Buying a telescopic hood: what should you keep in mind?

Always ask yourself the following when buying a telescopic range hood: *Do you need a range hood with or without a motor? *What are the niche dimensions of your kitchen cabinet? *Do you want a range hood with automatic switch on/off?

Before choosing a telescopic range hood, first look at the exhaust system in your home. It's important that your new range hood is suitable for your exhaust system. You can choose from a model with or without a motor. Not sure which type you need? We're happy to help you make the right choice.

It's important that you measure the dimensions of the kitchen cabinet in which you place the hood. If you don't do this, you have the chance that the range hood doesn't fit. Measure the niche width, height, and depth. Next, consult the installation drawing on the product page. This way, you know exactly whether the appliance fits in your kitchen or not.

You turn on most telescopic range hoods with the control buttons on the device. But there are also range hoods that switch on and off automatically. When you pull the screen towards you, the range hood turns on. Finished cooking? Push the screen back and the device switches off automatically. This way, you avoid unnecessary energy costs.

You mount your telescopic range hood in your kitchen cabinet. Use the installation material to secure everything properly. Do you use an exhaust ventilation system? Order an exhaust ventilation pipe with the correct diameter to vent the cooking fumes outside. When you convert the device into a recirculation hood, where fresh air blows back into the room, you need carbon filters or a recirculation set. This is stated on the product page.

Always consult the assembly manual of the supplier to install the device.
