If a cooker hood is 90cm wide, this also means a fairly large and bulky package. Overall, the package weighed about 20kg. The shipment went smoothly with us. There was no damage to the goods, nor other complaints. This perhaps is also because that did not save on packaging material. Large-fit polystyrene parts protect the sensitive material. Likewise, a protective film is on the surface, which protects against scratches while unpacking.
The hood of Klarstein a whole consists of only three parts. Once the large base with aluminum grease filters and then there are two covers for the ventilation shaft available. Matching fittings included, as an exhaust hose, which can be flexibly adapted to the realities of the kitchen. A German manual is also available, but unfortunately, of little use. In our guidance an entirely different hood and was mapped with the existing measures also did not work itself.
To mount a strong man should be present. It is the first hood that we have installed in our lives and we have managed it despite catastrophic guide! Overall, we drilled 4 holes for mounting to the wall. In addition to the appropriate place will continue to require only an electrical outlet. This is but mostly hidden behind the stainless steel cover and remains invisible later. The height of the hood everyone should vote themselves to his height. The two wall covers can be pushed into each other flexibly as needed here. A certain amount during the assembly does not have to be strictly adhered to.
In addition to the high-quality design that Klarstein hood can through the control panel neatly points. To operate here ranges from a small touch of a finger. So the whole device is switched on or off and serves the individual functions. There are several levels for exhaust available. The lighting can be selectively switched added. Of course you can also use the lighting without the ventilation. A display with blue backlight displays the current settings. Even at the time was thought. This can be adjusted very easily and always displays the current time, even if the device is not in use.
The power is enormous. DC 3 exchangeable aluminum grease filters are located under the hood. Our previous hood had only one filter, although it is also a question of a 90 hood. Where has previously accumulated like the hearty cooking times on the surfaces around the hood a little layer of fat that will not happen that in this hood. She works very effective because spread the filter 3 also almost the complete 90cm and thus also have the opportunity to soak up everything.
What I find particularly noteworthy is the really good lighting. There are a total of 4 halogen bulbs available. Together they illuminate the cooking surface including from perfect. The complete work area is well lit. Unfortunately, here lamp was not yet on LED switched. I'll replace them in order to save even more energy.
Due to the flat roof one is naturally inclined to bring things to the hood. Basically, that's no problem at all, but the stainless steel sheet is a bit thin, and gives slightly. We currently have oil, vinegar and spices off plan, which has not yet developed to the detriment.
Of course, a stainless steel surface also requires something more intensive cleaning action than any other hoods need. The surface is brushed indeed, yet one recognizes fingerprints immediately. Specifically as regards the control panel on the black glass, which is obviously very prone to fingerprints.
The stainless steel hood of Klarstein now depends for some time in our kitchen. She is very reliable and is not too noisy as expected. The visuals are simply gorgeous. Commercially I had lain down twice for a similar model ...
Very strong buy recommendation!
