How does Köche Chimney heat auto-clean work?

To initiate Köche Chimney Heat Auto-Clean, press the auto-clean button on the control panel for 3 secs. A 10-minute timer will begin.

For the first 9 minutes, the internal heater melts and loosens the grease.

In the last 1 minute, the fan runs at low speed to blow the loosened grease out through the outlet.

Any remaining residue collects in the oil collector tray behind the filter.

After the cycle ends, carefully remove the tray, empty and clean it, and slide it back into place securely.

A BLDC (Brushless DC) motor offers several advantages:

How should I select the size between 60, 75 & 90 cm?

Choose 60 cm chimney for 2-burner stoves, 75 cm for 3–4 burners, and 90 cm for 4–5 burners or larger cooktops.

For spacious kitchens or heavy cooking, 90 cm is recommended for better suction and coverage.

What is the difference between a hob, cooktop and hobtop?

Hobs:

Hobs are typically installed by cutting the kitchen countertop creating a sleek and modern look.

While most hobs require this built-in installation, Köche hobs also come with legs, allowing you to place them directly on the countertop if you prefer

Usually come with advanced features like auto ignition, multi-pin burners, and safety systems.

Cooktops:

Sit on top of the kitchen counter and are not built-in.

Easy to install, move, or replace — ideal for renters or frequent movers.

Available in stainless steel or toughened glass designs with manual or auto ignition.

Hobtops:

Combine the premium look of built-in hobs with the convenience of cooktops.

Designed to sit on the countertop without requiring any cutting or recessed installation.

Offer a modern aesthetic with brass burners, auto ignition, and ergonomic knobs.

Can I use heavy cookware like iron tawa or pressure cookers on the hob?

Yes, hobs are designed to support heavy Indian cookware as long as the pan supports are sturdy and placed correctly.

Is auto-ignition safe?

Yes, auto ignition is generally safe, and in some ways, safer than manual ignition because it eliminates the need for matches or lighters, which reduces the risk of burns.

Will water spills or food spills damage the hob?

No, toughened glass and drip trays are designed to handle spills. Just make sure to clean them promptly.

Can I do the chimney installation if there are tiles or window?
