Important rules extraction installation
Hoods needed in kitchens and the electrical and gas stoves. Being imparted to install them in the second case is slightly different. After all, when using a gas stove cooking is influenced by the open fire. This feature is necessary to consider before installation.
In the process of cooking on a gas stove cooking odors not only fill the air - the kitchen smell is distinctly felt burning gas. It is he who brings confusion in the question of the correctness of the choice of optimal distance for future extraction.
Therefore, before purchasing the exhaust equipment for kitchen should be calculate its powerSo as not to have to change the technique almost immediately after installation.
So, sometimes you can hear the erroneous advice of some craftsmen hang this device below at a distance of 50-60 cm from the plate level. According to them, this will remove carbon monoxide from the room better and faster.
Above the gas stove is required to set one of the most suitable models extracts to get rid of smoke, soot and other impurities in the air
Such advisers forget that open flames can easily spill over to the housing exhaust equipment and then trouble is inevitable. Especially dangerous may be a situation where the grease filters have already dirty - they can ignite in seconds.
To this did not happen, we must remember, how high hang on a gas stove hood. The allowable range is between 75-85 cm. And, as advised by experienced craftsmen, in some cases the error of 5 cm when a different hood does not fit.
For gas cookers distance before stretching should be greater than that provided for electric. But, in any case, no less!
In addition to the distance from the plate to the hood there are other important installation guidelines, including:
- Proper installation of the equipment;
- a secure connection to the mains;
- proper connection to the ventilation system.
To evacuation system for many years worked properly, in a timely manner to help get rid of the symbiosis of different flavors, it has to establish clearly adhering to the basic rules of installation. Installing it, you can do by yourself or invite a master of the company with a good reputation.
Another important rule that affects the quality of the installation and future indoor climate - Compliance with the equipment manufacturer's recommendations. First of all be careful to read the tips on installation height of the acquired drawing model, given by the company, its to make.
Then you need to consider the recommendations of the manufacturer of gas stove in the relevant section. The instructions should be given special attention to the advice of the height placement of the drafting system.
Height of product installation will depend largely on the type of equipment and its power
Often, you can face the fact that the recommendations to one, and the second device are quite different. Manufacturers extracts may indicate the height of the installation of the equipment in the 40-50 cm from the plate. In this case, you need to focus only on the distance specified in the instructions to the plate.
If the accompanying documentation to the gas stove was lost, the hood above it can be hung from a distance of not less than 75 cm.
Step by step drawing installation on a gas stove
With the installation and connection of the hood is quite possible to cope on their own. For this is useful to a simple set of tools: a drill or screwdriver, hacksaw, screwdriver, pencil, level, tape measure. You will also need a basic understanding of installing exhaust equipment in a residential area.
Preparation for installation work
To install the hood proceed after the equipment itself has already acquired. The first step is to read the instructions in the hood and a gas stove, paying special attention to the height of the upcoming installation.
It can not be too high to lift evacuation system, relying on his tremendous power, it can not in a timely manner to remove exhaust air from the room
After studying the recommendations can begin to layout the future site of the drafting system on a gas stove. It all depends on the type, model and mode of operation.
There are sloping, angular and island hoods and built-in models. On which model will be on a specific cuisine, and depends on the place where the will to do the layout. In any case, it is desirable to begin only after the installation of the installation and connection of the gas stove.

Spacing location for the drawing to be strictly on a gas stove, measured off distance upwards within 75-85 cm. Then will plan the location of the vent pipe, which will be mounted to the hood. For coal-fired models is irrelevant.
The layout of the installation and further drawing on the gas stove should be performed using a spirit level
Fixing the hood over a gas oven
When a markup is finished, you can proceed to the installation drawing. Here the order of work equipment depends on the model - for built-in hood to be a bit of work with hanging lockers, in which she would hide.
Built-in model extraction will be hidden in the closet. To do this, cut a hole to be inside a corrugation. Coal hole patterns do not need
The cupboard section will raise the bottom shelf at a height corresponding to the height of the hood. It is about 15-25 cm. Then straight to the shelf to be self-tapping screws to attach the hood, using the existing holes in the chassis.
If the hole is not present, you can do them on their own, they sounded thoroughly the place of future attachment. If the model of the dome, corner, or island styleThen it will be enough to hang on securing pre-installed in the wall or the ceiling.

