More effective: expels dirty air directly              outsideSafest: it draws fresh air into the              kitchen. And security is important, especially in the presence of              gas-powered cookersLess noisy: the air passes              without obstacles making less noise

 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.<strong>Ask for performancethatrefersto thesestandards</strong>: 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              kitchenExtraction hood: extracts fumes and steam              out of the kitchen through a dedicated ducting system

Filters are an integral part of the hood, their maintenance affect              the efficacy, safety and noise levels of the hood Thegrease 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 Where can I find thefilters ? find the after              sales service

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.

 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                * Fan Handbook - F. Bleier 1998 ** Sound measure - Brüel &                Kjaer 1986 / Noise and Vibration Control Engineering - Beranek;                ver 1992

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.
