The Bella 60 BK is one of the best entry-level chimneys for Indian kitchens. It has a heavy-duty baffle filter for trapping oil and other residue present in cooking fumes. It allows the air to pass out through the ducts and into the outer environment while the grease remains embedded in the filter. Once in 6 months you can wash the filter with hot water and soap. Use a non-abrasive scrubber and scrub it gently under a tap. Allow it dry fully before fitting it back again in the hood.
The chimney is driven by a 190-watt motor with high-extraction capacity. It has a twin turbine with a steel centrifugal fan that increases capture area. The low-drag housing design of the twin turbine ensures an obstruction-free system for minimal air drag and optimal power use.

The Rapid 60 Sunflame chimney uses heavy-duty baffle filters to deal with grease and odors. The many curved pathways inside the filter inhibit microscopic oil and food particles present in the air stream. These particles remain behind in the filter while the gas and steam are allowed to move out through the pipes and into the outside.
Baffle filters are designed to suck out oil smoke released during oil-heavy cooking. They need cleaning once a few months. Soaking them in hot water for about 15 minutes prior to washing helps soften the grease so that when you scrub it, the dirt comes off easily.
The chimney has Thermal Auto Clean which is another way of cleaning the filter panels. This function uses a heating element to melt the solidified oil. The oil collects in an oil tray from where you can clear it out periodically. Auto Clean ensures the filter stays clean and suction capacity is unaffected.
