Teka anodized filters, available in some models, have an anticorrosion treatment which prevents the aluminium from getting dark, improving the aesthetics of the hood.
Armoured motors have a compact, hermetic design which prevents grease getting into the motor, prolonging its life.
Austenitic stainless steel (AISI 304) presents an optimal resistance against corrosion, even higher than ferrous stainless (Series 400). Some models of chimney hoods have both the tube and the body in an elegant austenitic stainless steel.
Telescopic hoods can be pulled out to switch them on and disconnect automatically when pushed back in. Having all the functions activated (any of the three speeds as well as the light), the models CNL 1001 and 2002, TL1 62 and NR-89 connect and disconnect automatically when pulling out and pushing in.
Charcoal filters are necessary when the hood is installed in recirculation mode, that is when there is no fumes outlet from the inside of the kitchen to the outside. Teka charcoal filters have a high capacity both for the absorption of grease particles and the elimination of odours. Charcoal filters must be replaced periodically in order not to lose effectiveness. Filters can be circular or rectangular.
Chimney hoods have a decorative tube and are installed between two upper kitchen units. Teka chimney hoods can be mounted on a wall, as an “island” or asymmetrically.
Tangential or double turbine motors have 2 rotors in the same motor. They are high yield motors. They can be of two types: 800 m3/h motors and 500 m3/h motors. They have an extraordinary reliability and they guarantee a silent and efficient removal of steam and odours with low energy consumption. If there is a sudden build-up of smoke in the kitchen, they guarantee a high power air exhaust and help to increase the robustness and the life expectancy of the hood.
The black crystal of DP 90 can be cleaned not only externally. It can be dropped down 90º to clean it inside. It is dropped down by means of two hinges. It makes the interior cleaning of the glass and the access to the filter or inside of the hood easier. The crystal setting is made by means of two parts which are used often in kitchen cabinets, washing machine panels, etc. When you press the crystal over these parts, they fix the crystal making the setting. Pressing again the glass, they loose ( Toca Toca system)
A fireproof plastic panel inside the chimney hood’s body which avoids direct contact with the motor making cleaning easier since it is a compact and flat surface with no corners or edges where the grease could lodge. This protection, designed to favour the flow of air and the removal of grease, is a complement to the action of the metal filters and minimizes even more the quantity of grease particles which can access the motor thereby extending its useful life and improving its performance.
Electronic panels allow the possibility to select 4 exhaust or extraction speeds (including intensive) and 4 programming times, being able to program up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
It measures the exhaust capacity of Teka hoods according to the Norm UNE EN 61591, under standard conditions for a volume of m3/h and a pressure of 15 Pa, in a standard installation type of 30 cm air outlet with a vertical tube of one metre, a bend of 90 º and a horizontal tube of 1 metre long. Teka hoods have up to 650 m3/h according to the Norm. Teka publishes three different measures of its hoods: free outlet, maximum exhaust power and according to the Norm.
The filter groups are designed to be fitted in chimneys or wooden chimneys creating a more rustic atmosphere in the kitchen.
Some Teka models have an electronic filter saturation indicator, which indicates when the metal anti-grease filters should be washed to maintain optimum performance of the hood.
Measure of the capacity of the hoods just in the outlet or mouth of the hoods without any installation. Teka chimney hoods have up to 880 m3/h free outlet exhaust capacity.
It is a sensor which starts up automatically when it detects steam in the kitchen, regulating the speed in function of the humidity level (from the first speed to the third one). The moment it no longer detects humidity, it turns off automatically. It deactivates when the user selects a speed or when switching off the hood.
Those hoods which are perfectly integrated in the row of upper kitchen units.
A type of chimney hood suspended from the ceiling, crowning a centrally positioned island. The island concept stands out both for its aesthetic excellence and its exceptional features and results, providing a warm and at the same time sophisticated atmosphere. The island format is also where the lighting system is more effective, eliminating the need for any other illumination.
They avoid grease accumulating in the halogen lamps.
Teka offers two types of lighting: a) Incandescent or Candle type lamps which provide an even light over the work surface and b) Teka’s exclusively designed diachronic, low consumption halogen lamps built into the casing of the chimney hood. Both options offer a more than satisfactory level of light, projecting an optimal, pleasant light over the cooking area. Some models have lamp covers to avoid grease accumulating in the halogen lamps.
The decorative hoods with the motors situated in the lower nozzle have the motors in an airtight compartment enclosing the motor. This way, the noise level is reduced and losses of power in the exhaust are prevented.
