Characteristics of the Novy cooker hoods

Any high-quality cooker hood will keep your kitchen free from cooking fumes and smells. But only Novy will ensure a pleasantly neutral odour in peace and quiet. For many years, we have been designing cooker hoods according to the highest quality standards. As a result, we combine modern technology, materials and designs to create the most efficient and silent cooker hoods available on the market today.

 

Very silent cooker hoods

Silent cooker hoods become more and more important in todays kitchen.  Novy cooker hoods are the most silent ones on the market.

  • The built-in silencer will eliminate the high and medium frequencies, which are the most irritating ones for the human ear. In addition, the double-walled bottom plate ensures further sound insulation.
  • The specially developed fan was selected by Novy for the very reason that it combines power with silence.
  • Thanks to the rubber silent blocks and the slide-bearing suspension, the stable motor-casing neutralises all noise vibrations.                                   
These three elements ensure a noise reduction of up to fifty percent for the Novy cooker hoods.
  • In position 2, which is the most frequently used position during cooking, most Novy cooker hoods remain below 41 dB(a). Which is the noise level comparable to the one in a library.
  • The maximum exhaust function, the so-called power function, does not produce more noise than 56 dB(a) on any of the models. Just imagine: you can quietly watch telly while your cooker hood is doing overtime.

Optimized extraction power

A cooker hood’s main function is to remove, as efficiently as possible, undesirable smells from the kitchen. 
How to mesure the efficiency of a cooker hood?
Most manufacturers only look at the airflow, in cubic metres per hour, which expresses the extraction capacity of a cooker hood. But pressure is at least as important, i.e. the motor power to actually push this volume of air out. The higher the pressure, the better the volume will be moved through the exhaust system and the faster the fumes will be extracted. Therefore, it is essential to have the right airflow-pressure ratio. 
This is where a Novy cooker hood excels: it does not just extract a large volume of air, but it also pushes it out with great force. This optimum airflow-pressure ratio, in combination with perimeter extraction, enables a high efficiency at low airflows. This also results in a reduced energy consumption, which is important these days, when everyone's talking about energy conservation.

Efficient perimeter extraction

As inventors of the perimeter extraction, and with over forty years of experience, Novy is the unrivalled reference point. 
Perimeter extraction means that the bottom plate is positioned on the cooker hood in such a way that the extraction is concentrated on the rims. The fumes are extracted along the edges.
In addition, these narrow openings create an accelerated extraction. The smaller the surface, the faster the displacement of air. This acceleration contributes to the efficiency of the exhaust system.

Additional advantages of perimeter extraction:

  • Aesthetical: attractive, taut surfaces, also on the bottom
  • Easy cleaning
  • Non-visible grease filter: it’s hidden behind the bottom plate
  • Hygienic: no risk of grease dripping into the food
  • Flame-extinguishing effect

User-friendly

  • Electronic controls with LED indication. 
    The contorls of a Novy cooker hood are very user-friendly. You have the choice between 3 fan settings and a 4th  power speed for extra strong extraction, dimmable spots, and a run on-function, which will automatically stop after 10 minutes, together with the lighting. This run on-function allows the cooker hood to continue its work after cooking, in order to remove the last of the fumes and vapours from the kitchen. Some models are provided with simple electronic operation, a rotary knob or a rocker switch.
  • Remote control
    Remote control is an option on the models with LED indication. Remote control is standard on the Pure’line built-in groups. How convenient to be able to control your cooker hood from a distance.
  • Operation via the hob
    The InTouch induction hobe is equipped with cooker-hood controls, based on RF. No extra cabling is needed.
  • Clear lighting
    The lighting is placed in such a way that the workplace is fully lit and you can see your preparations clearly. If desired, the cooker hood can also operate without lighting. All cooker hoods are equipped with spots – sometimes dimmable ones – low-energy bulbs, or fluorescent tubes
  • Ease of maintenance
    Thanks to its smooth surfaces – no difficulty to reach corners or sharp edges – the Novy cooker hood is very easy to clean. The bottom plate is provided with hinges and a convenient click system. The bottom plate is opened with one simple move, providing access to the easy-to-remove grease filter. It is recommended to clean it once a month, either in the dishwasher or by hand, using ordinary washing-up liquid.
  • Height adjustable to suit your ceiling
    All flues of the decorative hoods are height-adjustable. This way, the hood is adaptable to the situation in your kitchen. If you need any extra extensions, you can order these separately.
  • A solution for every kitchen
    Novy offers a solution for every kitchen. Choose from a range of designs, extraction possibilities and installation options.
     
  • The decorative cooker hood will be a stylish element in your kitchen. The wall models are mounted to the wall in suspended way and the island models are installed over a cooking island.
  • Built-in units are concealed in suspended ceilings or can be built into a made-to-measure decorative hearth.
  • Telescopic hoods are mounted underneath a cabinet. As soon as you pull out the telescopic part, the hood starts to operate.
  • Classic hoods are mounted underneath a cabinet.
  • Integrated hoods are mounted using blockboard. By opening the front door, the hood starts to operate.
  • Large choice in widths
    The width of the cooker hood is determined by the size of the hob and any additional elements built into the working surface. Make sure the cooker hood overlaps the different cooking elements.

Efficient grease filter

The grease filter – a structure manufactured from 7 layers of aluminium in varying densities – filters the cooking air in a highly efficient manner. It is placed in the exhaust channel itself, in order to guarantee maximum collection of grease. The grease filter is invisibly installed, is non-flammable and easy to clean in the dishwasher or kitchen sink.
Novy cooker hoods are developed to extract fumes and to clean them from grease at the right place .

Well-thought designs

Novy cooker hoods are not only very high-quality, they are also breathtakingly beautiful. Real eye-catchers in the kitchen.

  • High-quality raw materials
    All of Novy’s decorative hoods are finished in austenitic inox 304. The other materials used, such as glass and aluminium, are very high-quality as well. 
  • Perfect finishing
    Novy takes great care over the manufacture of your cooking hood. Each hood is hand-finished and is subjected to individual quality checks.
