The newest addition to the Fisher & Paykel appliance range is the brand’s first Induction Hob with Integrated Ventilation. Integrated ventilation is an elegant solution for cooking and kitchen ventilation that uses powerful and effective downdraft extraction performance, with unobtrusive noise for a social kitchen space.

Alex van Vliet, Market Product Manager, Fisher & Paykel comments on the launch: ‘Over the last few years, we have seen a shift towards open-plan and multi-use designs. Customers are looking for flexibility in their spaces now more than ever. With the kitchen becoming the social hub of the house, as a place for work, learning, family meals and entertaining, it is imperative that the space not only works functionally but on an aesthetic level, with clean lines and hidden appliances.

“Because of this, we have introduced our brand new induction hob with integrated ventilation into the UK market and we see venting hobs becoming much more popular over the next two to three years. This product offers so much flexibility since the cooktop can be positioned almost anywhere in the kitchen, everything you need is within one place and the compact design allows more counterspace for prepping food.’

Designed for sustainability

Superior efficiency with induction cooking means that less heat is wasted; as only the cookware is heated, induction hobs are more energy-efficient than electric or gas. The cooktop is built from recyclable, eco-friendly Schott ceramic glass that doesn’t use arsenic or heavy metals in the manufacturing process. The recirculation kit, available on the CID834RDTB4 model, filters the air through carbon filters and the air is then recirculated to the kitchen interior. This means heated or air-conditioned air is not ducted to outside and removed from the home.
