Criterias of choice
Being engaged in the choice of exhaust system for the kitchen, it is necessary to immediately identify certain criteria that are crucial in this matter.
Performance
Modern apartments have a kitchen with a large area (especially studio apartments), and it is important that the performance of the hood was designed for these dimensions. As a rule, Faber hoods are powerful enough, but it is still worth counting the throughput before making a purchase. For this there is a simple formula - the total area of the room and the height of the ceiling are multiplied by the coefficient of air renewal, which is 12.This coefficient corresponds to sanitary standards, in which the air in the kitchen is completely updated approximately every 5 minutes.
Control
All Faber products have electronic control, therefore, it is worth considering its pros and cons.
Pros:
- possibility of the choice of the push-button or touch control unit;
- remote control (not available on all models);
- additional modes and options (intensive mode, sleep timer).
Minuses:
- there are software failures;
- spontaneous on / off;
- high sensitivity to voltage drops.
Lighting
All modern models have halogen or LED lighting, which is the most economical and durable. Light is the most natural, therefore the natural color rendition of the dishes that are being prepared is preserved.
Noise level
This criterion is very important, although many do not give it the necessary attention. The optimal level of a working device must be in the range of 35-45 dB, but in order to meet these indicators, you have to sacrifice the performance of the equipment. Therefore, most powerful hoods exceed the optimum noise level.You should choose a technique with a margin of performance, this will help minimize the negative impact of noise. It is also important to monitor the cleanliness of the filters.
Types of filters
There are two types of filters - fat and coal. The first type is designed for the rough cleaning of air from grease and other large particles. They are equipped with hoods Faber. Most often, they are reusable and are perfectly washed with soapy water, less often you can find disposable paper filters.
For a deeper cleaning of the air and for the circulation mode, a carbon filter is required. It must be purchased additionally. Enough for 2-6 months, depending on the level of air pollution in the room.
