CATA GK 4500 WH Built-under Cooker Hood White 360 m³/h 51 cm LED Lighting 2 Speeds Slider Control
The CATA GK 4500 WH Built-under Cooker Hood White 360 m³/h 51 cm LED Lighting 2 Speeds Slider Control is designed to provide efficient kitchen ventilation for modern households. Featuring a clean white finish and a compact 51 cm width, this built-under cooker hood integrates smoothly beneath kitchen cabinetry while delivering a maximum extraction power of 360 cubic meters per hour. It supports both ducted and recirculating modes of operation, allowing flexible installation options based on your kitchen layout and ventilation setup. Energy-saving LED lighting illuminates the cooking area effectively, and the intuitive slider control makes it easy to adjust between the two available operating speeds.
This cooker hood offers reliable performance with an energy efficiency class B rating, helping to manage annual energy consumption efficiently at 30 kWh. The inclusion of an aluminium grease filter ensures dependable capture of cooking grease and airborne particles, contributing to cleaner kitchen air. Dual extraction modes provide versatility for homes with or without external ventilation channels. Furthermore, the integrated LED lighting offers bright illumination over the cooktop while consuming minimal electrical power.
This model may not meet the demands of large professional kitchens or very spacious open-plan living areas that require higher extraction capacities. Additionally, homes seeking advanced touch controls, automated sensors, or a larger canopy width exceeding 51 cm will need to look at alternative models.
To operate the appliance, slide the mechanical control switch to select the desired fan speed depending on the intensity of your cooking. Turn on the LED lighting independently to illuminate the cooking surface while preparing meals. Ensure the cooker hood is switched on a few minutes before you begin cooking and left running for a short period afterward to clear residual steam and odors effectively.
Regularly clean the aluminium grease filter to maintain optimal airflow and prevent grease buildup. Inspect and replace any internal filters if operating the appliance in recirculating mode according to the manufacturer guidelines.
