2 Which is the diameter of my hood air outlet?
All hoods with a 600m3/h motor require a 122mm diameter pipe.
All hoods with a motor ranging from 600m3/h to 1300m3/h require a 150mm diameter pipe or a 220x90mm ducting.
All hoods with a motor exceeding 1300m3/h require a 200mm diameter pipe.3 Which size is right for my hood?
Falmec suggests to choose hoods wider than your cooking hob:
- by about 10% for wall and island models;
- by about 20-30% for ceiling models.4 Which is the optimum distance between the hood and the hob?
Wall and island hoods optimum distance is:
Ranging from 62 and 75cm with gas hobs.
52cm with induction hobs.Maximum distance of ceiling hoods is of 150cm.
5 What are the most suitable hoods for induction hobs?
Ceiling, wall and island hoods with metallic filters in plain sight, larger than the hob and placed higher than usual (70cm from the hob).
Especially Virgola No-Drop, Professional collection and worktop models.
It's better to avoid sloped, glass hoods with perimetral suction.6 Where can I find tutorials for the installation of the most complex hoods?
For a step by step installation guide check out Falmec Youtube/Vimeo channel and Falmec website Support / Videoguides section!
7 Do pipes and junctions come with the hood?
No, you should order them separately, choosing the ones which are more suitable to your installing solution.

With induction hobs, because they just warm the pot and not the sorrounding area, causing an increase of condensation.
