New Whirlpool Cooker Hood With iXelium™ Finish

The new Whirlpool AKR 474 IXL stainless steel chimney hood features the company’s new iXelium finish, combining style with ultra-ease of maintenance.

The new Whirlpool chimney hood is the perfect product for retailers keen to celebrate the benefits of kitchen extraction to their customers.  A glamorous statement appliance for any contemporary kitchen, this sleek model is also highly intelligent and easy to use.

The 900 mm wide hood has three settings controlled via the LCD touch control panel.  It can be installed for direct venting to the outside, extracting a powerful 700 cubic metres of air per hour.  However if this is not possible then it may be set for recirculation only, with a maximum extraction rate of 600 m³/hour.   With energy efficient LED lighting for clarity and powerful luminescence it is ideal for both preparation and cooking.  The hood is also easy to maintain with three grease filters that will slip neatly into a dishwasher whenever cleaning is required.

The outside of the hood is extremely well attired and will look good for many years to come, with Whirlpool’s new iXelium finish.  This is a special nanotechnology coating, which makes the chimney hood easy to clean with the simple wipe of a damp cloth.  It won’t scratch or discolour and will retain its magnificent pristine appearance and look newer for longer.

Commenting on the new chimney hood, Neil Austin, Trade Marketing Manager, Whirlpool, says: “Our Whirlpool AKR 474 IXL with the new iXelium finish is an elegant addition to the contemporary kitchen, offering a host of great selling points for our retailers.  It has a stunning appearance that is married to easy to use touch control technology.  Its ability to be either vented or recirculated gives retailers complete freedom when planning and designing a customer’s kitchen.”
