If you have a gas range top, you should turn on the fan feature of your range hood any time you are cooking on the stovetop. If you have an electric cooktop on an induction cooktop, you may want to flick on the range hood fan if your dish is steaming, smoking, or oil-based.
You may also benefit from other features available in a range hood. Aside from the popular range hood light, many range hoods include features for easy cleaning and even for increased cooking awareness. For instance, you might want a range hood with a removable grease filter for cleaning purposes or a range hood with a temperature sensor that can alert you to overheating issues on the cooktop.
When it comes to choosing the best under-cabinet range hood and installing it correctly, a lot comes down to the design and dimensions of your space. If your kitchen does not have a ventilation duct, you may need a ductless range hood. For professional assistance, schedule an appointment with Best Buy’s appliance delivery and installation service.
