Detail

• 

  Lifting type air inlet

  The inlet drops toward the hob, so smoke is pulled in before it spreads into the room.

• 

  Closer to the smoke source

  The inlet sits about 350mm above the pot where a T-type hood sits about 580mm away. Large suction, applied at the pan rather than at the ceiling.

• 

  Flow deflecting oil filter

  A fluid-type filter net separates oil from smoke on the way through, so less of it reaches the motor.

• 

  Turbo suction

  Turbo is there for wok flare and deep frying: 22 m³/min against 20 m³/min in normal running.

Aesthetic and industrial design

Integrated finishing in brushed stainless steel, laser seamless welding.

Elegant to look at, and one continuous surface to wipe down.

Laser seamless welding

The body is welded by robotic arm along its whole length. Precise laser pulses join each board so the panels read as one piece rather than as a seam that traps grease.

Curved body finishing

Filament-finished curved corners: no hard edge at the height a cook walks past, and a knock-resistant shape where a square corner would dent.

Water-proof motor

Sealed against the water the auto-clean cycle puts through the canopy, which is what makes that cycle safe to run.

• Segregates water from oil
• Lower working temperature, longer service life
• Less noise while it is running

Questions about the V993

What size is the VATTI V993?

It is 896 mm wide and 420 mm deep, or 432 mm deep counting the rubber mats that sit behind it. Closed it stands 873 mm tall and the chimney draws out to 1,165 mm. Built into a cabinet it needs a 910 mm clear opening, and the shelf directly above it has to be removable.

How high should the V993 be installed above the hob?

500 to 600 mm from the hob surface to the bottom of the hood. Over a standard 850 mm cabinet that puts the bottom of the hood 1,350 to 1,450 mm off the floor. Higher than 600 mm and the lifting inlet loses the advantage it was built for.

What ducting does the V993 need?

A 7 inch run. The hood outlet is 200 mm across and the supplied hose is 180 mm inside, 185 mm outside. The wall or ceiling hole sits 2,300 to 2,400 mm off the floor, back to back or to the side, and the telescopic pipe wants at least 120 mm of clearance to the ceiling.

Is 2,500 m³/h enough for wok cooking in a condominium?

For most condo kitchens, yes: 2,500 m³/h with 850 Pa of static pressure, and turbo lifts it to 22 m³/min for a wok flare or a deep fry. Static pressure is the number that matters in a high-rise, because a long shared duct with several bends fights back. If your run is long or has more than two bends, the V929 pushes 1,300 Pa and is the safer choice.

How is the V993 cleaned?

Hot pressure steam wash, run from the panel. The motor is sealed against water, which is what makes running a wash cycle through the canopy safe, and the fluid-type filter net takes 85% of the oil out of the smoke before it reaches the motor. The stainless body is welded seamlessly, so there is no joint to trap grease.

What warranty does the V993 carry?

Two years on the hood and ten years on the motor, for the original buyer, bought from an authorised dealer. Register it at VATTI eWarranty when you buy: the registration has to be complete at the time of purchase for a claim to hold.

How much is the V993 and where can I buy it?

VATTI Malaysia does not sell online. The V993 goes through authorised dealers, who quote their own installed price depending on the ducting your kitchen needs. Find the nearest one in the dealer directory, or send us your kitchen layout and we will point you at the one that stocks it.
