The attractive
Stoves Richmond S1000 Rail 100cm Chimney Hood looks great and works even better.
Black adorns the stainless steel casing, with a cream finish underneath complemented by a
decorative metal rail.
Simple
push button controls set the hood into motion and quickly clear the air to
capture airborne grease, steam and odours to their fine particles.
There are
three fan speeds to choose from, along with a
booster function that increases the pace to its fullest for up to eight minutes.
This should be used for intense cooking tasks. The lowest setting best suits
boiling, with the second level for
frying and the third speed to tackle
grilling and wok cooking.
Beneath the
250-watt motor, at the bottom of the hood, are
three aluminium grease filters that absorb food residue and can be unclipped, then taken away for cleaning.
Two round LED multi spotlights illuminate the cooking area underneath and are economical, as evidenced by an
A rating for lighting efficiency.
Further grades of A have been achieved for
energy and fluid dynamic productivity, with estimated annual consumption of just 56 kWh.
The air captured by the hood can be either
recirculated or extracted, making it an ideal choice for most living areas.
Recirculation requires an additional charcoal filter that removes any harmful vapours or smell, purifying the air to then pass back through the room.
Extraction requires ducting through an external wall to be directed outside and eliminates the need for carbon filters, which should be changed every four to six months.
Such versatility for operating methods means that the hood can be
at home in a flat, apartment or house, with or without the capacity for venting.
