What are the advantages and disadvantages of side-suction range hoods? Why does the range hood not work?

Installing a range hood in the kitchen can exhaust indoor fumes. If you install a ceiling-type range hood at home, your head will often hit the range hood when cooking, or you have to lean back a lot, which is very uncomfortable. However, at this time, the side-suction range hood is on the market, which solves your practical troubles? Let's take a look at it together.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of side suction range hoods?

1. Oil fume separation: The patented product in the side-suction range hood - the oil fume separation plate, completely solves the problem of difficult to remove oil fume from top-type cooking with high heat. The oil fume separator is used to effectively separate the range hood, increase the service life of the fan, and achieve the oil fume extraction effect more effectively.

2. No head hit: Users of Chinese-style range hoods and T-shaped range hoods must have this problem: when cooking, their heads often hit the range hood, or they have to lean back a lot, which is very uncomfortable. However, side-suction range hoods do not have this defect. The range hood is 20cm-40cm away from the outer edge of the countertop, so people will not feel depressed.

3. Not yet mature: There are few styles of side-suction range hoods, and the smoke collecting cavity is often not integrated, which makes cleaning more troublesome and noisy. There are few styles because the development has only been a few years and the technology is not strong enough. It is more troublesome to clean, which means that it needs to be cleaned frequently, not that it is difficult to clean, because the side-suction range hood is very close to the stove.

4. Loss of heat energy and space: Although side-suction range hoods have the characteristics of high suction rate and comfortable use, they may also cause users to lose heat energy and cooking space during the cooking process. Since the working surface of the side-suction range hood is very close to the cooking area, the suction too close may cause a thin local oxygen supply, which will cause incomplete combustion of coal gas or natural gas and increase the user's gas consumption.

Why does the range hood not turn on?

1. The power cord may be short-circuited or the joint may be desoldered, causing the range hood motor to stop rotating. In this case, you should first carefully check where the short circuit is and where the connection is not done properly.

2. If the range hood vibrates violently, you should consider its quality and internal motor problems. If you encounter this problem, you should take corresponding measures. If it is poorly fixed, use rubber to fix them. Then readjust the main shaft and maple leaf, and the problem can be solved.

3. Poor range hood performance will also cause the range hood motor to not rotate. If this happens, appropriate adjustments need to be made. The sealing strip can be replaced to make it tightly sealed, and the doors and windows should be opened appropriately to reduce the pressure difference between indoor and outdoor. If necessary, a voltage stabilizer can be configured, and oil stains should be handled in time when the air intake passage is in place.

How to clear the range hood alarm

1. Check whether the automatic smoke exhaust of the range hood is turned off. The automatic smoke exhaust device will automatically exhaust the smoke. If the range hood is turned off, too much oil will accumulate and cause the range hood to alarm. At this time, you can turn on the automatic smoke exhaust device again and clean the oil on the range hood.

2. Check whether the gas sensor is normal. The gas sensor can detect the oil content and whether the natural gas is leaking, purify the oil, etc. If the gas sensor is broken and the oil cannot be purified, it may also cause the range hood to alarm. At this time, the gas sensor should be replaced and the natural gas should be checked for leakage.

3. The smoke sensor may be broken. You can turn off the smoke sensor or reinstall a new one.

4. If there is a pipeline leak or an interface leak, some natural gas will leak out when you ignite the fire to cook. Open the window to ventilate and it will return to normal.

5. The range hood has been used for too long, causing the internal components of the range hood to age. In this case, the range hood should be disassembled and new internal parts should be reinstalled.

6. The aging of the internal control circuit may also cause the range hood smoke alarm to react abnormally. In this case, the internal electronic circuit needs to be replaced.

7. Check the instruction manual to see if the screws of the range hood are loose, if the suction is normal, and if the fan is loose. If these problems occur, please ask the manufacturer's professional maintenance personnel to perform repairs.

8. Unplugging the power supply can also solve the problem of range hood alarm.
