Accessories
different accessories to personalize the hood, practical and easy to apply. Glass fronts, splashbacks and shelves to be chosen separately and matched on the installed hood according to your tastes and needs.
Air capacity
indicates the volume of air sucked in an hour. It is measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/h)
Baffle filter
a metallic grease filter patented by Faber that offers professional effectiveness (it captures more than 90% of the grease particles). It is washable by hand or dishwashers
Body
the part of the hood that contains the extraction unit and conveys the air. On its surface are allocated the controls
Charcoal filters
these anti-odour filters are mounted only on recycling hoods. They are made of active carbon which traps bad odours. The charcoal filters lose their effectiveness after three months of normal functioning and must be replaced.
Chimney
is part of the hood placed over the body: it covers the extraction unit and/or part of the ducting system. There are different sizes depending on the height of the ceiling where the hood is to be installed.
Comfort panel
a sound-proofing cushion that together with the perimeter aspiration reduces the perceived noise by 25%
Corner Adapter
needed for the installation of some particular corner hoods that do not have a sharp edge in the back
Delayed switch-off
electronic timer that automatically turns off the hood after a settled time.
Dish drainer
convenient draining element to be combined with certain models of hoods
Ducting system
all the pipes that convey outside the air. The diameter of the ducting system affects the effectiveness of your hood. The optimum diameter is 150 mm
Easy Cube
system that allows an easy and accurate mounting of the hood.
Easy Dismounting
system that allows a quick removal of the extraction unit for an easy maintenance.
Electronic Controls
controls interface that allows you to use all the electronic functions of your hood in a simple and immediate way, or even automatically. The hoods equipped with electronics have additional functions that improve the comfort use of the hood.
Extraction hood
the functioning mode of the hood that extracts fumes and steam out of the kitchen by means of a ducting system. It is the recommended functioning mode.
Extraction Unit
installed inside the hood, it is composed of motor and impeller. It allows the air intake.
Finish
indicates materials and (possibly) colours that characterize the aesthetics of your hood.
Flat air-duct system
special flat pipes that can be hidden from view to avoid imperfections in the kitchen.
Grease filter
a filter that protects the motor from the grease contained in the fumes and steam captured by the hood. All the hoods are equipped with a grease filter.
Input
the value in watts (W) of the hood's energy absorption while in operation. The value varies depending on the speed selected and the turning on/off of the lights.
Installation typology
the position of the hood over the hob: 1. wall 2. corner 3. island 4. integrated 5. built-in
Intensive speed
the maximum air capacity of the engine
Intensive Speed
highest air capacity for 10 minutes in case of special cooking (fried / grilled).
Key 24
electronic mode of operation of the hood for a continuous changing of the air in perfect silence. Ideal for maintaining healthy environment even when not cooking
Lighting
the hoods are equipped with lights to illuminate the cooking surface. Under this heading are listed the type, the number and the absorption (W).
Mechanical pushbutton
controls interface that allows you to turn on, adjust and turn off the hood manually. You can also turn on the light to illuminate the hob
Noise level
expresses in dB (A) the noise generated by the hood during operation. The noise is mostly generated by the flow of air that is created inside the hood during aspiration.
Perimeter Aspiration
a technology that uses the Venturi effect to increase the speed of the sucked air by reducing the inlet slots. We developed the perimeter extraction by adding sound-proofing panels to reduce noise dramatically. The perimeter aspiration allows innovative aesthetics and easy cleaning
Pressure
the ability to send the sucked air out through the pipes. The pressure is measured in Pa (Pascal. 1 Pa = 1 N / m²).
Recycling hood
the functioning mode of the hood that filters fumes and steam from the air by means of charcoal filters and returns it to the kitchen.
Remote control
accessory that allows a remote control of the hood.
Saturated filter indicator
electronic light that indicates when to replace filters
Shelf
a metal grilled support for putting plates and ladles upon.
Silent Kit
kit consisting of two sound-proofing cushions which reduce the perceived noise by 25%
Speed
the regimes of the engine in operation. The highest sequence number indicates a greater extraction capacity.
Splashback
it protects the walls between the cooking top and the hood from eventual splashes from the cooking. It is matched to the finish of the hood
