What fan speeds and type of circulation do you offer for your hoods
ILVE hoods are designed to provide powerful and efficient ventilation for your kitchen. They offer multiple fan speeds and effective air circulation to ensure that smoke, odors, and grease are removed from the cooking area. Here’s a detailed look at the fan speeds and types of circulation available for ILVE hoods:
1. Fan Speeds
ILVE hoods typically offer multiple fan speeds to allow users to adjust the ventilation power depending on their cooking needs. Common configurations include:
3 to 4 Fan Speeds: Most ILVE hoods feature at least three or four fan speeds, providing flexibility for different levels of cooking intensity. For example:
Low Speed: Ideal for light cooking and minimal ventilation needs, such as simmering or boiling.
Medium Speed: Used for moderate cooking, like frying or sautéing, where more ventilation is required.
High Speed: Best for heavy-duty cooking tasks, such as grilling or searing, where significant smoke and odors are produced.
Intensive/Boost Mode: Some ILVE hoods come with an additional intensive or boost mode, which provides maximum ventilation power for a short period to quickly clear the kitchen of smoke and odors(Nostalgie Style Hoods (UAG30, UAG36, UAG40, UAG48, UAG60), (Majestic Style Hoods (UAM76, UAM90, UAM100, UAM120, UAM150).
2. Types of Air Circulation
ILVE hoods offer different types of air circulation depending on your kitchen setup and ventilation needs:
Ducted/Extracted Ventilation:
Ducted Ventilation: In a ducted setup, the hood extracts air from the kitchen and expels it outside through a ventilation duct. This type of circulation is highly effective in removing heat, moisture, smoke, and odors from the kitchen. ILVE hoods are compatible with ducted installation, making them a great choice for homes where external venting is possible(Nostalgie Style Hoods (UAG30, UAG36, UAG40, UAG48, UAG60)(Majestic Style Hoods (UAM76, UAM90, UAM100, UAM120, UAM150).
Recirculating Ventilation:
Recirculating Ventilation: For kitchens where ducting to the outside is not an option, ILVE hoods can be installed as recirculating hoods. In this configuration, the hood uses filters (typically charcoal filters) to clean the air before recirculating it back into the kitchen. While not as effective as ducted ventilation in removing heat and moisture, recirculating hoods still effectively reduce odors and airborne grease(Professional Plus Style:UAGQ30, UAGQ36, UAGQ40, UAGQ48, UAGQ60).
3. Filtration Systems
ILVE hoods are equipped with high-quality filtration systems to ensure efficient air cleaning:
Anodized Aluminum Filters: These filters are durable and effective at capturing grease and particulates. They can be easily removed and washed, making maintenance simple(Majestic Style Hoods (UAM76, UAM90, UAM100, UAM120, UAM150).
Stainless Steel Baffle Filters: Some ILVE hoods, particularly in the more professional-style models, use stainless steel baffle filters. These filters are designed to trap grease while allowing air to flow efficiently through the hood.
Charcoal Filters: For recirculating setups, charcoal filters are used to neutralize odors before the air is recirculated back into the kitchen. These filters typically need to be replaced periodically to maintain their effectiveness(Professional Plus Style: UAGQ30, UAGQ36, UAGQ40, UAGQ48, UAGQ60).
Summary
Fan Speeds: ILVE hoods generally offer 3 to 4 fan speeds, with some models including an intensive or boost mode for maximum ventilation power.
Circulation Types: ILVE hoods support both ducted (extracted) and recirculating ventilation, providing flexibility based on your kitchen’s layout and ventilation options.
Filtration: ILVE hoods are equipped with efficient filtration systems, including anodized aluminum or stainless steel baffle filters, and optional charcoal filters for recirculating setups.
ILVE hoods are designed to provide powerful, customizable ventilation solutions that enhance your cooking experience and maintain a clean, odor-free kitchen environment.
