AI Summary

This video provides a practical guide to selecting and installing a range hood (extractor fan) for your kitchen, focusing on key factors like suction power, noise levels, and proper installation distance from the cooktop. The speaker emphasizes consulting the product catalog for exact measurements and making informed decisions based on individual kitchen needs.

[00:00]
Consult the product catalog for dimensions

The catalog contains specific dimensions for both electric and gas cooktops. It's essential to open the catalog and check the full measurements before installing the hood.

[01:27]
Minimum suction power

The hood's suction power should be at least 3 times the kitchen's cubic volume per hour (3x m³/h). This ensures proper air filtration.

[01:41]
Consider noise level

Noise is a critical factor since the hood operates while you cook. It's recommended to test the suction strength and noise level by hand in the store before purchasing.

[01:55]
Maintain safe distance

The distance between the hood and the gas or electric cooktop should not be less than 60 centimeters. Some catalogs specify 25 centimeters for certain setups.

[02:08]
Follow safety guidelines for gas vs electric

Catalogs provide different safe distances for electric and gas cooktops. Adherence to these guidelines prevents potential hazards.

[02:21]
Ensure installation awareness

When installing the hood, the client must be informed of all details and be aware of what might happen if guidelines are not followed.

[00:00] ممكن يسبب صداعه وقت تشغيل الشفاط. نفس الكاتالوج اللي بنفتحه ده بيكون فيه مقاس للابتجاز الكهربا وفيه مقاس للابتجاز الغازي. وقت تركيب الشفاط لازم نفتح الكاتالوج بتاعه ونشوف المقاس ده كامل.

[00:30] اشتركوا في القناة

[01:00] من تشغيل الشفاء. وفي شفاءات بمطور واحد او اتنين اه وسود التنزيب برضو ستدخل معي في التسعير. وتوفر قطع الغيار. ممكن تأثر على موضوع السعر. وبعد المنشأ. يعني شفاءات ده صناعة

[01:27] وبتعيش اكتر معلزة. الخلاصة في موضوع الشفاط ده ما يقلش عن تلتبيف من المكعب في الساعة. قوة الشفاط بتاعته او بتاعه. ولو المانور بعيدة عن بتجهزة زي ما يجيب شفاط قوي. وانت بتشتري شفاط شغلي في المحل وحسي قوة الشفط بايدك. والاهم ركزي على

[01:41] الصوت لانها تسمعيني طول ما انت بتطبخ. اختار الشكل اللي يناسبك ويناسب امكانياتك. مهم جدا ان يكون متقفل كويس عشان يكون سهل التنصيب وما يلمش بكتيريا ودهون. مش مهم او الاضاءة او الاشكال اللي بيكون فيها دورانات سواء ستيل بيكون اقل. المسافة

[01:55] بين الشفاط والبتجاز ما بتقلش عن ستين سنتي. وفي كتالوجات بتفرد الخمسة وعشرين سنتي من البتجاز والشفاط عشان لقدر لو ما حصلش حرية. فوقت تركيب الشفاط لازم نفتح الكاتالوج بتاعه ونشوف

[02:08] المقاس ده كامل. طيب حد هيقول لي طب هما برة بيركبوا البتجاز اه بين وبين الشفاط اقل من ستين سنتي. نفس الكاتالوج اللي بنفتحه ده بيكون في مقاس للابتجاز الكهرباء وفي مقاس للابتجاز

[02:21] الغاز. فانا بشوف ان هركب اي بتجاز واعتمده. ولما بركبه بالشكل لازم يكون معرف العميل كل التفاصيل وهو بيكون واعي او مدرك لله يحصل بعد كده.
