🚨 Buying a kitchen chimney? Don’t make these 5 common mistakes!
The wrong chimney can leave your kitchen smoky, greasy, and full of cooking odours. Before buying one for your modular kitchen, check these 5 important things! 👇
✅ 1. Chimney Size: Choose a chimney that matches or exceeds your hob width. A 60 cm chimney generally suits a 60 cm hob, while a 90 cm model is often suitable for a wider hob.
✅ 2. Suction Power: For heavy Indian cooking, consider a chimney with around 1,200–1,500 m³/h suction capacity, depending on your cooking habits, kitchen layout, and ducting.
✅ 3. Ducted vs. Ductless: Ducted chimneys expel smoke and cooking odours outdoors, while ductless models recirculate filtered air. Choose according to your kitchen layout and ventilation requirements.
✅ 4. Filter Type: Baffle filters are a popular choice for Indian cooking because they handle oil and grease effectively. Check the manufacturer’s cleaning and maintenance recommendations.
✅ 5. Installation Height: Maintain the manufacturer’s recommended distance between the hob and chimney. A common guideline is around 26–30 inches for many gas hobs, but the correct clearance depends on the appliance model.
💡 Pro Tip: Don’t choose a chimney based on looks alone. Check the hob width, suction capacity, filter type, ducting requirements, noise level, and installation clearance before making your decision.
