Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas at UAKC
Unique and Practical Gift Idea: Over-the-Range Microhood At Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Throughout the 80's and 90's countertop microwaves were hugely popular as gifts. But their popularity has waned as has their practicality because of the precious countertop space that they occupy. A practical solution to this problem is to replace that old vent hood with a new Over-the-Range (OTR) Micro-hood that serves both as a microwave and a vent hood. Micro-hoods (invented by GE) are increasingly becoming standard in new home construction, but they are rarely thought of as gifts because they need to be installed. However, Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center (UAKC) has a solution to the installation problem. They have their own factory-trained installation crews. They can quickly replace that old vent hood, and they'll even haul it away for free. Take a look below at a just a few of the many micro-hoods available at UAKC, and hurry in today to order yours.

Outdoor Vent Hoods from AirKing to Zephyr
Vent Hoods for Outdoor Kitchens Outdoor Hoods at Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center When summer heats up our attention goes to outdoor cooking. Today's popular gas grills are often not sitting in an open air location, rather they tend to be in a patio, gazebo, or other covered outdoor area. The grill is likely to be built-in and sometimes even part of an entire outdoor kitchen installation. With all this attention on outdoor grilling, it's important to understand the need for outdoor venting. If your grilling is done under a combustible overhead structure, a vent hood is required to control smoke, grease, and fumes. Hood manufacturers from AirKing to Zephyr are jumping into the outdoor hood category. Outdoor cooking specialty manufacturers such as Lynx, also offer their own vent hoods to complement their outdoor grills. And some appliance manufacturers that offer outdoor grills such as Viking include outdoor rated vent hoods as part of their lineup. Standard indoor vent hoods, are not the same as outdoor vent hoods. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has separate standards for outdoor appliances. For example, wiring must be shielded and protected from the elements. Buyers should make sure that their outdoor hood not only meets regulatory standards, but that they are also durable and cleanable. Heavy duty stainless steel baffles effectively filter smoke and grease and they're also easy to clean. Here's a photo of a Lynx outdoor grill with backsplash and vent hood. It's easy to see that this unit will not only be effective -

Customers Write (15) Lindsey loves Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center Lindsey S. Los Angeles, CA I have been a customer of Universal Appliance and Kitchen Center for several years now. I do live in the neighborhood, so convenience is a plus. But besides, Universal being close to my house I must say, that they have a great selection of products of various brands and a very wide range of prices. I did some shop around before I made my final purchases at Universal. Last time I shopped there they competed with two other quotes that I brought from other stores. Among the appliances that I have purchased from them over the period of a couple of years are a washer and dryer, refrigerator, hood, dishwasher, induction cooktop and an amazing Miele vacuum cleaner that I absolutely love and that I got for FREE as a part of a deal! All of my purchased appliances work excellent and I am thankful for the help of the sales people at Universal that helped me make my right choices. I enjoy shopping at this store.

Choosing a Range Vent Hood
Range Hood Guidelines Common Sense Range Vent Hood Evaluation Tools A. Requirements Ventilation objectives. Range hoods perform many functions. Sometimes hood vents are used merely to circulate air in the kitchen. Usually, they are needed to remove cooking odors, vapors, particulates, and moisture from the air over the cooktop surface. It's important to consider the type of cooking you'll be doing. For example, if you cook exotic dishes that are very aromatic, you may need a more powerful vent hood. Suppose you are considering a re-circulating hood because you don't have the ability to duct outside. You need to be aware that recirculating hoods will capture some particulates, but will do little to remove vapors or moisture from the room. Ductwork. If you are installing new ducting you'll want to make sure that you take the most direct, shortest path - the fewer turns, the better. Use the largest duct size that is practical for quieter more efficent operation. Makeup air. The 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) requires when installing new vent hoods exceeding 400 cfm, makeup air must be provide in an amount roughly equivalent to the exhaust CFM. Location. The location of the range will influence the type and size of the range hood. Is the range on on an island or peninsula? Where are the windows located? What is the ceiling height? Are there ceiling fans? How much space is available between adjacent cabinets? B. Sizing the hood Best hoods offer these recommendations for hood sizing. Under -

Downdraft Ventilation Options from Faber
Faber earns Consumers Digest Best Buy Scirocco range hood by Faber is again a "Best Buy" winner in the range hood category. The Scirocco won the Mid-range selection best buy in range hoods for the second time in a row. The magazine defines the Mid-range category as: "A product that offers many popular features and good performance at a price below the top of the line for the product category." Faber hoods always have good value across the entire product line. To have a magazine like Consumers Digest reinforce this concept is very encouraging and exciting. The Scirocco offers an 8" automatic rise plenum that comes up and down with the touch of a button and reveals the stainless mesh dishwasher safe grease filters. The Scirocco offers innovative safety features including the following: Microswitches behind the grease filters that prevent the hood from moving when filters are removed A spring loaded / removable Stainless steel top strip that "pops off" when an object gets in the way of the hood Faber always pays attention to the smallest details such as: to prevent the hood from moving while being cleaned, the button to engage the hood must be held down for a "long push" to prevent inadvertent operation. With an included 500 cfm blower in the internal 30" and 36" hood, multiple venting options, a brand-less top strip for mixing & matching with all cook top brands and an optional 900 cfm remote blower with the safety features only seen in
