Pioneering performance from our smallest model: The AH 900 integrated ventilator with pull-out visorThis miniature marvel of ventilation technology is both discreet and effective. The svelte 1-1/8" thick screen with a hardened glass insert slides back under the top cabinet after use leaving only the narrow handle visible, while an integral fluorescent strip illuminates the cooking area evenly with no glare. For all its good looks, this model actually reserves its most impressive feature for the ears: despite its impressive ventilation performance, the double-inlet fan makes barely a whisper. Three power levels plus an intensive mode are provided. The intensive mode runs for three, five or ten minutes as required before returning the ventilator to its previous setting. Installation is straightforward, too, so the AH 900 can be installed easily and ready to use in nearly no time.
Three power levels plus a short intensive mode
Gaggenau's ventilators provide three standard power levels plus a special intensive mode. The intensive mode boosts extraction for a short period of time (three, five or ten minutes depending on the ventilator model) to cope with operations like searing which generates large amounts of smoke or steam. The ventilator returns to its previous power setting at the end of the intensive mode.
Stainless steel grease filter
All Gaggenau ventilators use a grease filter to clean the captured air and keep the ventilator interior and air ducts free of unpleasant deposits. The stainless steel filter is easy to remove and dishwasher safe.
Double-inlet fan motor
This powerful yet quiet double-inlet fan motor eliminates vapor efficiently and almost noiseless.
Filter saturation indicator
The filter saturation indicator lets you know as soon as the accumulated grease and residues on the filter begin to impair the efficiency of your ventilator. When the indicator light on the control panel begins to flash, simply remove the practical stainless steel filter and put it in the dishwasher.
Compact fluorescent strip lights
The compact fluorescent strip lights (36 Watts) light up the cooking area.
Intermittent ventilation
Ventilators with this feature can be set to switch on automatically for five minutes an hour at the power level selected.
Delayed shut-off function
Select this feature to continue kitchen ventilation after you finish cooking. The ventilator will run at the selected power level for an extra ten minutes to catch any remaining vapor and leave the kitchen air absolutely clean.
Universal ventilation
Most Gaggenau ventilators and special ventilation systems can be used as both extraction and recirculation systems. Both alternatives initially pass the contaminated air through a grease filter to keep the interior of the hood and the air ducts free of unpleasant deposits. In the extraction configuration, the air is then expelled to the outside either via a ventilation shaft or directly through an exterior wall. In the recirculation configuration, it passes through a built-in activated carbon filter to remove odors and then returns to the room. The activated carbon filter typically requires changing twice a year; this is a very simple operation requiring no tools,
