Small everyday choices, combined with the right equipment and maintenance, can make a big difference. This checklist gives you eight simple and effective ways to create a safer, more functional kitchen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-start=\"6882\" data-end=\"7474\"><strong data-start=\"6884\" data-end=\"6909\">Install a stove guard<\/strong><br data-start=\"6909\" data-end=\"6912\" \/>Automatically cuts the power if the temperature becomes too high or if something is left on the stove for too long. With R\u00f8rosHetta SENSE, you can have a stove guard integrated directly into the cooker hood, using four sensors that measure temperature, movement, power consumption and time to assess fire risk. If you do not have a Sense hood, you can choose a wall- or ceiling-mounted stove guard.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong data-start=\"7478\" data-end=\"7530\">Choose fire-retardant materials around the stove<\/strong><br data-start=\"7530\" data-end=\"7533\" \/>Tiles, steel or fire-rated panels reduce the risk of ignition.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-start=\"7597\" data-end=\"7925\"><strong data-start=\"7599\" data-end=\"7627\">Use an induction cooktop<\/strong><br data-start=\"7627\" data-end=\"7630\" \/>Induction reduces heat generation and is generally safer than traditional cooktops or gas stoves. R\u00f8rosHetta\u2019s downdraft ventilators ensure efficient ventilation and are delivered with an induction cooktop. Choose between widths of 60\u201380 cm.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-start=\"7927\" data-end=\"8293\"><strong data-start=\"7929\" data-end=\"7997\">Ensure sufficient and correct ventilation \u2013 avoid blocking vents<\/strong><br data-start=\"7997\" data-end=\"8000\" \/>This provides controlled, clean air and removes moisture, cooking fumes and pollutants more effectively than natural ventilation. Avoid painting over or blocking other ventilation openings in the home \u2013 these are common mistakes that can lead to poor air quality and increased moisture levels.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-start=\"8295\" data-end=\"8831\"><strong data-start=\"8297\" data-end=\"8346\">Clean and maintain the kitchen hood regularly<\/strong><br data-start=\"8346\" data-end=\"8349\" \/>Grease in the hood increases fire risk and reduces air quality. Clean the grease filter regularly, preferably once a month, and replace it if it becomes worn or starts to deteriorate.<br data-start=\"8532\" data-end=\"8535\" \/>Replace the charcoal filter at the recommended interval \u2013 its lifespan can vary from 4 months to more than 4 years. We recommend setting a reminder in your calendar.<br data-start=\"8700\" data-end=\"8703\" \/>With R\u00f8rosHetta Sense, you receive app notifications when it\u2019s time to clean the grease filters and replace the charcoal filter.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-start=\"8833\" data-end=\"9169\"><strong data-start=\"8835\" data-end=\"8906\">Use an extractor directly above the stove with the correct capacity<\/strong><br data-start=\"8906\" data-end=\"8909\" \/>Make sure your cooker hood is as wide as or wider than the cooktop to ensure optimal capture of cooking fumes. Ducted ventilation is recommended where direct exhaust is possible. Alternatively, we offer cooker hoods adapted to all types of ventilation systems.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-start=\"9171\" data-end=\"9565\"><strong data-start=\"9173\" data-end=\"9216\">Ensure proper ventilation after cooking<\/strong><br data-start=\"9216\" data-end=\"9219\" \/>R\u00f8rosHetta Sense hoods and downdraft ventilators feature an after-ventilation setting that ventilates the ducts after cooking is finished. It runs quietly at level 1 to avoid unnecessary noise and reduces the risk of cooking odours, grease and moisture remaining in the duct. After-ventilation starts automatically when the cooktop is turned off.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-start=\"9567\" data-end=\"9876\"><strong data-start=\"9569\" data-end=\"9604\">Maintain proper humidity levels<\/strong><br data-start=\"9604\" data-end=\"9607\" \/>Excess humidity can cause mould growth, while too little humidity leads to a poor indoor climate. With the R\u00f8rosHetta SENSE app, you can monitor humidity levels in the room and adjust accordingly. You will receive notifications in the app if the level becomes too high.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;88440&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;three-two&#8221; media_title_uppercase=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;202185&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;173909&#8243;]In the R\u00f8rosHetta Sense app, you can, among other things, receive notifications when it is time to clean your grease filters.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;5&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; row_height_use_pixel=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":302,"featured_media":88442,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[132],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-relevant"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>8 tips for a safe kitchen environment - R\u00f8rosHetta<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A safe kitchen is about more than pleasant cooking aromas and smart solutions \u2013 it is also about preventing fire hazards and ensuring a healthy indoor climate.
