1. Choose the Right Size

Ensure it covers the entire cooking area for optimal smoke and odor extraction. A 90 cm wide chimney is suitable for larger cooktops, while 75 cm models work well for standard sizes.

2. Optimal Height Installation

Install the chimney at the recommended height above the cooktop, usually 24-30 inches. This allows for effective capture of smoke and fumes without obstructing your cooking space.

4. Leverage Advanced Filtration

Utilize chimneys with superior filtration systems. Look for features like W-shaped double filters, which increase air intake and filtration area, ensuring better smoke and grease capture during cooking.

5. Consider Noise Levels

Position the chimney to minimize noise impact. Opt for models that operate at lower decibel levels, around 58 dB, striking a balance between powerful suction and quiet operation.
