumption.

The formula for calculating the required exhaust power:

Hood power \u003d Kitchen area x Kitchen height x 10 air changes (per hour)

For example, for a kitchen of 10 sq. meters and a ceiling height of 3 meters requires an extractor hood with a capacity of 300 cubic meters per hour. For a kitchen of 20 sq. meters and a ceiling height of 3 meters, the exhaust power should be at least 600 cubic meters per hour.

Correct Application hoods


It is necessary to turn on the hood 1 minute before the start of cooking on the surface of the stove (cooking surface) in order to create an air flow that will pick up fumes and odors

When the hood is running, keep the door closed to prevent changes in air flow at low hood speeds in case of drafts

To remove residual odors after the end of cooking, it is recommended to leave the hood switched on for 5 minutes or use the switch-off function after a certain period of time

Usually enough for cooking low speeds that remove light odors and fumes. Higher speeds are needed when cooking with strong odors and in pairs or when cooking several dishes at the same time.

Proper care behind filters


Grease filters protect the motor from grease contained in the fumes sucked in by the hood. A grease filter that has collected a lot of grease reduces the efficiency of the hood and does not protect the hood motor from grease.

Metal cassette filters provide effective trapping of fatty particles. For effective work hoods must be washed by hand or in dishwasher every two months.

Odor-trapping carbon filters are installed in the hood only in recirculation mode. They cannot be washed and should be changed every 3 months of operation. A synthetic filter heavily saturated with grease may ignite during cooking.

The replacement/cleaning time for the filters is based on an average use of the hood for about 3 hours per day.

Proper care of your stainless steel case

It does not take much effort to care for the hood. It is enough to periodically wipe the case soft cloth, impregnated with neutral detergent, free of chlorine and acetone, which can damage the surface.

Modern kitchens are without fail equipped with an extractor hood. No, this is not a tribute to fashion or tradition. The lack of exhaust equipment in the room leads to the fact that fat fumes and soot settle directly on work surfaces and furniture.

As a result, the kitchen is more often in need of time-consuming cleaning. Despite the variety of hoods that the market offers, built-in models are becoming increasingly popular. What is the reason for the high demand for this technique?

1 Design and advantages of built-in hoods

All the advantages that are characteristic of built-in hoods from Bosch, Elica, or others, lie in their design. The housing of electrical appliances, which hides the engine, pump and filter system, is completely hidden during installation in a wall cabinet above the stove. Thus, it is possible to achieve the following positive points:

  • Minimal impact on interior design- reviews left online indicate that the built-in appliances look elegant and restrained, do not spoil the overall style of the space and harmoniously complement the kitchen interior;
  • Space saving– Built-in models like Hansa's OTS 625 are ideal for small kitchen. The body of the equipment occupies only a part of the kitchen set, leaving you space in the cabinet for storing spices, dishes or other utensils.
  • Easy Care– the built-in hood is installed in such a way that only the absorbing filter and the control panel remain outside, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the equipment.
  • Variety of choice– Bosch, Cata, Elica and Hansa fully built-in hoods are now produced in different styles and colors, which allows you to purchase the product of the desired modification.

The design of built-in models, as a rule, cannot do without a sliding panel, as in the popular OTS 625 model from the Hansa brand. Such a system makes it possible to increase the air intake area with a modest size of the product itself. Only fully built-in appliances are completely invisible, their panel is completely hidden in the cabinet.

At correct selection fully built-in hoods are very convenient in everyday life. We offer to understand all the intricacies of the purchase of such equipment.

2 Main technical parameters of built-in hoods

In the process of choosing optimal model, you need to carefully study the technical specifications of the electrical appliance and reviews. The first thing to remember is that the Elica, Bosch, Hansa or any other built-in hood should be located directly above the hob. Moreover, the dimensions of the appliance must completely coincide with the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe stove, only in this way it will be possible to achieve maximum efficiency in eliminating odors and soot.

At the second stage of selection, it is necessary to calculate how much power a fully built-in hood should have. To determine the value of this parameter, you need to multiply the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe kitchen by the height of the ceilings. The resulting number must be increased by 10 times - this will be the required power of the appliance. User feedback indicates that the presented formula works perfectly!

