kbb Birmingham 2020 | SHOW REVIEW Trends from the show Here’s a few of the new innovations that caught our eye during the exhibition BORA | X Pure
Bora brought forward the offi cial launch of its new X Pure cooktop extractor line from Eurocucina to the kbb show. This extends its range of compact Pure induction cooktop extractors with new colours on its operating panel, extra features and a new design of air inlet nozzle. The range uses Bora’s sControl touch-control panel, which is centrally located just beneath the air inlet so as to maximise the size of the induction zones. An automatic power level function is said to make sure the level of extraction is suitable for the zone set to the highest power.
