Bosch 800 Series Downdraft Ventilation System

The unit sits flush with your countertop when not in use, preserving clean sightlines. When you are ready to cook, it rises vertically from the surface to capture smoke and odors directly at the source.

Yes, this system is convertible. It supports a recirculation mode, which uses charcoal filters to clean the air and return it to the kitchen, making it a viable option for homes where exterior ducting isn't possible.

The system operates at 12 sones on its maximum setting. While effective at clearing air quickly, it is audible, so you may notice the sound during heavy cooking sessions.

The protective front panel is made of stainless steel, which is durable and easy to wipe down. It is designed to catch cooking splatter, so regular cleaning with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner will keep it looking pristine.

The unit offers multiple ducting configurations, allowing for flexible installation based on your specific kitchen layout. You should consult your installer or the manual to determine the best path for your ductwork before finalizing your cabinet design.

This 30-inch downdraft system is designed for island installations. While it fits most standard 30-inch cooktops, you must ensure your countertop cutout and cabinet space can accommodate the depth and mechanical requirements of the retractable unit.