Modern fully built-in hoods are able to work almost silently. So that when you turn on the equipment, your kitchen does not shudder from the powerful roar or hum of the electric motor, pay attention to the noise level characteristic of the model you like. The best hoods, such as the OTS 625 of the global manufacturer Hansa, have an average of 35-50 dB. This value does not create discomfort for others.

Hoods trademarks Bosch, Cata or Elica differ not only technical features and design, but also the type of management. Their built-in panel is push-button, touch or mechanical. Budget retractable models equipped mechanical system control, which is implemented through a special skid.

Stylish built-in hood

Some hoods, such as Hansa OTS 625, are equipped with a simple and clear keypad. For a high-tech kitchen, retractable models with touch controls are the best fit. This technique has a lot of modern "bells and whistles", which allows you to program the operation of the hood to the smallest detail.

Special attention should be paid to the built-in lighting, namely the number and type of bulbs. The more powerful the backlight, the better the illumination will be. work zone kitchens. Of all the types of lamps that are found in hoods, the most reliable, durable and economical - LED.

2.1 Types of built-in hoods for the kitchen

Well-known manufacturers Bosch, Cata and Elica supply the market with a very wide range of hoods, the main difference of which is the principle of operation. All equipment of this sample is classified into two broad categories:

  • Recirculation– hoods that belong to this group operate in complete isolation from external environment. They take polluted air from the kitchen, pass it through filters and return it to the room in a purified form.
  • Bypass- models of this sample absorb odors, soot and grease particles, leading them into the ventilation shaft.

Some hoods, like the Hansa OTS 625, are capable of operating in both extraction and recirculation modes. The choice depends on the method of installation of equipment and the capabilities of the kitchen.

The properties of exhaust equipment are largely determined by the quality of the filters with which it is equipped. Recycling models should produce effective cleaning air, so they are necessarily completed and, which absorbs odors. Drain hoods are not so demanding.

Manufacturers often deprive them of the system fine cleaning because the air is expelled from the outside. Filters must be replaced or washed as they get dirty, otherwise their absorption efficiency is reduced.

2.2 Mounting methods

Built-in hoods, depending on the interior and features of the kitchen, as well as on the wishes of its owner, can be installed in several ways. As the reviews on the network show, Bosch, Cata or other appliances are most often mounted directly above the stove in a wall cabinet, like the OTS 625 model from Hansa. However, in some cases, the appliance can be built into a special niche in the wall.

This method is not widely used, because it is laborious, requires careful space planning and availability free space for future technology.

Not so long ago, classic-style electrical appliances have an alternative - a hood built into the countertop. The effectiveness of this technique is obvious, it absorbs vapors even before they have time to mix with the air in the kitchen.

Built-in hood before installation

At first glance, it may seem that installing a built-in hood, such as the Hansa OTS 625, is not an easy task and requires the involvement of a specialist. But it's not! you can do it yourself, following the instructions for the technique. It is recommended to start the installation process by fixing the hood housing inside the cabinet.

Naturally, their sizes must match! The main nuance that should be taken into account is the provision of free play for the moving part. Remember that you must not fix the hood too close to the hob, otherwise the hood may fail under the influence of high temperatures. Optimal Distance between two objects 65-75 cm.

At the end of the installation, connect the outlet of the hood to the ventilation shaft using a corrugated or smooth-walled sleeve. Reviews on the network confirm that the installation of the hood is within the power of every man.

When choosing equipment, give preference to well-known brands such as Bosch, Cata or Hansa. They make reliable electrical appliances decent quality. Before buying a hood, determine what size you need.

Traditionally, models are produced in the format of 50, 60 or 90 cm. Carefully study technical specifications products so you don't have to be disappointed in the future. Your budget will be the deciding factor.

We bring to your attention an overview of popular models, which will facilitate the decision:

  • Hansa OTS 625 is a telescopic built-in hood with two electric motors, which provides the highest performance. Hansa OTS 625 has 3 speeds. The product has an interesting discreet design.
