Choosing your
Elica Cooker Hood.
DESIGN
Modern kitchens are becoming more of a social centre to the home and are thus
increasingly driven by design. Not only must your kitchen be a practical place
where food can be prepared and families or friends gather, but now it must reflect
your personal style, taste and character. This is especially true in your choice
of cooker hood; not only must it keep your kitchen clear of steam, smoke and
odours but it must also make a strong design statement in your kitchen. Design is
of course is a very personal thing, but no other cooker hood manufacturer offers
more choice of styles or further pushes the boundaries of cooker hood design
than Elica.

SIZE
Most hoods are made to a size to suit the popular widths of hobs or cookers so
you may wish to match the canopy width of your hood to your intended hob size.
However, many modern designers also double up smaller hoods to make a very
strong design statement.

MINIMUM INSTALLATION HEIGHTS
Minimum installation heights are generally 650mm above electric hobs
and 700mm above gas hobs. The height above gas is recommended for hobs
of 11.3kw or less. For higher rated hobs please seek advice.
Our ‘Plaza’ cooker hood can be as low as 400mm above electric hobs and
our ‘Glide’ decorative built in hoods can be 430mm above electric hobs.

CEILING HEIGHT
It is very important for you to measure the height of your ceiling to check if a hood
will fit. Remember to allow for the height of the Units plus the thickness of the
work top and then add a minimum of 650mm above an electrical hob or a
minimum of 700mm above a gas hob. The remaining distance to the ceiling is
where you can put your hood. There is no such thing as a standard ceiling height
in the UK, so it is very important to measure up before you buy.

EXTRACTION POWER
The hood must be powerful enough to change the air in the kitchen ideally 12
times per hour, but at least 8. A good formula to follow in order to help you calcu-
late the power that you need is to multiply the volume of your room by 10 (Volume
= length x width x height). An average room is approximately 25m3; therefore the
extraction rate required for the average room is 250m3/h. All Elica cooker hoods
have maximum airflow figures in excess of 250m3/h, some as much as 1200m3/h.
