Know More about Straight Line Chimneys

Electric chimneys are one of the most important kitchen appliances in present times. With the size of the kitchen becoming smaller in the small and cramped apartments in urban spaces, the electric chimney, an appliance which sucks out the smoke, oil and fumes from the kitchen post the cooking process, has become essential to keep the kitchen clean and odour-free. Electric chimneys are available in two types on the basis of their external design – straight line chimneys and designer chimneys. Straight line chimneys are different for the fact that they do not have a ‘designer’ hood as part of the construction and hence designed for practical functionality.

Straight line chimneys are ideal for those who want an efficient yet affordable chimney and especially suited for people with small families and a small kitchen. One of the most basic features in straight line chimneys that one must always consider when buying is its installation type. Most standard models can either be installed as a wall mount appliance or as an in-built appliance. 

In Straight Line Chimneys, there is usually one of three filter types – cassette, baffle and carbon. The cassette filter is made from aluminium mesh stacked on one another which allows the air to pass freely and the oil and grime particles to be collected. For better performance, cassette filters need to be cleaned periodically. Baffle filters feature a multiple curve structure which change direction when smoke and grime particles pass through for their collection without affecting the suction power of the chimney. These filters need to be cleaned only once quarterly in a year and can last several years. Carbon or charcoal filters are good to remove odour from the kitchen.

Some companies nowadays also make available straight line Chimneys with an auto clean function which enhances the ease of maintenance of this appliance. In layman terms, in a straight line chimney with an auto clean function, the accumulated oil and grime is blown towards a collector bowl through the force of a turbine and the collector bowl can simply be washed to clean. This feature reduces the effort of manual cleaning and is a great convenience for users, also enhancing the longevity of the chimney.
