Hoods
Keep air fresh and free of cooking smells
Extractor hoods are an integral part of a clean and fresh working kitchen environment.
Not only do Bosch extractor hoods look good and add a professional touch to your
kitchen, they also deal quietly and efficiently with the key tasks of eliminating unwanted
odours and removing grease and moisture from the kitchen.
Chimney extractor hoods
Choose between wall-mounted models or an island version to create a striking focal
point in the kitchen. Some models are further enhanced by glass canopies. Available 60,
70 and 90cm wide.
Chimney extractor easy mounting system
Installing your new cooker hood in the kitchen is quick and straightforward with the
patented easy mounting system. The self-levelling fixing rings allow you to precision
adjust the horizontal position of the hood by up to a 6mm radius.
Slimline extractor
Ideal where an unobtrusive extractor is required. Built into a wall cabinet above the
hob, it can be extended when in use, and retracted when not. Use the special handle
profile accessory, or if you prefer, a matching pelmet from your kitchen supplier. 60 or
90cm wide.
Conventional extractor hoods
Ideal where space is at a premium, these 14cm tall extractors can be mounted directly
to the wall or suspended beneath a reduced height wall cupboard. 60cm wide.
Integrated extractor hoods
Integrated extractor hoods are designed to be mounted between two cabinets with
a matching furniture door affixed to the front.
Canopy extractor hoods
Designed to fit discreetly into the base of a wall cupboard, or specially designed
furniture canopy with operation from below. 60cm wide.
Choosing the correct extractor
As a guideline, the air in the room should be changed 6-12 times per hour.
Calculate the floor area in square metres and multiply by the height of the room
in metres. Then divide the maximum extraction rate (not freeblowing) of the hood
selected by the figure calculated above. The resulting figure should be at least 7,
but preferably as close to 12 as possible.
Example

.
Assume 10 air changes per hour – multiply 39.7m

/h by 10 = 397m
3
/h.
Choose a hood capable of extracting at least this amount of air per hour
– e.g. DWB097A50B (max ducted extraction rate 460m
3
per hour).
To avoid excessive noise, try to select a model which meets the above requirements
on an intermediate speed, rather than at the highest speed.
