Chimney

Description

A kitchen chimney is a modern appliance designed to eliminate smoke, fumes, grease, and odors produced during cooking. By drawing in and filtering these pollutants, chimneys ensure a clean and comfortable cooking environment. They are especially beneficial in homes where frying and grilling are common, helping maintain the hygiene and aesthetics of the kitchen.
