Are the doors and windows closed?

When using the range hood on a regular day, if the kitchen doors and windows are not closed, the indoor air will form convection, making it difficult for the range hood to suck away the kitchen fumes. It will run to another room.

If your home has an open kitchen, it is best to close the windows, leaving a small gap to prevent air convection and fumes from filling the room. Additionally, once the fumes are absorbed by cotton products, the smell cannot dissipate for a long time, so it is best to keep the doors and windows closed while cooking.

If the doors and windows are closed, a negative pressure zone will form in the kitchen, reducing the suction power of the range hood and increasing the noise.

Therefore, it is recommended to keep the doors and windows closed, but the windows should be left slightly open to ensure normal air circulation, allowing the range hood to work better.

Will you turn off the range hood immediately after cooking?

The answer is no!

Many people are accustomed to turning off the range hood as soon as the food is cooked. In fact, this is unacceptable. After all, the fumes do not dissipate immediately after cooking.

Although the range hood consumes some electricity, if it is turned off immediately, the remaining fumes in the kitchen will not be sucked away, making the kitchen greasy.

Additionally, when we use gas stoves and gas burners in the kitchen, harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide are produced. Long-term inhalation can damage lung function to some extent.

Therefore, after cooking, we should not turn off the range hood immediately; it is best to let it continue working for a few minutes until the fumes dissipate and all these gases are removed, reducing indoor air pollution.
