The New Whirlpool Statement Chimney Hood With New Easy To Clean iXelium™ And Intelligence

The new Whirlpool chimney hood has style, panache and makes a great centre-piece for the kitchen.  Part of the Whirlpool Fusion built-in range, the AKR 799 IXL chimney hood features a new iXelium finish. This is a nanotechnology coating which makes the hood easy to clean with the simple wipe of a damp cloth; no cleaning chemicals required. The iXelium coating also prevents the hood discolouring or scratching and therefore retains its pristine appearance and good looks for longer.

The new Whirlpool hood is packed with intelligent technology and special functionality.  Whirlpool’s 6TH SENSE® advanced electronic sensor technology makes this appliance easy to use and highly effective at dispelling unwanted cooking odours from the kitchen.  All you have to do is to turn it on and set to the 6TH SENSE® mode and the hood will self-set using the sensor readings to run the ideal power level whenever you are cooking. This gives excellent performance with maximum energy efficiency, without you having to think about it. 6TH SENSE® also detects air pollutants in the room and will control and filter the air to improve air quality and the environment.

Jennifer Spragg, Brand and Digital Marketing Manager, Whirlpool says: “Our new Whirlpool chimney hood is an elegant addition to the contemporary kitchen, offering a stunning appearance that is married to the very best of intelligent technology.  It is so easy to use, extremely powerful and so quiet in use, and can be either vented or recirculated to give consumers complete freedom when designing their kitchen.”
