MEX DOWN DRAFT HOODS Italian innovation from the premium METRIX line — a vent panel recessed into your countertop that rises when you cook and glides away after, leaving your island kitchen clear and beautiful. Just 70 dB. Almost every kind of hood sits above the hob, wall-mounted or hung from the ceiling, so there is always something over your head. A down draft hood inverts that: it installs in the worktop beside the hob, leaving the space above the hob completely clear. The METRIX PLANA BL is a black toughened glass panel with Perimeter touch control, so nothing protrudes from the worktop, and it carries its own LED lighting. The PLANA BL is a METRIX product, not a MEX one. Worktop installation needs the cut-out and the duct route prepared in advance. Ask your dealer about the installation conditions and the cabinet depth required before ordering. The METRIX PLANA BL is made in Italy, and what backs that up better than a slogan is that every figure comes with the standard it was measured to. Net airflow of 710 m³/h, measured to IEC EN61591. A noise level of 70 dB, measured to IEC EN60704-3. A 275 W motor, four speeds, an Intensive setting for 10 minutes when the cooking gets heavy, and a 30-minute run-on timer. The PLANA BL is a METRIX product, not a MEX one. The airflow quoted is a net figure, and both figures were measured to the IEC standards cited, which may differ from figures obtained by other methods. The advantage of sitting in the worktop is that it can be put away. The METRIX PLANA BL has a panel that rises and retracts: it lifts while you cook, catching smoke from beside the hob, then drops back into the worktop and the counter is flat again. There are four speeds, an Intensive setting for 10 minutes, and a 30-minute run-on timer so it can keep clearing the air after the cooking stops. The PLANA BL is a METRIX product, not a MEX one. The source gives no figure for how far the panel rises or the clearance it needs from the hob. Ask your dealer for those details before the worktop is designed. Kitchen smells do not leave with the heat when the hob goes off, and in an open-plan room that runs into the living space it is obvious. The METRIX PLANA BL has Room Comfort Mode, a continuous 24-hour ventilation setting: the unit does not only work while someone is standing at the hob, it keeps the air in the room moving. It suits an open kitchen that shares its space with the living room. The PLANA BL is a METRIX product, not a MEX one. The source states only that this is a 24-hour ventilation mode. It gives no airflow, speed or power figure for the mode. Ask your dealer for the details. An unwashed filter is one of the first reasons a hood stops pulling the way it used to, and almost nobody remembers when they last cleaned one. The METRIX PLANA BL has a filter cleaning reminder: the unit says when it is due, so performance holds without anyone keeping track. This model also comes with a Charcoal Filter, the F12 KIT 2, included. The PLANA BL is a METRIX product, not a MEX one. The feature is a reminder to CLEAN the filter. The Charcoal Filter is a separate kit supplied with the unit; included items can change, so confirm the terms with your dealer before ordering. Italian counter-recessed innovation — see it now.
