36″ Balance White Island Range Hood - IS36BALANCEWHT

Sophisticated, elegant, and powerful, the "Balance" range hood is a noteworthy addition to the Futuro Futuro collection of designer kitchen range hoods. Its minimalist rectangular shape, quiet operation, and advanced filtration capabilities are sure to please chefs and designers alike. This kitchen ventilation hood is produced in a 36" wide format that accommodates the most popular cooktop sizes (24", 30", and 36"). For larger cooktops, 2 units can be installed next to each other. An innovative mounting system allows installation in any part of the kitchen - so whether your cooktop is on an island, next to a wall, or even in front of a window - this hood will work. Even angled ceilings aren't a problem. This model is available in 3 colors (Pure Black, Matte Charcoal, and Opaque White), so you can choose the perfect color for your kitchen space. The White model in particular is a popular choice, as that color works with any palette and style. Even in an all-black kitchen, a dramatic counterpoint of white may be just the perfect masterstroke. Our design & engineering teams have combined high-tech features, advanced materials, and powerful filtration, to create a unique and desirable kitchen ventilation solution. In particular, the “Perimeter Suction System" is a radical improvement over traditional exposed filters. This patented technology draws air around a central deflector panel, so the airflow is shaped into an “air curtain", leaving odors and steam no chance to escape. The grease-capturing filters are cleverly concealed behind the panel - you don't need to see them unless you're about to pop them out for a rinse in the dishwasher. The system is also quieter, since the blower (already one of the quietest on the market) is also located behind the panel, and its operational noise is partially absorbed by the panel. With 4 speed options, from 150 to 940 CFM, you have full control over your kitchen ventilation experience. Instead of complicated buttons, there's a single rotary switch in the corner, which controls both lighting and fan speeds with one simple motion. LED light strip encircles the entire perimeter, so the lighting is smooth and even across the entire cooking surface. It's color-balanced to 3000 Kelvin, which is closest to natural daylight, so you can see what you're cooking perfectly. Odors are trapped by “Micro Carbon Infusion Filter" cartridges, which use activated charcoal and last for up to FIVE YEARS. Compare this with the typical “recirculating range hood" filters that last only a couple of months - it's a major reduction in ongoing expense and annoyance. Instead of designing a recirculation option as an afterthought, our engineers focused on air purification first, and the result is the patented “Air Loop" system. No chimneys, no ducts, no negative pressure issues, no make-up air pumps, no wasted heat or air conditioning - just clean air. Perfect for today's energy-conscious home designs that aspire to LEED and Passivhaus standards. The high-tech look, the quiet performance, the filters and lights that last for years, the protection and peace of mind. sku: IS36BALANCE-WHT
