Hood cleaning
First disarm the fire suppression system if you have one. Turn off all appliances gas pilot lights. cover appliances with card board and than with plastic. Remove filters and scrape grease. After scraping grease spray chemical in entire hood system from top to bottom. Let chemical work for 20 minutes and than steam clean it. You can watch video at my site how to do it. I hope it helps you. Do not forget fire system needs to be armed after cleaning done.
Remove the filter and clean it with a degreaser. Mean Green, Spray Power, or a similar product will work well.
Range hoods are things that hang from the ceiling over a stove. They collect all the grease and steam that come up from the stove. They prevent some accidents too somehow. They are used in restaurant kitchens often.
The distance should be 30 inches between stove top and hood.
You can get your stove's range hood replaced at a local homeware store or you can call a specialist. You can find a specialist to fix the hood in your local Yellow pages.
Most hoods are standardized. For a normal stove, any non-industrial hood should be fine.
The fire thing
campana de la estufa
Installing a kitchen hood in the home will keep your kitchen cleaner. Place the kitchen hood over the stove to trap the heat from the stove top as well as the oven. The heat will not get in the rest of the home as much as if there was not a hood. When you are cooking, the hood will also prevent grease from splattering all over the counters and ceiling. The hood can easily be removed if you don't want it anymore or if it needs to be cleaned.
I had the same question. I researched it and it appears that the answer is a minimum of 24" above the stove or between 60" and 75" off the floor. This puts the hood at a comfortable height for the typical user. B.D.
One would use a hood filter over a stove (also called a range) that has an exhaust fan mounted in a hood over the stove. The filter is used to trap large particles and pollutants and prevent them from recirculating, improving the air quality in the kitchen and surrounding areas.
The Broan Allure III QS336 36" Under Cabinet Range Hood is a canopy hood that goes above the stove. This type of hood has a ducted exhaust that will help ventilate the area.
