Choosing the right kitchen chimney is an important decision that can make a huge difference in your cooking space. A good chimney not only keeps your kitchen free from smoke and grease but also ensures you have a healthier environment while cooking. Here's how to pick the best modern kitchen chimney for your home:
1. Determine the Suitable Size
The size of your chimney should correspond to the size of your cooktop to ensure effective suction. Here’s a quick guide:
For a 2-burner stove, go for a 60 cm chimney.
For a 3-burner stove, opt for a 75 cm model.
For a 4-burner stove, a 90 cm chimney is ideal.
Matching the chimney size with your cooktop ensures optimal performance, keeping your kitchen fresh and clean.
2. Assess Suction Power
Suction power, measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/hr), is crucial for the chimney's effectiveness. Higher suction power is needed for Indian cooking, where deep frying and high heat are common.
For smaller kitchens (up to 100 sq ft), a chimney with 1000–1200 m³/hr suction should suffice.
For larger kitchens, go for a model with 1200 m³/hr or more.
The greater the suction power, the better it will eliminate smoke and grease.
3. Choose the Right Filter Type
The filter in your chimney plays a key role in trapping grease and dirt. There are several types of filters:
Mesh Filters: These trap grease but require frequent cleaning.
Baffle Filters: These are more efficient and require less cleaning.
Many modern chimneys use filterless technology, where there are no physical filters. Instead, powerful suction and auto-clean functions take care of the grease, making maintenance a breeze.
4. Ducted vs. Ductless Installation
There are two main types of kitchen chimneys:
Ducted: These expel smoke outside through ducts. They offer better performance, especially for heavy cooking.
Ductless: These recycle air through filters and return it to the kitchen. They are easier to install but less effective for heavy cooking.
5. Auto-Clean Technology
Auto-clean chimneys save you time and effort by removing grease and oil from the internal components. Kutchina’s chimneys, for example, use Dry Auto-Clean technology that melts the grease, which then collects in a tray for easy disposal. This ensures the chimney continues to perform at its best with minimal maintenance.
6. Smart Controls and Low Noise
Modern chimneys often come with smart controls, including touch panels or motion sensors for easy operation. Additionally, to avoid disruptive noise, look for models with noise reduction technology that operates at around 58 dB or lower.
7. Durability and Build Quality
Investing in a chimney with a durable motor and high-quality materials is essential. Kutchina chimneys feature copper-wound motors for longevity and efficient performance. The body is often made of stainless steel or tempered glass, which is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
