Tips on choosing a cooker hood

    • Cooking vapours do not rise straight up but fan out over an angle of between 10 and 15 degrees. Choose a wider model so that cooking fumes are extracted effectively. 

      For a good result the cooker hood must be at least the full width of the hob. The maximum height of your cooker hood also plays a role.

    • Since 1 January 2015 cooker hoods have an energy label, with the exception of recirculation cooker hoods and cooker hoods without a motor. Novy adds extra criteria, which are even more important when choosing the right kitchen ventilation solution.

       

      Novy introduces EcoSmart: a series of models that use energy even more efficiently.

      As a specialist, Novy supports the trend towards appliances that use less energy. As a manufacturer we have pushed back the boundaries to achieve this, without sacrificing the basic requirements for a cooker hood: it must remove all odours and cooking fumes effectively and quietly. 


      With the EcoSmart label Novy has introduced a wide range of products that use up to 85% less energy. With an energy-saving motor which is also extra quiet and LED lighting, the level of energy consumption when the cooker hood is in operation has fallen drastically. All products with an EcoSmart label score A or A+ for energy efficiency.

       

    • The cooker hood is fitted with a peripheral extraction system. This means that extraction is concentrated at the edges of the cooker hood. This results in a faster air flow and improves the extraction output.
