This is architecture for air. Whether island hood, wall-mounted hood, or downdraft ventilation, the 400 series represents the height of clean air management. A bold design aesthetic is maintained throughout. While high efficient baffle filters ensure professional performance, integrated dimmable lighting adds ambiance to the private kitchen. They are even capable of automatically determining the power required to clear the vapors and odors from the room.

Our 1976 innovation, the downdraft ventilation, fits seamlessly into any Vario 400 series cooktops arrangement, offering effective odor and vapor removal at source, using the same stainless steel controls as the cooktops. The flap and filter have been designed to reduce noise and improve airflow through the space-saving flat duct system. Specially designed grease filters increase air flow and absorb more. The activated charcoal filters are designed to offer greater surface area to the air before it is re-circulated into the blissfully clean room.