The maximum exhaust capacity of Teka hoods is the theoretical exhaust power a motor could generate if it is subjected to its maximum output or performance. Teka chimney hoods have a maximum exhaust capacity of 1220 m3/h.
Teka hoods incorporate aluminium filters up to 5 layers. Easy to replace and wash, the metallic filters are long lasting and can be re-used. Their main aim is to retain grease particles suspended in the air, preventing them from getting into the motor. Some models incorporate metallic filters to improve the aesthetics of the hoods.
Teka has developed a new complete range or generation of 800 m3/h motors for decorative hoods. The new motors have an optimized design of both the motor and the fan in their different parts: the motor cover and turbines which move the air. This involves a deep reduction in sound levels around 44- 45 db(A) and an increase in the exhaust capacity of the hoods.
Valve situated in the air vent of the traditional hoods, in the joint with the air conduct, which prevents fumes or odours revoke in the kitchen when the hood fan is not operating.
The operation of DP 90 chimney hood is based on the venture effect. The venturi effect is based on the Bernoulli theorem which we could summarize in two affirmations:
a) one fluid accelerates when passing through a narrowing and
b) one fluid makes less pressure in the places where the speed of the fluid is higher.
Air accelerates when passing through the perimeter of the hood ( the narrowing formed by the gap between the glass and the frame). A barrier which avoids the fumes is formed and smells do not escape through the front and the side panels of the hood. Furthermore, since it has lesser open surface the noise levels are lower, only 40 dB(a). This system allows a more homogeneous suction of the hood minimising its consumption.
Thanks to the programming timer, the user can very easily control the exhaust time, disconnecting the hood automatically once the selected time is over. Touch control models have 4 times: 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes and electronic panel models also have 4 times: 5 ,10, 20 and 30 minutes except CL 90, DF 90, DAL 90 and DY 70/90/110 which have 9 absorption times up to 45 minutes.
Pull out traditional or telescopic hoods are installed under a kitchen unit and are perfectly integrated within the upper kitchen units. Thanks to the pull out canopy, there is larger effective absorption surface when we cook, the hood remaining hidden if we have already finished.
A type of mechanical panel with buttons. All the new Teka hoods have push button control panels with recuperative buttons, that is that they move back to the original position when another speed is selected (reset button).
A way the hoods work when there is no air vent. The hood absorbs the fumes and the steam and purifies them thanks to a charcoal filter, returning the air to the room once it has been cleaned. It is a very simple, economic and ecologic system because it doesn’t release fumes which could pollute the environment.
The recirculation kit consists of charcoal filters, adapters and a conduct to deflect the air. The adapters consist of two plastic pieces situated one either side of the motor with a simple screwing turn. Once the adapters are in place, the charcoal filters are installed.
Type of mechanical panel which has an electronic power switch.
Teka introduces the fingerprint proof stainless steel in CNL 1001 and CNL 2002 pull out hoods and in C 620/ 610 traditional hood. It is a special treatment applied to the stainless steel fronts of the appliances, creating a fine film which avoids daily fingerprints and the grease particles which spoil the appearance of home appliances. The fingerprint proof treatment allows makes cleaning easy after the use of the different home appliances. Teka uses fingerprint proof stainless steel of the same type in all the home appliances, this being one of the most important characteristics of the brand.
Optional accessory of Teka hoods. Trim or metallic rear which covers the wall.
It is the quantity of acoustic energy (W) which a hood emits in a specified time. The sound power level is expressed in Db(A). It is the most suitable variable to make acoustic comparisons among different models of hoods. It is measured using an anechoic or semi-anechoic chamber, with great noise level absorption.
The sound pressure level or sound level is the variation of pressure (Pa) measured at a specific point, as a consequence of a sound wave moving through the air. It is the noise perceived by the human ear which can be registered by a microphone. The sound level is also expressed in Db (A) and depends on variables such as: the power of the hood, the distance from the hood to the recorder, the acoustic conditions of the room, etc. All in all, the sound level reflects the acoustic perception of the user under the conditions described in the Norm UNE-EN 60704-2-13.
A telescopic ducting tube is a Teka hoods accessory for high design kitchens.
The tactile sensor panels allow different exhaust speeds to be selected the (3+intensive for extreme situations), to connect the lighting of the hood, to programme the exhaust delay time up to 20 minutes, in such a way that the hood disconnects automatically once the selected time is over and indicates the filter saturation level via a pilot light.
Conventional hoods installed comfortably over an upper kitchen unit.
