As for the installation, it is best to trust the professionals, because without the appropriate experience and training, even the usual hood can be difficult to install. If desired, installation work can be done independently, but for this it is best to study the instructions in detail and get expert advice from the brand.

Installation of hoods depends on the type of model.

• Suspended models are considered classic, as a rule, are installed above the stove.
• Embedded models are mounted directly into a cabinet or tabletop. Thus, such equipment is considered the most invisible, but effective.
• The inclined models are set as if tilted, if the kind of kitchen requires it.
• Wall, fireplace and dome versions are installed on the kitchen walls in such a way that they maximally draw out unnecessary odors.
• Corner hoods, as the name implies, should be mounted in the corner of the kitchen where the stove is located.
• Island models are fixed on the ceiling above the table top.

To properly install the hood yourself, you should follow the instructions below:

• at the first stage, the hood is installed and fixed in the necessary place, which it was necessary to prepare and measure out in advance;
• then the equipment is connected to the power supply, it is advisable to think about the presence of the outlet in advance, otherwise you will have to pull an additional wire, sometimes you can very successfully use an extension cord if it turns out to be hidden behind the furniture;
• Finally, if we are talking about the model of the hood with air duct, then it should be brought into the ventilation duct.

Regardless of which type of hood was chosen, the height of its installation at home should be about 70 cm for electric furnaces and about 80 cm for gas. It is preferable for the house to choose exhaust hoods with carbon filtration, as they do fine cleaning, as much as they draw in third-party odors.

When cleaning the grease filter, it is very important to wash it with soap and a brush, then it must be thoroughly dried, after which it can be put in place. But carbon filters have, as a rule, changed to new ones.It is also easy to change a light bulb in the hood, since the brand offers the corresponding components for each model, which can be found in the Hansa catalog. When choosing the right hood, it is best to give preference to models with a stainless steel case with high-quality glass.
