New Scirocco Plus by Faber

Now available from Faber is the Scirocco Plus 14" rise down draft hood.

Scirocco Plus with No Logo on top to mix and match

The Scirocco Plus is a 14" tall down draft hood that rises and lowers with the push of a button and fits behind many styles of cooking. With an unbranded stainless steel top strip, stainless covered mesh filters, built-in safety features, a variable speed slide control and your choice of a powerful 600 cfm PRO internal blower or 900 / 1200 cfm remote blowers - the Scirocco Plus delivers.

Perhaps the most unique feature is the ability to move the motor blower box that is below the counter in the front or the back of the hood. This allows use of the Scirocco Plus behind ranges, cook tops and cook top / wall oven combinations. Including remote and internal blower ducting there are 9 different directions that the duct work can be installed to make installations easier and flexible.

Our current Scirocco 8" rise hood will still remain in the product line as a builder / value alternative.

Faber Cristal HC Slide Out hood in Designer Kitchen

This weeks designer spotlight features Kevin Karst Design from Toronto in this stunning kitchen featuring the Cristal HC Slide Out hood by Faber.

Cristal HC by Faber in a Design by Kevin Karst

 This kitchen features high end stainless appliances and a Faber Cristal HC with an aluminum front installed. The designer comments on why he chose this hood by Faber:

“This hood subdued appearance preserves clean simple contemporary cabinet lines without compromising functionality.  I didn’t want the hood to visually compete with the beautiful fiddle-back figure of the English Figured Sycamore cabinet fronts.  I like the idea that it leaps into life only when needed.” - Kevin Karst


We couldn't have said it better! The Cristal HC is meant to integrate into your design and not become the focal point in the kitchen. When you are ready to cook simply pull the visor on the Cristal to reveal a second set of grease filters for a total of 4 filters and 19" of front to back coverage over the cooking surface. If the on/off switches on the lighting and motor are switched to "ON", then once the slider is pulled the range hood turns on and the lights come on. When you are finished cooking, simply slide the visor back in to shut the hood off. 

The beauty of the Cristal HC is how versatile the product is. In the box comes a black, white and brushed aluminum (as seen in the photo above) front strip. The hood can also accept a wood cabinet front so the hood can completely integrate into the kitchen design. With top or direct rear venting, 500 cfm motor and dishwasher safe grease filters, this slide out has the right features for your kitchen.

New Blue LED Electonic Control

Even the most basic canopy range hood by Faber now features an updated control set up that enhances functionality, performance and aesthetics across the board. The new Blue LED backlit controls as seen below feature: 3 speeds, a blue LED indicator light to show the current speed and lighting and a 10 minute intensive speed timer that turns the hood on for 10 minutes at the highest speed to quickly eliminate odors.







When compared to the manual slide control on previous models, the new control is a big upgrade while not increasing the hood price.






Finally perhaps the biggest upgrade to Faber's decorative collection canopy hoods are the performance and energy savings in the hoods with the new controls. A new and improved motor is now in the models using the Blue LED control hoods. The previous models used a 500 cfm, 3.7 amp motor. The new models use a 600 cfm motor using 3.2 amps. Gaining 100 cfm's and reducing energy consumption with a 10% lower amperage motor is a win-win situation.

Below is a video link discussing the new controls:
