Can anyone help....I want to buy a cooker extractor hood but need some advice - the sales assistants in the kitchen stores could not help!
I wanted to buy one of those stainless steel column & glass type hoods (eg Baumatic BT6.3gl) but Im not sure how these operate. I believe that integrated hoods have an enclosed extractor fan which is built into external wall & the cupboard casing surrounds the hood unit with a front panel that lifts up to operate the hood - therefore unit must be attached to external wall. The steel `column` type hoods do not appear to attach to the wall & I cannot work out where the extractor fan is, so Im not sure if it is possible to install one in my kitchen as I have gas & water pipes running along the top of the wall where I want the hood installed. Can anyone tell me how they are installed - I do not plan to do it myself, just don't want to buy something & find it not suitable for my kitchen.
