What is the difference between a cooker hood and an extractor?

Cooker hoods actively filter the air and/or steam generated while cooking but do not necessarily connect to the outside to disperse the air or steam. Extractors remove air and steam from above the cooker and direct it outside through ducting, but they do not necessarily filter the air as well.

How do I install a new cooking appliance?

How should I measure the space for my new kitchen appliance?

You should measure the depth, width, and height of the available space, and then refer to the kitchen appliance’s cut out measurements to ensure you have enough space. You can also refer to our “How to Measure” guides, which can be found on every individual product page.

Are induction or ceramic hobs better?

Induction hobs use considerably more advanced technology than ceramic hobs. They are safer, they heat up faster, and they are more energy efficient. Induction hobs are more expensive because of this more advanced technology, and you do need induction-ready cookware to use them, but the energy savings to be made justify the initial cost. Ceramic hobs should really only be considered by those on a tight budget. They are cheaper to buy because they use older technology. They are compatible with any cookware, so don’t necessarily require any further upfront investment. However, they are not as energy efficient as induction hobs, and they take significantly longer to heat up, so can contribute to higher energy bills.

Should I buy an integrated cooking appliance?

That depends on how likely you are to move in the near future, and whether you will want to take your cooking appliance with you when you move. Integrated cooking appliances such as our integrated fridge freezers fit seamlessly into any kitchen design, and because they’re built-in to the kitchen, they can save a lot of space. However, the higher level of integration comes at the expense of being more difficult to uninstall and relocate. Not only that, the finish may not match that of your new kitchen.
