Modem Kitchens Need Modem Range Hoods
In today's home, the kitchen
is no longer simply "the place
where meals are prepared."
The kitchen's role has be
come more broad in recent
years as it has become a
gathering place or center of
activity in many homes. As
a result, greater emphasis is
placed on making it a pleas
ant and attractive room in
which people feel com forta
ble
A key factor in providing
a comfortable kitchen en
vironment is seeing to it that
the room is properly venti
lated. And the most reliable
and effective means to pro
vide proper kitchen ventila
tion is with a mtxlern range
hood.
Your kitchen may already
be equipped with a range
hood, but it may not be
offering you the advantages
of the models currently on
the market. Range htxxl man
ufacturers have kept pace
with the changing role of the
kitchen and now offer nxxJels
which are responsive to the
increasing demands placed
on that rtx>m.
When it comes to indtxtr
pollution, the kitchen is un
matched by any other room
in the house. It is estimated
that the average kitchen
pr<xluces nearly 200 pounds
or airborne grease per year.
Unchecked, this grease ac
cumulates on walls, cabinets
or appliances, requiring fre
quent cleaning or even re
decorating
Along with the grease,
kitchens also produce an ex
cessive am ount o f heat,
smoke and moisture. These
contaminants also can dirty
kitchen surfaces. Further,
moisture can penetrate walls
and fixtures and accumulate
to the point where it could
cause serious damage.
Of course, odors often ac
company cooking, creating
an unpleasant environment
not only in the kitchen but
in other rooms as well.
Range hoods get nd of all
the pollutants, providing a
fresh, clean and healthful
kitchen environment Ducted
to the outside of the house,
the hixxJs expel these con
taminants to the outside air
where they are harmless. Or,
where such ducting is not
possible, duct-free htxxls with
double-filtering systems are
available. These htxxls fresh
en the air by removing the
undesirable elements during
the filtering process.
A final advantage of newer
range htx xls is quietness The
Home Ventilating Institute
iH V I), a voluntary organiza
tion which certifies pnxluct
performance and establishes
industry standards, tests the
range htxxls manufactured
by its members for levels of
sound produced when in
operation. Measured in sones,
this rating appears on the
labels displayed on the prtxJ-

Range Hood Selection
To do a proper job of
removing kitchen pollutants,
it is important that the range
htxxl be properly selected
and installed. I he HVI offers
a simple formula for calculat
ing the capacity needed for
a range htxxl to effectively
do its job.
H V, recommends a min
imum of 40 CFM (cubic feet
per minute I of capacity per
lineal ftxM of range for against
the wall installations and 50
C FM per lineal foot fo r
peninsula or island installa
tions. The certified CFM
ratings appear on the H VI
labels displayed on all mem
bers' prtxJucts and are your
assurance that the pnxluct
performance has been thor
oughly tested and certified
W'nh respect to installa
tion. H VI recommends that
the htxxl span the entire
length of the range and be
Unrated between 24 and 30
inches above the range.
Range htxxls are accompa
nied by detailed installation
instructions and can be in
stalled as a do-it-yourself
project.
