Which vent hood for a 48' range
Comments (7)One thing you should keep in mind when you shopping around for a range hood to go over a 48â stove, is the size of the hood. Many (almost all) American-type brands are made with good quality but are pretty oversized and bulky. Even though itâÂÂs a âÂÂcommercialâ look, which may complement a traditional kitchen design, it will block much of the view, which is especially important if your kitchen is shared with the living room or has a view of the outside. On the other hand, European-type range hoods, even though they usually have the same suction power, are typically much more slim and âÂÂlighterâÂÂ, and would complement a modern or contemporary kitchen very well. I think your decision has to be based not on somebody elseâÂÂs advice, but on your own considerations of your kitchen design and personal taste. Some people like great big bulky commercial-style hoods, some people like slim and futuristic. In your case, the overall look doesnâÂÂt make any difference, since itâÂÂs going to be hidden inside the cabinet (whatever the reason is) - as long as the quality of the product is good....See MoreHood/Venting for 48" range
Comments (5)They make vents for ranges like this that have the motor that runs the fan outside up on the roof. Its not big - just sits in a metal roof cap thing. This pulls the air out, instead of pushing it up. When I got mine (with six burners, griddle and grill) they recommended this method due to the amount of heat all this generated. The unexpected benefit to me was that even though you still hear the significant air flow noise, the fan noise is outside so it is quieter than the alternatives. Usually I like more room on either side of the range, but with a larger range, you find there is room on top of the range to move things around, so the relatively small counter space on either side should be just fine. As for the size and the upper cabinets, I wish I had listened to them when they suggested a wider capture area in the hood. Going with a hood a little wider than the range would have been best. I'd give up the uppers to get better performance. Or perhaps another look like small open shelves that hold your oils and vinegar, etc, could work. Good luck!...See Morewhat size vent hood for 48" range?
Comments (3)... and potentially back-drafting any combustion appliances, thereby pulling carbon monoxide into the house. A salesman pushing an obviously too narrow hood should be {insert favorite medieval torture here}. In general, when one moves to a Pro-like cooking appliances for the purpose of serious cooking, one has to also incorporate adequate ventilation unless grease on everything is deemed acceptable....See MoreRecommendation For A Rear Venting Insert Liner for Kitchen Hood
Comments (19)Thanks for help. FWIW, the distance from concrete soffit to floor is 7 feet as expected. I have narrowed it down to either Zephyr or Kobe insert liner as both have the horizontal vent in the rear. The horizontal attachment will be moved slightly to the left as that will be where the new cooktop will be moved. I am assuming that there will be some kind of attachment to the current opening which vents to the building's venting system - whence it goes after it leaves my kitchen I have no cares as long as it passes inspection. I am not familiar with either of these brands - does anyone have any recommendations as to one or the other. My venting needs frankly are minimal as I don't deep fry and will have an induction cooktop. I am considering mid range in each brand: KOBE CORE COLLECTION - This retails for about $850. It's ADA compliant with a remote which seems like it would be more convenient than reaching for controls under the cabinet. Monsoon I Insert Monsoon I takes one-piece liners to the next level. Includes dual-level halogen lights, and ADA-compliant wireless remote control, 6-speed electronic controls and either a powerful 600 CFM blower (30″ and 36″ models) or 1,200 CFM blower (42″ and 48″ models). ACT™ available on all models. Vertical and horizontal Zephyr - I couldn't find any functional difference in these two models except one has slightly higher CFM but I am sure the lower would be perfectly adequate for my needs DELUXE IN26 SQB-650-5A BUILT IN / INSERT 30" - 36" 700 CFM $803.49 PREMIUM IN2630SQB-700-2 BUILT IN / INSERT 30" - 30" 750 CFM Build.com $771...See MoreHU-993723755
