A cooking engagement system and methods therefore are provided. The system includes a cooktop appliance and an interactive assembly positioned above the cooktop appliance. The interactive assembly includes an image monitor that presents various images and information to a user, e.g., recipes. The system includes a humidity sensor for detecting operation of the cooktop appliance. When the humidity sensor senses a humidity level that exceeds a threshold, a controller communicatively coupled thereto activates an air handler to move or motivate an airflow across or about the image monitor. In this way, the image monitor may be cooled and condensation is prevented from forming on the imaging surface of the image monitor.

A cooking engagement system and methods therefore are provided. The system includes a cooktop appliance and an interactive assembly positioned above the cooktop appliance. The interactive assembly includes an image monitor that presents various images and information to a user, e.g., recipes. The system includes a thermistor for detecting operation of the cooktop appliance. When the thermistor senses a temperature level that exceeds a threshold, a controller communicatively coupled thereto activates an air handler to move or motivate an airflow across or about the image monitor. In this way, the image monitor may be cooled and condensation is prevented from forming on the imaging surface of the image monitor.

An exhaust hood includes a housing, which is open towards a bottom face to capture cooking by-products from a cooking appliance positioned below the exhaust hood. The housing has at least a first wall and a second wall opposite to the first wall. The second wall is at least partly inclined inwardly from the bottom face towards a top face of the housing and has an exhaust vent that communicates with an exhaust fan to extract cooking by-products captured by the housing. The exhaust hood has a fresh air fan and the first wall is shaped to form a first duct which has a number of openings located in a row along a lower edge of the first wall adjacent to the bottom face and oriented to the inside of said housing. The first duct is in communication with the fresh air fan to inject air streams through the openings into the housing in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom face. This creates a vertical flat air stream directed from the first wall towards the second wall. The openings may be substantially rectangular slots, the long edges of which are oriented in parallel to said bottom face. The exhaust hood can have a baffle sheet located at the inside of the first wall above the row of openings, which extends into the housing substantially parallel to the bottom face.

A cooking engagement system includes a cooktop appliance and an interactive assembly positioned above the cooktop appliance. The interactive assembly includes an image monitor that presents various images and information to a user, e.g., recipes, and a capacitive touch sensor that senses touches on an imaging surface of the image monitor. When the capacitive touch sensor senses a capacitance level below a threshold indicative of contamination on the imaging surface, a controller communicatively coupled thereto activates an air handler to move or motivate an airflow across or about the image monitor. In this way, the image monitor may be cooled and condensation is prevented from forming on the imaging surface of the image monitor.

A mounting bracket mountable to the underside of the cabinet prior to the range hood and configured to engage and support the range hood as the range hood is secured to the cabinet. The mounting bracket having a support feature engagable to the range hood to hold the range hood proximate the cabinet while fasteners are sunk to secure the range hood to the cabinet. The mounting brackets are pre-positioned on the cabinet such that range hood is aligned with the cabinet when the range hood is supported by the support feature. The smaller mounting brackets can be more easily mounted in the proper position on the cabinet then the larger range hood speeding the installation process and reducing errors.

A balanced pollutant cleaning system is provided. The balanced pollutant cleaning system includes a fan, an air jet device, an air suction device and a control device. The air jet device is disposed around a shielded object and the air jet device is provided with a plurality of air jet ports, and an air inlet of the air jet device is connected with an air outlet of the fan through a pipeline. The air suction device is configured to suction away pollutants and heat generated by the shielded object and the air ejected from the air jet ports. The control device is configured to control a magnitude of an airflow output from the fan, and the control device is configured to adjust an air suction amount of the air suction device according to the magnitude of the airflow output from the fan.

An exhaust system includes a ventilated ceiling component with multiple surfaces and recesses. Each recess has an exhaust intake, the recesses being distributed over an area of a ceiling that has a perimeter adjacent the recesses. The perimeter has a jet register located below the exhaust intake and configured to generate jets, a first of the jets being directed toward and located below at least one of the exhaust intakes and a second of the jets being directed substantially vertically downward. The perimeter further has a displacement ventilation register.

Kitchen extractor hood with directional flow having a box body, an extractor fan with at least one inlet in communication with an internal chamber of the box body, a delivery fan with an inlet in communication with the internal chamber of the box body and a delivery outlet in communication with a delivery conduit, a distributor disposed at the end of the delivery conduit and deflector means disposed above the distributor in such a way to direct a delivery airflow from the delivery conduit towards at least one preferential direction with respect to the axis of the distributor, in such a way that at least two airflows with different flow rate come out from the distributor, wherein the airflow with the higher flow rate is directed towards a burner of the cooktop having a higher power than the other burners.
