Hoods Jet Air: varieties and tips for use

Modern Italian Jet Air hoods are widely known to the domestic consumer. The device completely destroys the stereotype of the hood as a bulky device that spoils the interior of the kitchen. The company's specialists have developed and established the production of aesthetic and miniature models that are in no way inferior, and in some ways even superior, to their overall counterparts.

Jet Air was founded in Cerotto back in 1984 and from the first days of its creation has specialized in the production of cooker hoods. Five years later, the company became part of the world-famous Ellia concern. Thanks to the use of high quality raw materials and the use of innovative methods, the brand quickly gained popularity in the European consumer market. The company's products are distinguished by exquisite design, a large number of additional functions and a long service life. Each model meets strict international standards and is tested in the production laboratories of the concern.

Environmentally friendly and certified materials are used in the production of hoods, resistant to thermal influences and do not emit toxins during operation. Wooden parts are treated with fungicidal compounds and do not lose their physical and aesthetic properties throughout their entire service life. Glass used as decorative elements is highly durable and heat-resistant, and a special paint withstands well the effects of abrasive detergents.

The Jet Air cooker hood is a device equipped with one or two motors and consisting of a body, filters, control system and acoustic packages. The role of the latter can hardly be overestimated: with their help, the most silent operation of the device is achieved, which is especially valuable when the kitchen and living space are located adjacently.

To ensure maximum air purification, along with aluminum filters, it is recommended to use charcoal and acrylic models. The main disadvantage of the latter is the need for regular replacement, which is recommended every 3 months. The retraction can be operated in two modes: recirculating and diverting. Appliances can be built into kitchen furniture, wall or ceiling mounted. The installation method depends on the configuration of the model and the specifics of its placement. The hood is controlled using a soft-touch touch panel, which makes working with the device convenient and simple. The "smart" control system is engaged in the notification of the state of the filters, informing the user in time about the need to replace them.

The range of products of the Jet Air company is quite wide. Island, inclined, suspended, wall-mounted, built-in, corner and dome models are presented to the attention of consumers. Along with small-sized appliances, the range of hoods also includes large-sized high-performance units, which makes it easier to choose a device with a wide and long hob. Such models are somewhat more expensive than budget options, the price of which starts from two thousand rubles.

Jet Air hoods are classified not only by installation method and size, but also by performance. So, small-sized inexpensive specimens are capable of distilling 350 cubic meters of air per hour, while the capacity of industrial devices can reach 1200 m3 / h. Such high performance is distinguished by large T-shaped hoods with a black glass display, a touch panel, an intelligent warning system and an anti-return valve, which prevents polluted air from being thrown back into the room. The cost of such devices is 20,000 rubles.

The devices also differ in the number of functions. Simple models often do not have touch controls and are equipped with mechanical keys. This significantly reduces the cost of the product, but makes the use of the device not as comfortable as that of expensive items. High-tech devices are often equipped with timers, filter status sensors and energy-saving backlighting, represented by halogen or LED lights. Some models are equipped with an auto power off function and an intensive mode.

Telescopic models are an interesting solution for small spaces. The appliance turns on automatically when the filter panel is pulled out. Changing the speed mode is carried out using slide switches, the performance of the models is on average 380 cubic meters. The cost of telescopic devices starts from 3 thousand rubles.

Before you start installing or repairing the hood, you should carefully read the instructions. An important prerequisite for installation is the mandatory grounding of the device. This requirement is due to the fact that the device is constantly exposed to steam and drops of fat, therefore any malfunction in the electrical equipment of the hood can lead to electric shock. When installing, it should be remembered that the corrugation must completely enter the shaft and have a minimum number of bends. The distance between the hob and the appliance should also be taken into account. It should not be less than 70 cm.

The installation of the hood itself is a fairly simple procedure that does not require special skills and great experience. The first step is to mark the attachment points of the device with a pencil and use a puncher to drill the wall for the dowel. Next, you need to thoroughly clean the entrance to the mine from mechanical debris, put the corrugation on the valve and secure it with silicone sealant. Then you should hang the device itself, and then attach it to the corrugation. In order to prevent the corrugation from being accidentally pulled out, it is recommended to use polyurethane foam. The last step is to install a decorative overlay that will completely hide the corrugation and give the device an aesthetic look.

Before proceeding with the selection of the hood, you should measure the dimensions of the hob. The hood should overlap its dimensions with a small margin. You should also pay attention to the total area of ​​the kitchen. The larger the area of ​​the room, the higher the performance of the device should be. Do not forget about the sound pressure level, the parameters of which are indicated in the technical data sheet. If the hood will be installed in a studio apartment where the kitchen and living room are combined, then the device must be selected with minimum sound load indicators. Otherwise, the use of the hood will disturb those present and make it uncomfortable to be in the room.

When operating the hood in recirculation mode, it is recommended to install charcoal filters. This is due to the fact that the dirty air absorbed from the room is not discharged to the street, but is cleaned and returned back to the room. Therefore, the purity of the air in the kitchen depends on the quality of its cleaning.
