Keeping your kitchen air clean is essential, and with BORA cooktop extractor systems, it’s easier than ever. If you’re using your BORA in recirculation mode, your system has a two-stage filter system that ensures both grease and odours are taken care of: 1. Grease filter – Captures grease particles from cooking vapours. 2. Activated charcoal filter – Removes odours of all kinds for fresh, clean air.

When to Clean or Replace Your BORA Filters

BORA grease filter: This should be cleaned regularly in the dishwasher. A quick wash keeps it performing efficiently and prevents build-up. BORA charcoal filter: Depending on your system, it should be replaced after 150 to 600 operating hours. Replacing the charcoal filter ensures your extractor continues to remove odours effectively and keeps your kitchen smelling fresh.

The BORA eSwap System: Hassle-Free Filter Change

Changing your BORA charcoal filter doesn’t have to be complicated. With the BORA eSwap system, you can replace the filter from above through the air inlet opening. That means: – No need to remove drawers – No fiddling with plinth panels – A clean, quick, and stress-free process It’s one of the easiest maintenance jobs you can do to keep your BORA working at its best.

Step-by-Step: How to Change a BORA Charcoal Filter

1. Switch off your BORA system.
2. Remove the air inlet cover.
3.Take out the used charcoal filter.
4. Insert the new BORA charcoal filter securely.
5. Replace the air inlet cover – and you’re done!

That’s it – fresh air made simple.

BORA Hob Ventilation in Ireland: Ducted vs Recirculating Explained

Lyndsey Dunne — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 13:19:15 +0000

When designing a new kitchen in Ireland, every detail matters — from layout and lighting to appliances and ventilation. One of the biggest decisions when choosing a BORA hob extractor is whether to go for a ducted (exhaust air) system or a recirculating system. Both options are excellent, but the right choice depends on your home, your kitchen design, and your lifestyle. Here’s everything you need to know.

How BORA Hob Ventilation Works

Ducted (Exhaust Air) The extractor channels cooking steam, odours, and grease directly outside via ductwork. Air is drawn down through the hob, filtered for grease, and expelled outdoors.
Recirculating The extractor draws in cooking vapours, cleans the air with grease and activated charcoal filters, and then releases the purified air back into the room.

Ducted vs Recirculating: The Pros and Cons

A ducted, or exhaust air, system is highly effective at removing odours, steam, and excess indoor moisture. It does not require charcoal filter replacements, making it a strong long-term option. However, installation can be more complex and costly, as it requires access to an exterior wall or roof, and it may result in some heat loss during Irish winters.

A recirculating system is usually easier and more affordable to install, making it ideal for kitchen islands, retrofits, airtight Irish homes, and passive houses where retaining heat is important. However, charcoal filters need to be replaced regularly, and because moisture remains in the room, good general ventilation is still needed.

What’s best: an exhaust air or recirculation extractor?

Both systems have their advantages. Exhaust air systems fully remove moisture and odours, but are more difficult to install. Recirculation systems are easier to install and ideal for passive houses and low-energy buildings; however, they require the activated charcoal filter to be changed.

Choosing between a ducted or recirculating BORA hob isn’t just about ventilation — it’s about creating a kitchen that works beautifully for your home and lifestyle. Both systems offer outstanding performance; the best choice depends on your layout, energy efficiency goals, and design preferences.

At Dunvara Design, we don’t just design kitchens — we also supply and help install BORA hobs. That means we can guide you through the decision, ensure the right system is chosen for your space, and provide the full service from concept to completion.

Lyndsey Dunne — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:15:50 +0000

Ultra-Flexible Design for Any Cooking Style

The BORA M Pure stands out as the most versatile option in Bora’s compact cooktop extractor range. It adapts to your cooking style with ease, rather than forcing you to adjust. On the left, two zone induction areas provide precise control for smaller pots and pans. Meanwhile, the right side features advanced surface induction zones. These adapt effortlessly to larger cookware, including roasters and rectangular pans. Whether you’re preparing a quick meal or tackling a more elaborate dish, the M Pure gives you the flexibility to cook your way—without compromise.

Surface Induction with Smart Bridging

What truly sets the BORA M Pure apart is its clever ability to transform cooking space. With the help of the automatic bridging function, the two surface induction zones on the right (each measuring 230 × 230 mm) can seamlessly combine into one expansive 230 × 460 mm cooking zone. As a result, it becomes perfect for grill pans, roasters, or larger cookware that needs more surface area. Best of all, the power adjusts automatically, so you can manage the entire zone effortlessly using just one control.

Intuitive Touch Control, Reinvented

Operation is seamless and elegant, thanks to Bora’s signature sControl panel. The vertical touch slider lets you adjust power levels simply by sliding your finger up or down—or by tapping directly. Context-sensitive functionality ensures only relevant options are visible at any time, with visual cues and acoustic signals guiding the user with subtlety and precision.

Personalise Your Kitchen with Colour

Function meets expression with the BORA M Pure’s colourful inlet nozzles—available in a range of finishes including orange, red, blue, jade green, sunny yellow, black, greige, and light grey. These interchangeable nozzles can be swapped out effortlessly with one hand, letting you match your appliance to your kitchen’s colour palette or mood.

A Compact System, Maximised for Performance

The extractor sits in the centre of an intelligently offset zone layout, providing generous space around the fan opening. This allows two large pots (up to 24 cm) to be used one behind the other without crowding. The thoughtful design ensures optimal air capture from every angle—without obstructing your cooking space or compromising performance.

Effortless Customisation and Setup

Through the configuration menu, you can personalise your BORA M Pure’s base settings at any time. From fine-tuning your touch sensitivity to adjusting visual and sound feedback, every detail is designed to give you full control over your cooking environment—without complication.
