A Guide to Buying Your Bosch Hood

With a Bosch hood, you’ll now spend more time perfecting your masterpieces in the kitchen instead of cleaning up after cooking. It keeps your kitchen smelling fresh by removing airborne grease, fumes, smoke, odours, heat, and steam. As fire-prone grease stains are also removed in the process, using a hood minimises the risk of a kitchen fire, so you don’t have to worry about causing unexpected accidents. Discover how to select the right hood to suit your lifestyle.

Before thinking about the design of your hood, it’s also worth understanding how a hood works. The layout of your home will largely determine which type of venting option best suits your kitchen.

Besides keeping your kitchen smelling fresh, hoods can also be a stylish addition to the kitchen.

The effectiveness of a hood in removing fumes and cooking smells from your kitchen is dependent on its extraction rate. As a general rule of thumb, the larger the kitchen, the higher the extraction rate you’ll need. It’s recommended that your hood should be able to replace the air in the room six to twelve times an hour.

Extraction Rate = (Room Volume) x (6 or 12), where Room Volume = Length x Width x Height

Using the formula above, a Room Volume of 40m3 will require a hood with an extraction rate of either 240m3 for normal use, or 480m3 for intensive use.
