How does a BORA extractor hob work?

BORA combines the hob and extractor into one appliance. The extractor inlet is positioned within the cooking surface, allowing cooking vapours, grease and odours to be captured close to where they are produced.

BORA systems are available in recirculation and exhaust-air configurations.

With recirculation, cooking air passes through grease and activated-charcoal odour filtration before the cleaned air is returned to the kitchen. This can be particularly useful where external ducting isn't practical. With an exhaust-air installation, extracted air is ducted outside the property.

The appropriate system will depend on the kitchen design, cabinetry, building construction and available ventilation routes.

BORA X Pure Max – Five-Zone Induction Hob with Integrated Extractor

The BORA X Pure Max takes BORA's popular X Pure concept a step further, combining a large induction cooking surface, five cooking zones and powerful integrated extraction in one beautifully minimalist appliance.

Designed for larger kitchens and kitchen islands, the X Pure Max provides five cooking zones, giving you additional space and flexibility when preparing several dishes at once. Four generous surface-induction zones are complemented by an additional fifth cooking zone positioned behind the central extractor.

More Space for Cooking

One of the standout features of the BORA X Pure Max is its exceptionally generous cooking area.

Four 230 × 230mm surface-induction zones provide plenty of space for everyday cookware, while the additional fifth zone gives you somewhere for another saucepan without compromising the main cooking area.

The surface-induction zones can also be bridged, making them ideal for larger cookware and the BORA Grill Pan.

Integrated BORA Extraction

Like the rest of the BORA Pure family, the X Pure Max combines induction cooking and extraction within the hob itself.

Cooking vapours and odours are drawn downwards directly from the cooking area rather than rising towards a traditional overhead extractor.

For kitchen islands in particular, this creates a much cleaner architectural appearance, removing the need for a bulky cooker hood and leaving uninterrupted views across the kitchen and surrounding living space.

New 5-Inch Touchscreen

The BORA X Pure Max introduces a large 5-inch touchscreen display, providing clear and intuitive control of the cooking zones and extractor.

For those who prefer physical controls, BORA also offers optional illuminated control knobs which can be integrated into the kitchen furniture.

BORA Assist

The X Pure Max features an extensive selection of BORA Assist functions, including programmes for:

Frying • Boiling • Melting • Keeping Warm • Simmering • Pasta • Steaming • Coffee

When combined with compatible BORA cookware, these functions can help automate common cooking processes and make temperature control more consistent.

Matt or High-Gloss Finish

The BORA X Pure Max is available with either high-gloss or matt black glass ceramic.

The matt version provides a particularly understated appearance and is designed to show fewer fingerprints and signs of everyday use, making it an attractive choice for contemporary and minimalist kitchens.

Recirculation or External Extraction

The BORA X Pure Max can be specified for either recirculating or externally ducted extraction, allowing the system to be incorporated into a wide variety of kitchen designs.

Its relatively low installation height of just 199mm also helps preserve valuable storage space within the cabinet beneath the hob.

BORA Pure

The BORA Pure is a premium 76cm induction hob with integrated extraction designed for an 80cm kitchen unit. Its minimalist appearance, four induction cooking zones and centrally positioned extractor make it an excellent option for contemporary kitchens.

The current BORA Pure range offers intuitive sControl+ operation, BORA Assist functions and connectivity with the BORA One app. It is available with matt or high-gloss glass ceramic finishes.

For homeowners searching for a BORA hob in Ireland, the Pure is an excellent starting point for combining induction cooking and extraction in one streamlined appliance.

BORA M Pure

The BORA M Pure provides additional flexibility by combining conventional induction zones with surface induction.

Two surface-induction zones can be bridged to create a larger cooking area, making the M Pure particularly useful when cooking with larger pans, roasting dishes or the BORA grill pan.

At approximately 76cm wide, it is also designed to work with an 80cm kitchen unit and offers a strong balance between compact dimensions and cooking flexibility.

BORA X Pure

The BORA X Pure is a larger surface-induction hob designed for customers who want generous cooking zones and a highly minimalist appearance.

At approximately 83cm wide, it suits a 90cm kitchen unit. Its four large surface-induction zones can accommodate substantial cookware, making it particularly attractive for larger kitchens and kitchen islands.

The X Pure is available in recirculation (PUXU2) and exhaust-air (PUXA2) configurations, with matt (PUXU2R/PUXA2R) and high-gloss surface options available within the range.

For larger contemporary kitchens, the BORA X Pure is one of the most distinctive alternatives to a conventional induction hob and overhead extractor.

BORA S Pure

The BORA S Pure brings BORA's integrated extraction technology to more compact kitchens.

At approximately 58cm wide, it can be incorporated into a 60cm kitchen unit, making it particularly useful where worktop or cabinet space is limited.

Despite its compact dimensions, the S Pure provides four induction cooking zones and integrated extraction. Surface-induction zones on the right can also be bridged to accommodate larger cookware.

This makes the S Pure worth considering for apartments, smaller kitchens, and projects where an induction hob with built-in extractor is required without using a wider 80cm cabinet.

Why choose a BORA hob?

One of the biggest attractions of a BORA extractor hob is the freedom it gives the kitchen designer.

Removing the traditional overhead extractor can create an uninterrupted view across a kitchen island, particularly in open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces. It can also allow pendant lighting or architectural details to be positioned above an island without competing visually with a cooker hood.

Other advantages include powerful induction cooking, integrated extraction, minimalist styling, straightforward controls and removable components designed for easy cleaning.

BORA Recirculation or External Extraction?

Both options can work effectively, but the right choice should be considered during the kitchen design process.

BORA recirculation is useful where routing ductwork outside would be difficult. The extracted air is filtered before being returned to the kitchen.

BORA exhaust air directs the extracted cooking air outside and requires suitable ductwork to be incorporated into the kitchen and building design.

Planning the BORA system at an early stage allows the cabinetry, electrical requirements, ducting and drawer configuration to be designed correctly around the appliance.
