About the Viking VIPR181
- 48" Downdraft Ventilation System with Optional Internal/External Blower
- Delay/Off Feature
- Retractable and Controls on Intake Top (Blowers Not Included)
When people think of Viking, the bold, commercial look of the Professional Series range is the image that most likely pops into their heads. Ultra-premium features like high-performance burners, convection baking, and infrared broiling easily handle everything from crème brûlée to rack of lamb. The legendary Viking range is available in gas and electric models, as well as an array of sizes and finishes to fit any kitchen.
And for those who want professional performance without the professional look, there is the Designer Series. Clean lines and contours meld gracefully into cabinets with style, offering a striking new look for Viking. Fully equipped with outstanding features and power, this complete line of built-in products doesn't sacrifice any of the world-renowned Viking performance for fashion's sake. Haute couture meets haute cuisine.
Viking doesn't see the kitchen as a collection of products, but a complete cooking environment. Cooking isn't a chore - it's an art form. Everything must work together in form and function. Both the Professional and Designer lines deliver the ultimate in performance with a cohesive look for the kitchen. Each line offers a full range of products, so you don't have to resort to mixing and matching brands and styles. Viking offers the truly consistent ultra-premium kitchen. The complete Viking kitchen is complete perfection.
With four variable fan speeds, the stainless steel Professional Series downdraft eliminates odor and smoke when you need it to, then disappears when you don't - retracting into the counter. Suitable for rangetops, cooktops, island and wall installations, it offers a 10-minute delay/off feature and choice of control options - on the intake top or with a separate remote-mounted panel.
