Gaggenau AT400 Broschüre

The large

island hoods

hover above the kitchen

island and make a strong architectural state-

ment. They come in stainless steel, or matching

the Gaggenau appliances from the 200 Series,

in glass shot-blasted aluminum, resistant to dirt

and fingerprints. Most models feature a soft,

dimmable halogen light.

The wall-mounted ventilation hoods

are also an

eye-catcher. Like the island hoods, they come

in stainless steel and aluminum with a halogen

light. They provide full power above the front

cooking zones, only if needed.

Another Gaggenau exclusive are ventilation

hoods with the

Coanda effect,

an effect known

from aerodynamics. An additional fan on the

front of the hood generates a stream of air that

is directed towards the rear over a cylinder. This

effect causes any cooking fumes at the front

of the hood to be more effectively directed into

the filter area.

Visor hoods

are an ideal solution for small

spaces. Unobtrusively beautiful and mounted

into the top cabinet, the hood is retractable and

extremely quiet. This was one of Gaggenau’s

early innovations.

For individual architectural design, fan units

can be used and built into the kitchen furniture.

However, when it comes to ventilation, Gaggenau’s

core competence is the truly exceptional

down-

draft.

The simplest of all solutions, but highly

efficient. Integrated into the cooktop, it removes

cooking fumes where they occur – even when

deeper pots are being used that have their lids

left open slightly. Available in aluminum and

stainless steel, downdrafts match the cooktops

from the Vario 200 and 400 Pro Series.

The Vario 200 Series also features a

direct

ventilation system with an extendable swivel arm

that automatically moves to the desired height.

At its highest setting, the arm can be turned

90 degrees in both directions. Once the appli-

ance is switched off, it automatically retracts

into the cooktop.

All downdrafts use air extraction systems

and are operated with a remote fan unit, which

can be installed outside the kitchen.

The new, attractive and highly efficient air

recirculation solution is the Gaggenau backsplash

ventilation, a sculpture for the cooktop. Grease

splashes and cooking fumes are extracted right

behind the cooktop, leaving ample headroom.

The

backsplash ventilation

also offers an elevated

workspace for serving dishes or preparing

ingredients.

It is now time to delve deeper into the topic of

ventilation. On the following pages you will find

the highlights from the Gaggenau portfolio.
