Platform about design and technology in the kitchen, home, and bathroom industry
The German company berbel has been developing, manufacturing and selling extractor hoods, cooktop extractors and cooktops since 2001. In the kitchen industry, berbel has made a name for itself with the patented berbel principle: berbel cooktop extractors use centrifugal force to separate grease so that no grease filter is needed. By using only high-quality materials, berbel cooker extractors meet the highest safety standards for private kitchens.
berbel has recently added a new model to its Downline family; the Downline Infinity. With a width of 900 mm and a depth of no less than 550 mm, this generous induction cooktop with integrated extraction is ideal for kitchen islands. Its unique dimensions and new, spacious surface layout allow all four cooking zones of the induction cooktop to be used simultaneously. Even frying pans won't get in each other's way. The left side of the cooktop has two hefty square coils with bridge function. On the right side are two double round coils with a special feature: the intelligent zones. These zones recognize the size of the cookware and adjust accordingly. This saves energy with small pans.
With its generous size, the Downline Infinity's cooktop invites you to push the limits while cooking. All important functions can be operated directly and intuitively. Technology enthusiasts can delve even deeper into the matter and define individual settings via the control submenus. However, to ensure that cooking remains clear, the display only shows what is currently happening. Both the induction cooktop and the extractor unit are operated via an elegant illuminated display with touch controls and slide function. The underlying system and controls have been completely newly developed by berbel engineers and designers themselves. Especially for design-conscious hobby cooks, all the important basic functions of this cooktop with integrated extractor can also optionally be operated using five buttons on the front of the base cabinet.
The new berbel Downline Infinity features a particularly powerful, energy-efficient ventilation concept. A single, aerodynamic extraction unit ensures constant suction power - naturally according to the revolutionary berbel principle. ►
Through the intake grille with angled guides, cooking odors and vapors are reliably drawn in. With the centrally positioned Powermover, the extraction capacity can be increased on a specific cooking side by moving the Powermover to the left or right. Naturally, the Downline Infinity is available in air extraction, recirculation or maintenance-free permalyt® filter versions.
The cooking surface of the Downline Infinity features a SCHOTT sound-absorbing coating and printing for cooktops with CERAN HIGHTRANS® eco. Pans and frying pans can therefore be moved more easily from one zone to another. In the process, they not only reduce metal wear on the pans, the whole thing is also considerably quieter than for cooktops with conventional decorative printing.
The powerful design of the Downline Infinity is combined with perfect engineering. And this has not gone unnoticed. The Downline Infinity has been awarded the ICONIC AWARDS 2022: INNOVATIVE INTERIOR best of best. Moreover, the cooktop extractor was also voted Best of the Best by consumers in the "large electrical appliances" category and managed to win the Kitchen Innovation Award 2022.
