Downdraft Systems

In terms of style and function, this appliance is a highlight amongst cooker hoods and can be built into any kitchen. At the touch of a button, the downdraft extractor is raised and activated ready for use. Cooking vapours and odours are removed immediately by the downdraft system. When the extractor is no longer needed, it simply disappears into the worktop again at the light touch of a button.

Miele's height adjustable “Varia” cooker hood solves an age-old problem: install the cooker hood too high and it will not extract vapours effectively; install it too low and you will not see the hob properly and the kitchen will look out of proportion. A “Varia” model cooker hood from Miele glides up and down by up to 30 cm at the push of a button. This allows the cooker hood to be set to the ergonomically right height for any user. And you can see what you are doing whilst still being able to see around the kitchen.

When the Miele Aura 4.0 Ambient island cooker hood is switched off, the wings wrap snuggly around the round canopy. As soon as you switch on the cooker hood, a motor opens the wings to create an elegant oval shape. This transformation increases the size of the vapour chamber on the inside – so that even more cooking vapours can be captured. The integrated vapour guides in the wings help to ensure optimum extraction.
