When cooking with pans on the top of your stove, your kitchen is exposed to volumes of steam and airborne greasy particles and the general aromas of cooking. These by-products of domestic cooking can leave your home and kitchen areas with residual condensation of moisture, deposits of grease and lingering cooking smells unless you install an effective form of venting which provides extraction from the kitchen at the time of the cooking. Having a window open is insufficient and you will need over the stove extraction. The most common forms of extraction unit are either a vent in the ceiling equipped with a small fan which will draw the air, moisture and residues out of your kitchen and into ducting in the roof space, or for better protection of the kitchen environment a range hood or canopy can be installed and this combines with an in- built extractor fan so that all the residues ofyour cooking are drawn into the hood or canopy and are then extracted from the kitchen through the fan.
Simple extractor fans insert into a hole cut in your ceiling for the purpose. The unit is then wired up with electric power so that all you need to do is to switch it on and most of your residues will be promptly extracted from your kitchen. These units are fitted with a wire mesh to prevent access to your kitchen from any particles or pests which may be present in the fan unit, and the unit itself will require regular maintenance in the form of cleaning the mesh which separates your kitchen from the extractor fan mechanism. Many older homes only have a minimalistic fan extractor in place above their cooker, and while these will do an average job, there are many new and inexpensive fan extractors for your kitchen, complete with hoods and canopies - not only will your kitchen be fresher -by installing a range hood or canopy, over your cooker, you can make your kitchen look quite distinctive - and create a very professional looking appearance.
Most range hoods have over head fixed grease trap liners, which can be removed for cleaning with detergent and then replaced. Under the hood and beneath a vent is usually a fan which helps force the hot air from your cooking stove up in the fan cavity and out of your kitchen. Cooker hoods can be concealed behind panel work in your kitchen to create a tidy scene -but most cooker hoods and canopies are designed to be an integral part of your kitchen decor and are both streamlined and ornamental. In stainless steel columns or perhaps soaring towards the ceiling in beaten copper or white, your cooker hood or canopy will enhance the style of your kitchen and be at its best with a co ordinated cooking range.
