If you lack the space or inclination to install a hood, downdraft ventilation systems offer an inventive way to remove smoke, odors & heat from your kitchen. With a single touch, some downdrafts can rise to the position you need or lower out of sight when you're not using it. While several manufacturers offer this system inside a range, most others are positioned as separate units placed behind the cook-top. Ranging in air-flow power from 300 to 1000 cfm's, downdrafts can be equipped with either internal, in-line or external/remote blowers. Downdraft finishes come in white, black, bisque, stainless & aluminum and in several different widths. By allowing an unobstructed view, downdraft ventilation is ideal for island applications, and equally proficient with most cook-tops and ranges.
