Lincat Smart Vent System 1200mm

Q: Does this unit need to be vented to the outside?

A: No, the Lincat SmartVent is a self-contained recirculating system. It uses an advanced filtration process to clean the air before returning it to the kitchen.

Q: What kind of cooking appliances can I use it with?

A: It's designed for use with both gas and  electric cooking appliances up to typical 900 series medium to heavy-duty models.

Q: How loud is 62 decibels in a real kitchen?

A: It's roughly the volume of a normal conversation, so it won't be overly intrusive in a busy kitchen environment.

Q: How often do the filters need to be cleaned or replaced?

A: The metal baffle filters should be cleaned regularly, ideally weekly. The internal particle and  carbon filters have a longer lifespan, and  the unit will indicate when they need attention, but their life depends on usage.

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: Due to its weight and  electrical connection, we always recommend professional installation by a qualified engineer to ensure it's mounted safely and  correctly.

Q: Is the LED lighting bright enough to illuminate a 1200mm cookline?

A: Yes, the integrated energy-efficient LED lighting is designed to provide bright, clear, and  consistent illumination across the entire cooking area below.

Q: What is the main benefit of a four-stage filtration system?

A: It's incredibly thorough. Each stage targets a different type of particle, from heavy grease to fine smoke and  odours, resulting in much cleaner air.

Q: Will this unit handle the steam from a large boiling pan or stockpot?

A: Yes, its airflow rate of 0.34m³/sec is powerful enough to manage steam and  fumes from heavy-duty cooking, including large stockpots.
