Globalo Perio Touch Telescopic Cooker Hood
Telescopic cooker hood is a compact device that can be easily installed in a cabinet above the hob. It is small in size but has great capabilities. You can easily fit it into any kitchen cabinetry.
Telescopic hoods are a type of built-in insert. They differ from classic fixed inserts (so-called under-cabinet hoods) in one fundamental way – their front panel slides out. Because of this, they are often called drawer hoods, as the front slides out thanks to built-in runners.
Globalo Perio Touch 60 cm Telescopic Cooker Hood
Globalo Perio Touch 60 Cooker Hood fits a 60 cm wide cabinet. To install it, simply cut an appropriate opening in the bottom of the cabinet and place the hood in it, following the instructions in the installation and operation manual. You will then have a device that, while almost invisible, effectively cleans the air in the kitchen while cooking.
Hood Construction
The Perio Touch telescopic hood is made of elegant, black tempered glass and stainless inox steel. This combination of materials provides a very durable construction that is resistant to moisture, high temperatures, mechanical damage, and chemicals. By maintaining the hood properly, it will serve you well for many years. For cleaning, it is best to use dedicated cleaning agents.
Filters in the Hood
This telescopic hood can operate in two modes. Open circuit is when the hood is connected via ducting to a ventilation shaft. The device then acts as an extractor. Closed circuit refers to the hood working without ducting, i.e., as a recirculation hood.
For extraction mode, all that is needed is an unobstructed chimney duct and a metal filter. It is made of fine aluminium mesh designed to trap grease and dirt particles. This ensures that furniture, other appliances, walls, and upholstery stay cleaner. The metal filter needs regular cleaning, which you can easily do in the dishwasher (e.g., once a month).
When the hood works as a recirculation unit, install an additional carbon filter. The activated carbon in the filter absorbs moisture and unpleasant odours. The carbon filter should be replaced periodically (every 3-6 months, depending on how often you cook). In the Globalo Perio Touch telescopic hood, install the round ASC 450 carbon filter.
Hood Performance
The Perio Touch telescopic hood operates on 3 speeds plus an additional intensive speed (boost). At the 3rd speed, the hood reaches a maximum capacity of 340 m3/h. When the boost function is activated, this increases to 420 m3/h.
Hood Features
The Perio Touch drawer hood has everything a cooker hood of this class should offer. Its 150W motor effectively removes steam, moisture, grease, and other impurities from medium-sized kitchens.
The Perio Touch telescopic hood is controlled via a touch panel with an LED display. It is intuitive and easy to use. Additionally, the unit comes with a remote control, allowing you to operate the hood from a distance.
One feature that makes cooking easier and more pleasant and safer is the inclusion of two LED lights. They illuminate both the hob and the food being prepared. LED lighting is energy-efficient – it consumes less electricity, generates less heat, and reduces electricity bills.
Timer function allows the hood to be switched off automatically after a set period (up to 15 minutes). In practice, this means you can leave the hood running for 10 minutes after you finish cooking and go out. The hood will filter the humid air while you're away.
Quiet Operation
A quiet hood operates at around 50 dB on the first speed. This ensures its operation remains quiet, allowing you to enjoy everyday activities in the kitchen and living room (conversation, watching TV, listening to music) without disturbance.
If you want to eliminate the sound of a running fan in your kitchen entirely – consider installing an external motor. Placing the turbine in a different room is a simple solution that will ensure a quiet kitchen, with the only sound being the gentle hum of steady airflow.
Globalo Perio Touch 90 cm Telescopic Cooker Hood
Globalo Perio Touch Telescopic Cooker Hood is also available in a larger 90 cm size.
Apart from the larger dimensions, the hood has the same features as its smaller counterpart. It is ideal for use over a slightly larger hob in a 90 cm wide cabinet.
Telescopic Cooker Hood – A Quick Recap
For those in a hurry, here's a summary of the key information:
- Telescopic hoods are built-in inserts in a cabinet, differing by having a pull-out front panel (a so-called drawer)
- They can operate as an extractor (open circuit) or a recirculation unit (closed circuit)
- Globalo Perio Touch telescopic hoods are available in two widths: 60 cm and 90 cm
- These are compact devices that easily fit into kitchen cabinetry, with only the elegant, black tempered glass front panel visible
We recommend telescopic hoods for kitchens where built-in appliances are a priority. By mounting the hood inside a cabinet, you have virtually unlimited freedom to style your kitchen as you like. Remember – a cooker hood is just as essential in a modern kitchen as a dishwasher, fridge, or oven.
