Q: What type of controls are
available?
A: We have a wide range of controls
available, including touch controls,
rocker switches and push buttons.
You should have no trouble
matching the buttons and fascia of
your preferred cooker hood to the
rest of your kitchen.
Q: What type of filters can I choose
and how often do I need to clean
them?
A: We have three main types of filter:
Metal grease filters
Metal grease filters efficiently
remove grease and other solid
particles out of the air. Like most
of our filters, they need to be
cleaned about twice a month to
keep them operating effectively.
Q: What types of hoods do
you offer?
A: All Bosch cooker hoods offer
extraction and recirculation.
Extraction
Ducting out is the most effective
method of extraction but means
the hood needs to be set on
an outside wall, or have access
to one. Air is then ducted out
through a small outlet of up to
150mm diameter.
Recirculation
If ducting out is not possible,
the hood can be purchased with
a recirculating kit accessory.
This works by extracting odours
and grease and then returning
purified air to the room. By using
both charcoal and grease filters,
recirculation is still an effective
method of removing odours
and moisture.
Brushed steel filters
We also have standard metal
filters which are located behind
a stylish brushed steel cover. This
hides grease and keeps the finish
of the hood sleek.
Telescopic hoods have
an indicator light that comes
on when the filters need to be
cleaned. If you have a hood that
uses recirculating, the charcoal
filters will need to be replaced
from time to time.
