Product overview
Filterless chimneys suit Indian cooking better than mesh or baffle designs, because there is no filter to clog with oil from frying and tempering. Grease collects in an oil cup instead, which is emptied rather than cleaned. The 1200 m³/hr suction figure is appropriate for a 60 cm hob in a typical apartment kitchen; larger kitchens or heavy frying warrant 1400 or above. Note that suction ratings across brands are not measured under a common standard, so figures are only loosely comparable.
Key capabilities
- 60 cm width for standard hobs
- 1200 cubic metres per hour rated suction
- Filterless design with oil collector cup
- Heat auto-clean and motion sensor control
