More effective: expels dirty air directly outside.

Safest: it draws fresh air into the kitchen. And security is important, especially in the presence of gas-powered cookers.

Less noisy: the air passes without obstacles making less noise.

It 'easy to get the hood always nice and clean: it takes a soft cloth and mild detergent, without chlorine to avoid to damage the finish. But Faber's advice does not stop here... If you want a perfect result use Clin & Clin. Clin & Clin is a disposable towel developed in our laboratories for cleaning the hood in steel, indispensable to have it always clean, bright and free of unaesthetic fingerprints. During application, Clin & Clin releases on the hood a special film that will protect it for several weeks. During this period, simply use a dry cloth every day to have a hood clean and shiny. The detergent used in the protective tissue is approved by the stringent U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and  can be used safely for other steel surfaces such as hobs, ovens or sinks.

 The extraction capacity and noise levels of Faber hoods are measured according to international standards IEC / EN 61591 and IEC / EN 60704-3 (Sound power), specially prepared by the certification bodies to detect the performance of range hoods. These methods reproduce the typical conditions of installation and operation, therefore provide actual an truthful data. Ask for performance that refers to these standards: you can rely on correct information, complete and reliable as              those we declare. Our laboratory is accredited NEMKO and IMQ and all the performance of the hoods, including the ability of our filters to capture grease and the brightness of the lamps, are measured internally.

Recycling hood: filters fumes and steam cleaning the air by means of charcoal filters and returning it to the kitchen.

Extraction hood: extracts fumes and steam out of the kitchen through a dedicated ducting system.

The noise is generated by the airflow passing through the inside of the hood during operation. We built the internal components of our hoods so that the airflow meets few obstacles in its path, with excellent results in terms of efficiency and low noise An effective way to prevent an increase of noise is to use, for the exhaust of the air, well-sized tubes (120-150 mm in diameter) Dirty and saturated filters can obstruct the air flow: a periodic cleaning (or replacing) of the  filter ensures a smooth flow of air You can also soundproof the hood adopting the innovative technologies that we developed and patented. To learn more, go to the technologies for the silence.

Filters are an integral part of the hood, their maintenance affect the efficacy, safety and noise levels of the hood.

The grease filters protect the motor from grease contained in the steam sucked from the hood. The metal filters of the Faber hoods (Baffle, cassette, modular or synthetic) ensure a high capture of the grease particles. Baffle and cassette capture more than 90% of grease. To keep them efficient it’s sufficient to wash them by hand or machine, on average every 2 months.The synthetic filters that may be present on some old models are not washable and should be replaced when impregnated with grease, about every 2 months.

The anti-odour filter(charcoal filters) are to be installed only on hoods in recycling mode. They are not washable and must be periodically replaced, on average every 3 months.

An effective hood guarantees at least 10 changes of air per hour*. The extraction capacity must be adequate for this purpose. A hood that provides at least 10 changes of air per hour* without exceeding the noise level of 55 dB (A)**, it's comfortable. We have calculated which hoods are able to ensure the comfort, to learn more go to Faber Comfort. Attention: the volume of the kitchen, the length, diameter and number of bends of the pipe to reach the exit hole of the air determine the extraction capacity. Check the extraction capacity you need, go to choose the right hood.
