To ensure the optimal extraction of cooking fumes and odours you need to ensure your ducting run is well thought out, installed correctly and premium quality component are used. Use smooth, non-inflammable duct components, the internal diameter should be equal to the external diameter of the outlet connector on the cooker hood. The BORA Basic comes in three models and each model is available in ducted or recirculation options at no extra cost. Choose from the BHU, BHI, BIU, BIA, BFIA, BFIU and BFIA. The range offers a compact hob with an automatic extraction smart extraction system and includes an energy saving surface induction glass ceramic cooktop which accommodates four pans with ease, so wh at are the main differences.

The extractor power level automatically adjusts itself according to current cooking conditions. There’s no need for constant manual adjustment, which means you can focus fully on your cooking. The Bora principle has been copied by many manufacturers but the vision remains the same "The end of the extractor hood" Bora are aiming for a “revolution in the kitchen” and to allow for “new kitchen architecture” Outlet ducting must measure Ø150 mm throughout the run. Even a small reduction in surface area reduces the free air flow considerably.

BORA Ecotube

Besides the many technical advantages that you enjoy with BORA, it is above all the completely new possibilities for kitchen planning that BORA really knows how to impress with. You can do practically anything that you have ever wanted to: cook in front of a window or under the eaves, have a kitchen island without a bulky hood and more space for hanging cabinets in smaller kitchens and enjoy seamless minimalism... all because of the space gained by doing away with an extractor hood. Thanks to its compact dimensions, you still have lots of space in the floor units. This makes BORA the benchmark in new kitchen aesthetics. The large drip pan beneath the appliance can hold up to 3 litres of liquid with no risk of damaging the device. The drip pan can be easily removed from underneath without any need for specialised know-how. The unique vertical slider makes operation via the intuitive app and downwards movement of your finger or direct tapping with the fingertip even easier. All of the important functions are at tour fingertips in a flash. x 89mm ducting is the minimum size you should use to ensure the optimal performance from extractor. BORA BHU & BHA models offer a halogen cooktop with central extraction, the BIU & BIA models offer an induction cooktop with four zones and the BFIU & BFIA models offer a large flexzone induction cooktop.

BORA Ecotube ducting has rounded corners and internal flutes to guide the air flow around corners smoothly. Only BORA Ecotube should be used and as with the round ducting all joints should be sealed with the BORA seals and a BORA wall box ONLY should be used to exit the building.The cooktop and extractor are ideal for flush installation. The perfect lines allow them to blend in discreetly and elegantly with any modern kitchen design. When on standby, the operating panel is virtually invisible and during operation it is scaled down to the essentials thanks to intelligent lighting.

Simply, the further cooking vapours travel before they are drawn off equals the greater chance that more odour and grease particles will be distributed throughout the room, settling on furniture and textiles. BORA puts an end to all that, grease particles created during cooking are no longer allowed to escape throughout the room, instead they are trapped in the central stainless steel grease filter resulting in the fresh air both during and after cooking. Ensure adequate ventilation, fresh air needs to be allowed in by opening a window or external door slightly or by means of a ventilation louvre.BORA Classic and BORA Professional ranges offer the ultimate in flexibility giving you the option for central extraction with a combination of gas, induction, tepan stainless grill and wok cooktop elements, the choice is yours.

Incorrect installation can result in poor extraction, more noise, condensation and other undesirable effects. The most common issues we find are the use of 125mm or even 100mm duct pipe, causes excessive noise with very little extracted air. The steam then condensates on the metal or glass of the extractor, all because the incorrect ducting is used. Remember 150mm rounds as a minimum or equivalent rectangular ducting only. Extend flexible ducts to the maximum and cut them to size, only use flexible ducting for a small awkward section.

Kitchen countertops

Noise especially in modern open plan living situations is unwelcome, in many situations in life this is something that is impossible to remove, especially in the kitchen. The average extractor have a sound level of over 70 dB (A) at head height which is too much noise to be comfortable, even at the highest level BORA venting hobs create less noise than a steak that is being grilled. Sophisticated technology include low-noise motors which are contained behind the kitchen plinth, perfect sound attenuation further reduces noise and the integrated sound absorption technology results in ultra quiet extraction.
