In both Romance and Germanic languages, there are two meanings for the word inclination.
The first indicates an angle that a line or plane forms when it meets another line or plane, horizontal or vertical.
The other one, decidedly more “abstract”, indicates tendency, propensity, or natural disposition towards something.
Now, having made this necessary linguistic incipit, let’s talk about extractor hoods for catering….
The labyrinth filters mounted on the hoods normally have an inclination of around 45 degrees off the horizontal plane.
What varies is rather the height at which the hood is installed., which must comply with the legal regulations (I won’t go into specifics there: these are different not only from country to country but even on a local basis).
Let’s say that, as a general rule, the inclination of the filters is inversely proportional to the height: the lower the hood (closer to the cooking area), the fewer degrees of inclination the filters will have (to the detriment of their efficiency).
On the other hand, the closer these are to the cooking area, the better they will capture the fumes without dispersing them into the kitchen.
The inclination is useful, as it helps to discharge the cooking fats into the dip tray.
But obviously, there shouldn’t be too much inclination… otherwise these damn lipids will fall onto the cooking area by gravity!
Quite the conundrum, huh?
Naaa… not that much.
A good installer will certainly know how to advise you.
Rather, choose a hood produced by those who know how to make them!
Be inclined to choose the quality of Aluminox!
