Kitchen Chimney Installation

Installing a kitchen chimney is a critical step in ensuring a smoke-free and clean cooking environment. The size of the chimney should be appropriate for the hob, ideally extending slightly beyond its dimensions for optimal smoke absorption. The distance between the hob and the chimney is crucial; it should be within the range of 26 to 30 inches to prevent fire hazards and ensure effective smoke extraction. For ducted chimneys, a durable material like stainless steel or aluminum is recommended, and the ducting should have minimal bends to maintain suction efficiency. If a cut-out for the duct is needed, it should be made at a height of 7 feet from the floor level on the external wall of the kitchen, ensuring it aligns correctly with the chimney’s position for effective installation.
