RETAILOBSERVER.COM APRIL 2016 28 As Sven Schnee, head of global brand Gaggenau, explains: "As trends in kitchen design change, so must the design and function of appliances. As a leader in innovation, we presented the world's first extendable visor kitchen hood for integration in wall cabinets in 1982. Today, as seamless kitchen design and open-floor plan living grows in popularity, we continue to introduce new solutions for integrated ventilation. Our new visor hood, not only performs beyond expectations, but can also be perfectly concealed behind kitchen cabinetry. Available in 24" and 36" widths, the hood can be combined with all Gaggenau cook-tops: perfection and discretion for unlimited compatibility in kitchen design." EASY HANDLING Thanks to a patented easy mounting system, the visor hoods are very simple to install. All models are available as air extraction or air recirculation solutions. When combined with the efficient air recirculation kit, they offer outstanding performance and are therefore ideal for premises in which exhaust air ducting is complicated or impossible, which is often the case in many old buildings, rented apartments or energy-efficient homes. The hood's integrated blower ensures effortless handling, and an air recirculation kit with active charcoal filter can be easily attached. Grease filters can be conveniently removed for cleaning in the dishwasher. This new addition to the ventilation 200 series highlights Gaggenau's expertise as a traditional ventilation specialist for bespoke kitchen planning. The difference is Gaggenau.
