Calculation of the kitchen volume

The necessary extraction capacity is determined by the volume of the kitchen.
The volume of the kitchen space can be calculated as follows: width x height x depth of the kitchen.
Volume calculation is performed as follows: volume of the kitchen space x 10.
The width of the hood is usually equal to that of the hob. The recommended distance between the hob and the hood is 65 - 75 cm, but it can be less, depending on the cooking hob.
The hood should always be switched on at least a minute before commencing cooking. The power should be set according to how much steam and odour the preparation of an individual dish is expected to generate. It is advisable to leave the hood working for a further ten minutes after completion of cooking.
