The Bosch DWB64BC50B chimney cooker hood is engineered for efficient air purification in the kitchen. With an extraction rate of 365.3 cubic meters per hour (m3/h), it is well-suited for rapidly removing steam, grease, and cooking odours, particularly in smaller to medium-sized kitchens. For instance, when frying strong-smelling foods like fish or curry, activating the hood will quickly clear the air, preventing odours from lingering throughout your home.
The 'Quiet extraction with powerful performance' feature means you can maintain a comfortable kitchen environment without excessive noise, even at higher settings. The LED Illumination is a practical addition, casting a clear, bright light directly onto your hob. This is invaluable for tasks requiring precision, such as sautéing vegetables or simmering sauces, ensuring you can see your food clearly and prevent burning.
Its 60cm width makes it a perfect fit above most standard two-to-four burner hobs, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the cooking area. The push-button controls are intuitive, allowing you to easily adjust the fan speed based on the intensity of your cooking, from a low setting for gentle simmering to a higher setting for vigorous frying. Whether you opt for a ducted system that vents air outside or a recirculating system that filters and returns air, this hood offers reliable performance to keep your kitchen air fresh.
The Bosch DWB64BC50B offers flexible installation as it supports both ducted and recirculating extraction types.
Unpack and inspect: Carefully remove all packaging and check for any damage.
Mounting: Securely mount the hood to the wall above your hob. Ensure it is at the correct height above your cooking surface as specified in the full installation manual. Info needed: specific height recommendations.
Ducting (if applicable): Connect appropriate ducting (e.g., 120mm or 150mm diameter) to vent air outside.
Recirculating (if applicable): If using recirculating mode, ensure charcoal filters are installed (these often need to be purchased separately) to filter the air before it returns to the kitchen.
Electrical connection: Connect the hood to a suitable power supply as per electrical safety regulations. Professional installation is recommended for electrical and ducting work.
Hob Size: This cooker hood is 60cm wide, designed to be compatible with standard-sized hobs of similar width.
Kitchen Space: Its dimensions (583-1163mm height, 600mm width, 500mm depth) make it suitable for kitchens that can accommodate a chimney-style hood, especially smaller kitchen spaces as noted in the product description.
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your cooker hood.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the silver exterior regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching the finish.
Grease Filter Cleaning: The metal grease filters should be cleaned regularly (e.g., monthly, depending on cooking frequency).
Remove the grease filters as per the user manual.
Wash them by hand in warm soapy water or in a dishwasher. Info needed: confirm dishwasher compatibility.
Ensure filters are completely dry before re-inserting them.
Charcoal Filter Replacement (Recirculating Mode): If using the hood in recirculating mode, the charcoal filters cannot be cleaned and must be replaced periodically (typically every 3-6 months, depending on usage). Info needed: specific replacement schedule and part number.
LED Light Care: LED lights are long-lasting, but if replacement is needed, consult the user manual or a qualified technician.
