The grandeur of clarity
The 400 series represents the height of clean air management. A bold design aesthetic is maintained throughout, while highly efficient filters ensure professional performance and integrated dimmable lighting add ambiance. From a modular ceiling solution and statement hoods to discreet cooktop level options, these ventilation appliances are capable clearing the vapours and odours from the largest of kitchens.
Table ventilation
Rising from the surface, the table ventilation removes vapour and odour while offering dimmable illumination. Able to extract or re-circulate the air it complements many of the 400 series cooktops: gas, flex induction, Teppan Yaki and grill. And once finished, it submerges out of sight.
Vario downdraft ventilation
The Vario downdraft elegantly sits alongside any of the Vario 400 series, including the framed or frameless flex induction options. Particularly useful next to pan-free cooking appliances such as Teppan Yaki and the electric grill, the downdraft also blends in seamlessly when interspersed between flex induction and gas cooktops.
Aesthetically pleasing, supremely effective
Our 1976 innovation, the downdraft ventilation, fits flush into any Vario cooktops 400 series arrangement, offering effective odour and vapour removal at source, utilising the same stainless steel controls as the cooktops.
Removing the unwanted at source
Its wide aperture, powerful motors and new inner housing ensures high airflow even at its lowest setting, and minimal noise even at its highest. By activating its automatic function, the private chef can concentrate on creating or entertaining. The hyper-sensitive air quality sensor detects vapours allowing the downdraft to immediately react and adjust the power level. The automatic function uses the lowest power level necessary making it extremely quiet in operation.
Cleaning and maintenance
The internal redesign has improved the maintenance aspect as well. With ergonomic handles for ease of removal of the dual grease filter and tank which can be placed upright on the counter to eliminate contact with grease. The filter can be washed in the dishwasher, the smooth anodised aluminium internal surface is easily wiped clean, ensuring unrivalled hygiene, while its symmetrical shape facilitates easy reinsertion.
Island hoods
The substantial yet minimalist Island hood makes a powerful statement. Dimmable LEDS can flood the worktop in light or offer atmospheric mood lighting, sensors can control the power level depending upon the amount of vapour in the air while the professional angled baffle filters effectively remove it.
Wall-mounted hoods
The large, professional angled baffle filters and powerful motor ensure these extractors offer highly efficient odour and vapour removal. Illuminating your cooking area via unseen, dimmable LEDs, these impressive extractors match the scale of your Gaggenau cooktops beneath.
