To work out the extraction rate you’ll need for your kitchen, calculate the volume of the room in question in cubic metres and multiply by 12. This is to allow for 12 recommended changes of air per hour.

Example: Your kitchen is 6 metres long, 3 metres wide and 2.5 metres high. Multiply the room’s length x width x height to get the cubic capacity: in this case 45m³. If you wanted 12 changes of air per hour, then the extraction rate required would be 12 x 45m³, which is 540m³. So any cooker hood you consider should have a minimum extraction rate of 540m³/hr.

It is important that you check with the manufacturer the minimum height required above your hob.

Heater
