WHIRLPOOL’S INTELLIGENT COOKER HOODS SENSE BOTH COOKING AND ROOM ODOURS

Cooker hoods have come a long way in a relatively short space of time. The erstwhile noisy black sheep of the kitchen was the one appliance that none of us wanted to show off as it rumbled and vibrated above the hob with all the menace of an oncoming train.

Vast improvements in design and technology have since resulted in such a complete turnaround that the cooker hood has become an almost iconic fashion statement of the kitchen, equally stunning in both large and minimalist form.

Whirlpool’s superb selection of contemporary cooker hoods is testament to the intelligence and versatility of these important products. The company’s Glamour and Fusion ranges of kitchen appliances, now joined by the new Ambient collection, are state-of-the-art cooker hoods that not only look sensational but perform quietly and with maximum efficiency.

There most comprehensive in the range include the company’s renowned 6th Sense® technology; which means you just have to turn it on and set it to 6th Sense® mode and it will do the rest! The sensors automatically detect cooking odours and room air pollutants; the hood self-set to run at just the right power level for effective extraction and improves air quality by operating when needed, helping to preserve furniture and furnishings for longer. Models with these benefits include the Fusion AKR 891, the Glamour AKR 809 and the new Ambient AKR 799.

The special perimeter aspiration on the AKR 891 Fusion hood absorbs cooking vapours and fumes along the edges of the hood. This allows space and flexibility for an attractive new design, as well as lowering noise levels and making the hood easier to clean. The Glamour AKR 809 is fitted with Whirlpool’s innovative ‘deep silent’ EDS3 system, which offers an unprecedented level of noise reduction (more than 35% compared to other hoods).

Whirlpool’s Product Marketing Manager, Built-in, Dalia Haddad comments:  “Whirlpool cooker hoods are among the most stylish and effective models on the market, performing quietly and with super efficiency. They look the business but they do the business too, with impressive extraction via a choice of speeds as well as an intensive setting.  All models in our collections look superb in a contemporary kitchen and form a wonderful focus for today’s place for entertaining family and friends without being noise-intrusive!”
