Fresh air makes cooking feel easy. The right hood keeps steam and smell under control and leaves surfaces clean. Match width first. A hood that is at least as wide as the hob will capture more air. If you cook with deep pans or a wok, a wider hood helps.
Think about airflow. Ducted setups move air outside and capture steam well. Recirculating setups keep air inside and clean it with filters. Both work when installed with care. If you recirculate, replace carbon filters on the schedule and wash metal filters in warm water. Dry them fully before you cook again.
Set the height with care. Too high and capture drops. Too low and the space feels tight. A comfortable range is the distance your installer recommends for your model. Turn the hood on a minute before you start and let it run a few minutes after you finish. This keeps the room clear and calm.
With the right size and simple care your FELSEN hood will keep the kitchen fresh every day.
