THE NEW BORA PROFESSIONAL

The New BORA Professional: Milestone and symbiosis of innovation, aesthetics and effectiveness

Raubling. BORA Lüftungstechnik GmbH, the manufacturer of innovative cooktop extractor systems, is presenting another product innovation at the Cologne International Interiors Show 2017 to coincide with the Bavarian company’s tenth birthday. The new BORA Professional boasts an electric cooktop extractor, intelligent operator guidance and is a true modular high-end system consisting of six components.

Innovation and development are part of the BORA company philosophy. BORA Professional, which was the company's first product and laid the foundations for the BORA principle in 2007, has now been perfected in terms of innovation, functionality, simplicity and the highest level of performance. The result is a genuinely self-contained system - a machine consisting of a cooktop, extractor, motor, duct (BORA Ecotube), filter and wall sleeve (BORA 3box). In this system, the cooktop and cooktop extractor communicate with each other.

A fundamental innovation is the change from what was previously a mechanical system to the electrical BORA system. When a cooking zone is switched on, the cover flaps open automatically and virtually silently. At the end of the cooking process, it closes again so it is completely flush and with no visible joint gap. Beneath the filter in the cooktop extractor is a drip pan for fats.

The knobs with the user interface on the front of the cooking surface form the heart of the system and enable smart operator guidance: For the first time, the operating elements incorporate the system’s intelligence, making BORA Professional the most innovative development to date. The temperature is displayed on the knob where it can be adjusted with a combined touch and rotation movement. More functions and programmes, including the cooktop extractor controls, are also executed from here. The cooking surface available and the cooking zone can be utilised to the full. This makes the BORA Professional cooking surfaces and cooking zones one of the largest available on the market. The new product enables really easy cleaning thanks to its wider extractor opening and easily removable elements.

The new BORA Professional is available in two versions: firstly, the same flexible system giving the client maximum freedom when planning the kitchen. Everything can be individually combined.

The product innovation is also a genuine world first because BORA Professional is now also available as a plug & play version. In this set-up, the motor and cooktop extractor form one unit. The pre-configured system provides maximum simplicity and installation positions. The recirculation version is also available as free-floating countertops with an installation height of 199 mm.

The discreet design of the new BORA Professional was based on perfect user functionality: easy lifting of the extractor, feel and function of the control knob, simple user interface. Uncompromising quality is guaranteed: everything that looks like stainless steel is also stainless steel.

The new design maintains all the original BORA advantages: Cooking in fresh air with clear view, even easier to clean, effectiveness, best materials and design freedom. In the new Professional version, BORA remains focussed on systems that extract downwards and captivate with their simplicity.

BORA Ecotube and BORA 3box: innovative components for a complete system

A new and unique duct system with optimally aligned wall sleeve brings BORA Professional to the point of perfection. The system now available with BORA Ecotube and BORA 3box meets the high requirements in terms of effectiveness, ease of installation and flexibility and represents a streamlined, integrated solution.

New BORA Tepan cooktop

The new BORA Professional can be combined with a new cooktop, which aesthetically integrate through clear visual lines with the design typical of BORA.

The new full-surface BORA Tepan stainless steel grill is operated with micanite-surface heating elements, the control electronics are integrated in the cooktop. Operation is also performed by means of the user interface for the knob. The 4 mm deep-drawn and brushed stainless steel surface with rounded inner corners guarantees simple cleaning. The temperature distribution is consistent and quick heating to 250°C in less than five minutes is possible.
