The 3 best functions on range hoods
Edge extraction
Standard range hoods mainly extract cooking fumes in the middle. The fumes on the side might escape. A hood with edge extraction also properly extracts on all edges, so that no more air escapes the suction power. This way, you prevent your house from smelling that spicy curry the next day.
Connection with cooktop
A range hood that's connected to the cooktop is very useful. With such a range hood, you no longer have to guess which setting you need. The range hood automatically turns on and adjusts its suction power to the settings of the cooktop. Do you raise the setting on the cooktop and get more steam? The extraction hood will automatically extract with more power. The cooktop must be able to connect to a range hood.
Electronic cleaning indication
You never have to guess when you have to clean the grease filters. With a cleaning indicator for the grease filters, you can see when you need to clean your grease filters right away. This way, you make sure that the grease filters wont get saturated and that the range hood doesn't extract anymore. In addition, it's also important to clean your filters regularly to avoid a fire hazard.
