The present invention discloses a control method for a range hood and a range hood applied with the control method, wherein the control method for the range hood is a control method for a cleaning device of the range hood, wherein the range hood comprises an air inlet component, a fan
system and a cleaning device for cleaning the fan
system, wherein the cleaning device can spray cleaning liquid to the fan
system, and is characterized in that: the control method is a pre-
coating procedure for the cleaning liquid, comprising the following steps: 1) performing a pre-
coating self-check procedure to ensure that the air inlet component is closed, the cleaning liquid is sufficiently sprayed, and the sprayed parts are located in the fan system; 2) starting a pre-
coating protection procedure, comprising the following steps: 2.1) the fan system operates at the lowest gear; 2.2) ensuring that the rotation speed of the fan system is within a preset range of [n1, n2], wherein n1 is a preset
lower limit of the rotation speed, and n2 is a preset upper limit of the rotation speed, and then proceeding to step 2.3); 2.3) spraying cleaning liquid to the fan system; 3) completing the pre-coating procedure.
