The K7088A-10-S boasts the ASC (Advanced Sensor Control) system that detects steam, vapour, smoke and odours generated by the cooking process, and automatically switches itself on if necessary. For added safety the ASC detects abnormal levels of gas. We almost forgot to mention, you can still operate the hood manually if required! In stainless steel this contemporary square-edged hood is powered by a 250W motor and has 3 push-button speed settings, with a very quiet noise rating of 40-59dB. It also features an alarm to tell you when to clean the quick-release washable grease filter. 2x 20W halogen lamps provide optimum illumination. Should you wish to set the hood to recirculation mode, 1x CASS carbon filter is required (sold separately).
