Choosing a Suitable Straight Line Chimney

A few practical points help narrow down options based on your kitchen setup.

1. Match the size to your hob or cooktop

Glen straight line chimneys are available in 60 cm and 90 cm widths. A 60 cm model suits standard 2 or 3-burner cooktops, while a 90 cm model works for larger 4-burner setups.

2. Decide between ducted and ductless installation

Several Glen models support both ducted and ductless modes. Ductless operation uses carbon filters to recirculate air, which suits kitchens without external venting access.

3. Choose your preferred control type

Push-button controls appear in most Glen straight-line chimneys and offer simple, reliable operation. Touch sensor controls are also available for a more modern interface.

4. Look at the build quality and the motor

Glen straight-line chimneys use Italian motors with thermal overload protectors. This safety feature prevents motor damage from overheating during extended use.

5. Consider filter maintenance

Baffle filters capture grease effectively and require only periodic cleaning with soap and water. They last longer than mesh filters and suit Indian cooking styles.
