In the kitchen, a cooking battlefield, the range hood was originally our right-hand man to exhaust the fumes, silently guarding the air in the kitchen and the health of our families. But do you often have such doubts?
The range hood is obviously working hard, but when you are stir-frying, the billowing smoke is still drifting around, as if in a silent protest with your range hood, why are you driving the range hood to fry or the smoke is overflowing?
Why is that? Let's take a look at what the problem is.
1. Misunderstandings of using range hoods
In many people's cognition, we must close the doors and windows when we stir-fry, and the smoke is more concentrated in the closed space, so that the range hood can have a better oil absorption effect. However, the truth is very different from what we imagined.
On the contrary, when we close the doors and windows, the air flow in the kitchen will be restricted, and the oil smoke will not be eliminated quickly, but will linger indoors.
It is recommended that:
When we use the range hood in stir-frying, we should let the kitchen window open a gap of about 10 cm, so as to ensure that the range hood is effectively discharged, and will not form convective air and affect the normal operation of the range hood.
If your range hood doesn't work well, first you can try this simple method and see if it's much better after doing so.
2. The check valve is faulty
Eliminate the blockage of the flue, and there may be a problem with the check valve, which is also something that we cannot ignore. Our kitchen has two check valves, one of which is mainly used for smoke exhaust, if this check valve forgets to open, the range hood will be affected,
When cooking, smoke billows and chokes on yourself. Another check valve is to prevent the backflow of oil fumes, if there is a problem, it cannot be closed properly or the seal is not tight.
This can lead to the introduction of oil fumes in the public flue. It may also be that the check valve is not working properly due to adhesion, and the check valve needs to be inspected and repaired.
It is recommended that:
Check the oil stain on the check valve in time, if the damage is serious, you need to replace the check valve to ensure that both check valves are working normally, so that the air in the kitchen can become fresh and the cooking environment is more comfortable.
3. There may be problems with the flue of the range hood
As an important channel for exhaust gas discharge from the range hood, the range hood flue will seriously affect the working effect of the range hood if it is blocked, leaked or improperly installed.
Flue blockage may not occur often, but it may be caused by the accumulation of oil stains due to long-term uncleaned; If the air leaks, the fumes will not be able to be discharged smoothly and will be poured back into the kitchen. When you find that you have used a range hood at home, but it is still overflowing, you should check the flue in time.
It is recommended that:
It can clean the oil stain in the flue to ensure that it is unobstructed; Check whether the flue connection is well sealed, and repair it in time if there is a problem. Let's pay attention to the flue problem and keep the kitchen away from the trouble of oil smoke.
4. The cleaning problem of the range hood
The range hood is our right-hand man to suck away the fumes, and its hygiene problems cannot be ignored. If you don't clean the hood for a long time, it will bring many problems.
If a thick layer of oil accumulates on the surface of your range hood, this will not only affect the overall appearance of our kitchen, but also make the kitchen look cluttered and the desire to cook will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the oil pollution will also block the oil network and exhaust outlet of the range hood, thereby reducing the exhaust effect of the range hood. When you are cooking, the whole house will be filled with oil smoke, which will not only pollute the air but also cause harm to the human body.
Cooking in such a situation for a long time will not only cause respiratory diseases, but also affect the service life of the range hood due to the accumulation of oil stains.
It is recommended that:
Be sure to clean it regularly, clean the oil net every month, clean it every few months, you can use professional detergents or find professionals to clean, develop good habits, keep the kitchen ventilated, and clean up the oil stains splashed on the range hood in time.
5. The quality of the range hood is not up to standard
There is a lot of oil smoke when stir-frying, and another reason may be that the quality of the range hood itself is not up to par. There are a variety of range hoods on the market, and many people will be attracted by the slightly cheaper price, thinking that the price is cheap, but in fact, in the process of use, it is impossible to achieve the effect.
These range hoods may have poor suction power, and harsh noise, and they will break down after a few years of use, and if you buy such a range hood, even if you open it, the kitchen will still be filled with a lot of oil smoke.
It is recommended that:
When choosing a range hood, be sure to choose a brand range hood with good quality and good smoking effect. This not only ensures the freshness of the air in the kitchen, but also avoids the subsequent annoyances caused by the failure of the hood!
summary
To prevent still spilling smoke when stir-frying, it is important to choose the right range hood. Pay attention to opening in advance, adjust the wind according to the cooking situation, and let the range hood run for a while after cooking. Only by mastering the correct method can the range hood fully play its role and protect the freshness of the kitchen and the health of the family.
