Transparent elegance hovers above hob unit

'Triple' and 'Pure': Miele is setting the tone in the kitchen with two new extravagant designer cooker hoods for wall installation. Both are impressive with their inimitable design and both are powerful and energy-efficient. In terms of shape and colour, they harmonise in a very special way with Miele's handleless ArtLine series of built-in appliances.

There is hardly any other kitchen appliance which polarises to such a degree as a cooker hood. On the one hand there are customers who want their hood to be as inconspicuous as possible, preferably concealed in a wall unit or integrated into a cooktop. Others prefer models which are strikingly prominent features in the kitchen. Miele caters for both cases with a comprehensive and diverse range of products.

On the wall hood front, Miele is now extending its range with the addition of a model with a highly extravagant design. Three bowed canopies made from safety glass which appear to breezily levitate above each other make Triple Black and Triple Grey eyecatching features in high-end kitchens. Thanks to their compact dimensions, this hood also guarantees greater headroom above the hob.

Puristic eyecatcher in a high-end kitchen

Miele is now set to cater more specifically for this market with two new models, Pure Black and Pure Grey, which belong to the popular category of so-called headroom hoods. Their straight-laced design makes these hoods timelessly elegant eyecatchers in prestigious kitchens. Both versions are available in widths of 80 and 90 cm and feature intuitive touch controls.

Both the Triple and the Pure hoods achieve top energy-efficiency ratings. Both vented and recirculation operation is possible, the latter in combination with a highly effective active charcoal filter which the incumbent multiple test winner with the German consumer watchdog Stiftung Warentest also uses on its other models. Triple and Pure communicate with a Miele hob in such a way as to automatically adjust suction performance to what is happening down on the hob (Con@ctivity 2.0). Optionally, these cooker hoods can be controlled via WLAN and the Miele@mobile app from a smartphone or tablet PC. The aptly named models Triple Black/Triple Grey and Pure Black/Pure Grey as well as handleless ArtLine built-in units are available in obsidian black and graphite grey. The market launch is planned for November 2017.
