Extraction Rates
Hotpoint cooker hoods provide high levels of extraction up to an impressive 700m3/hr. And if you need an extra burst simply select the booster option available on most of our chimney hoods.The higher the extraction rate the more powerful the performance.
HOTPOINT COOKER HOODS INSTALLATION
Hotpoint cooker hoods should be positioned at a minimum height of 65cm above an electric hob and 75cm above a gas hob.
Hotpoint cooker hoods have two types of air extraction methods; Ducted or Recirculation.
Ducted
With ducted extraction cooker hoods need to be mounted on an external wall or linked to an outside wall via ducting along the top of adjacent cabinetry. The maximum ducting length is up to 5m, deducting 1.2m for every 90-degree bend. Ducting is available in three diameter sizes 100mm, 120mm and 150mm. Generally the larger the ducting diameter the better the performance.
Recirculation
This method is ideal for interior kitchens or where building work is to be kept to a minimum. If opting fo the recirculation method please remember you will require carbon/charcoal filters (not necessarily supplied with the cooker hood]. Check the specification for the individual product.

Suitability
As a guideline, the air in a room should be changed 6-12 times per hour. Follow these guidelines: l) Calculate the floor area in square metres and multiply by the height of the room in metres
2] Divide by the maximum extraction rate
3] The resulting figure should be at least 6, but as close to 12 as possible
Example
Kitchen (HxWxD) 2.1 x 4.5 x 4.2 = 39.7m3
Desired Hood HE63. Output per hour 450m3 per hour 450/39.7 = 11.34
The HE63 is therefore suitable for use in this kitchen in ducted extraction mode.
