Flow of air (extraction)

The performance of the hood in extraction mode at maximum speed shows the real possibilities for air purification. Since this parameter is several times less than the motor performance (maximum performance), not all manufacturers indicate this value, trying to present large and beautiful numbers. A similar situation can be observed among other devices. For example, in vacuum cleaners, the total power is many times greater than the suction power; in acoustics, mediocre brands prefer to list peak power instead of nominal power. Therefore, motor performance and extraction performance can not be compared. However, high-performance motors will also give high performance in extraction mode. And it may well be that the conditional Bosch with an extraction performance of 300 m³/h will be better than another hood with a maximum motor performance of 500 m³/h.

Flow of air (intensive mode)

Extraction flow of the air when using intensive mode. This mode is used in case of emergency on the stove, such as burnt food, spilt liquid, etc., which give off a lot of smoke and an extremely unpleasant smell. In turn, the intensive mode forces the hood to run at maximum speed, thereby increasing its performance even more (compared to performance at maximum speed). However, this function is activated for a short time (so the motor does not burn out). Therefore this mode is not considered standard, and it will not be possible to use it in everyday cooking.

Remote control

A remote control allows you to control the functions of the hood from a distance. Such a remote control will be especially convenient for those who, due to low height or health problems, find it difficult to reach for the hood itself every time. At the same time, this function affects the cost of the device, and the need for it arises relatively rarely. Therefore, the presence of a remote control is typical mainly for rather expensive models.

Hob to hood

Compatibility of the hood with automatic control systems used in some hobs. Such control is carried out as follows: the hob determines how many burners and at what power thy are turned on and sends a control signal to the hood, adjusting its power to the current situation. Thus, the user does not need to adjust the ventilation manually — the kitchen equipment will automatically set the optimal hood mode.

It is worth noting that modern kitchen appliances use several different automatic control technologies. They can even differ in the principle of communication: for example, Miele's Con@Сtivity uses radio frequencies, and Electrolux's Hob2Hood uses infrared channel. Therefore, if you want to assemble a kit with automatic control, you should make sure that both the hood and the hob support the same communication technology. The easiest way to achieve this is to select devices from the same manufacturer.