Step 1 - note hood fixing points in the wall adjacent to the gas stove or in the ceiling, if it is a model island style
Step 2 - drill holes for mounting in the marked locations with a pencil in advance. To do this, you can take a drill or a hammer
Step 3 - hammer hammer plugs into the prepared holes. These parts can go in the mounting kit, sold with hood
Step 4 - Screw in screws or screws into the holes with the plugs installed. You can use a screwdriver or screwdriver
Step 5 - screw is not necessary to twist close to the hole. It is necessary to keep a distance of 10 mm for hanging the hood

Connect the hood to the ventilation system
If the hood is already taken its place on a gas stove, you can proceed to the next stage - its connection to the ventilation system. Although in some situations, without this you can do - everything will depend on the operating principle of the installed equipment.
The operating principle of the following types of extracts:
- air tap;
- purification of exhaust air in the recirculation mode;
- 2 1 - can work equipment in retraction mode and the recirculation mode.
In the first type of devices installed grease filter designed to remove fat particles to exhaust air outside the building. There is also sure to have a duct through which air masses and moved out of the room.
When placing furniture and appliances in the kitchen should provide the least a short way from the drawing to the vent - the longer it is, the lower the efficiency of the device
In the second type of extracts used fat and carbon filters - the first fat is removed, and the second filtered air masses, relieving them of soot, soot, water and other particulate impurities, giving unpleasant smell.
The third type of equipment also has two kinds of filters, and is equipped with a duct which is not present in coal extracts. This structure operates in a mode of removal of air and its purification mode without deleting.
For coal extracts does not need duct - these devices do not evacuate the air masses from the room. They are cleaned and then returned to the room
It is therefore important to understand hood with any principle of action will now be installed. After all, in the installation of the duct does not need coal model.
be implemented obschedomovoy connection to the ventilation system for the other types of extracts. You will need a plastic or corrugated duct, adapters, clamps, and metallized sealant tape.

Connection to the mains Equipment
When the main mounting operation performed to connect the left hood positioned above a gas cooker, to the mains. Regardless of the type and mode of operation all hoods require power. Without this, the exhaust fan just will not start.
To connect to the network can be 2 options:
- inclusion in the socket;
- connection directly.
The first option is the most simple and convenient. If there is a free outlet, while the drawing already has a cable with a plug at the end - that it be convenient to hide in the cable channel, reaching to the wall outlet.
the kitchen socket must be earthed. This is worth remembering when you connect not only extraction, but also other electric kitchen appliances
But the act of the first embodiment is not always possible - often free outlet for exhaust just not enough. Some models too short cable with a plug, which does not make it to the correct sockets. Therefore it is necessary to connect directly.
It is important to properly connect all the wires to the hood power cable to the ground was connected to the earth, phase and zero with the appropriate cables. Wiring should be carried out strictly with the power off, and hands to protect special gloves.
After such contact is necessary to isolate the compound. Also, be sure to check if the current to the exhaust housing is not.
To verify the connection wires hood with power cable directly, you can use an inverter screwdriver. If the lamp lights up, then it makes a mistake and the unit can strike shock
After connecting left turn on the power and test the functionality of the exhaust equipment. It's simple - enough to include any drawing speed and attach a piece of paper.

Therefore, in this kitchen hood for the time being will fulfill a decorative role. As soon as the hostess will be there, enthusiastically vayayuschaya culinary delights to be buying a new one or reinstall the low-hanging hood.
The second error during installation - narrow width of the equipment. It should be remembered that for the normal operation of the hood width must be the same as that of the plate.
Experts recommend buying plan drawing only after the acquisition of the gas stove. So it will be able to choose the optimum width and height model
The third mistake is more about design - it will not affect the operation of the equipment. This is about hoods with ductsConnecting the device with a ventilation shaft - in the areas of open space, it is desirable to mount the plastic. This will allow visually to give a more refined appearance communications.
For ducts that are hidden under the decorative cover, plasterboard box or in the false ceiling can be used corrugation.
