Clear the air

Kitchens that form part of open-plan living space need to be designed to complement the overall appearance of the space. However, it's also essential to keep the room free of smells and fumes.

Design Air, the latest collection of contemporary rangehoods from Autel Appliances, is imported from Italy. These powerful hoods are available in several styles and sizes, allowing you to create the look you want for your kitchen. You can choose between the Isola D3 900mm island-mounted canopy, the Italia 120, a 1200mm canopy or several other models.

Rangehoods in the Design Air collection have high performance motors to ensure air is renewed rapidly. Aluminium mesh filters collect 98% of cooking-related particles in the air, eliminating the kitchen of steam. When using the recirculation mode, carbon filters help minimise cooking odours. For convenience, the mesh filters can be placed in the dishwasher.

All Design Air rangehoods offer key features, such as an integrated timer function on each speed. This allows the user to set the timer function and the canopy will automatically turn off the motor and lights.

Halogen lighting is available in all rangehoods. It produces a natural brightness that helps to illuminate the cooking area and emphasises the sleek stainless finish of the hoods.

Thanks to extensive design and engineering incorporating special sound-insulating materials, Design Air hoods offer a silent operation, says the managing director of Autel Appliances,Greg Dennerly.
