How do integrated rangehoods work?

Blending the power of a rangehood with the convenience of a cooktop — integrated cooktop rangehoods are marvels of modern kitchen engineering.

All wrapped in one sleek unit, integrated rangehoods feature powerful ventilation systems that capture airborne particles and direct them away from your cooking area. This targeted approach ensures optimal air quality, making your culinary endeavours enjoyable and stress-free.

By harnessing the power of two appliances in one, cooktops with integrated rangehoods seamlessly meld into your kitchen design. This banishes the need for clunky overhead rangehoods while elevating aesthetics and functionality.

6 Tips to Maintain Your Rangehoods and Keep Your Kitchen Fresh and Clean:

1. Regular filter cleaning

Neglected filters can lead to clogging which reduces your rangehood’s extraction efficiency. This makes it harder for the rangehood to capture smoke, steam, and grease effectively — resulting in lingering odours and poor air quality in the kitchen.

When upgrading to an integrated rangehood, choose ones with easy-to-remove filters. Features like quick-release mechanisms and dishwasher-safe filters make the unit easier to clean.

2. Check ventilation ducts

Failing to inspect and clean ventilation ducts can cause blockages that restrict airflow. This reduces the rangehood's ability to remove airborne particles, leading to a less efficient ventilation system.

Choose integrated rangehoods with accessible ventilation ducts so they’re easier to unblock and maintain. By removing any build-up, you improve airflow and enjoy a fresher kitchen environment.

3. Clean external surfaces

Just because rangehoods aren’t directly used for cooking doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be part of housekeeping. Regularly wipe down your rangehood’s surfaces with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. This maintains its appearance and prevents the build-up of grime.

Opt for rangehoods that come with stainless steel and easy-clean surfaces that resist fingerprints and all kinds of stains. This keeps your kitchen looking sleek and tidy.

4. Maintain exhaust fan blades

Dust and grease build-up on fan blades will reduce your rangehood’s ventilation power. This makes it harder to extract smoke and odours which could affect flavours and cooking experiences.

Choose rangehoods with removable fan blades for convenient cleaning and maintenance. By tending to your rangehood’s exhaust ability, you whisk away any cooking byproducts and enjoy an odour-free kitchen.

5. Check and replace carbon filters

If your rangehood has carbon filters for recirculating air, check and replace them as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain effective odour removal.

Look for rangehoods with indicator lights or timers to remind you when it's time to check and replace your carbon filters. This helps you trap odour particles and preserve your kitchen’s freshness.

6. Schedule professional servicing

Apart from the usual housekeeping routine, having professional servicing done can help you get the most out of your rangehood. This gives technicians the opportunity to address potential issues and ensure peak performance.

Look for integrated rangehoods with flexible installation options as well as an extended manufacturer’s warranty. It’s also great to have a professional check your unit at least once a year to prevent large and costly repairs down the line.

What should I know before getting a cooktop with an integrated rangehood?

Apart from your kitchen layout, size, and cooking habits — ventilation power, installation options, noise levels and innovative features are important aspects that should be considered before investing in an integrated rangehood.
