MaxFold is Fotile’s first fully built-in range hood. When the kitchen is quiet it disappears into your wall cabinet, flush and seamless. Start cooking and it unfolds on an aviation-grade folding arm, bringing its intake 10 cm closer to the pan — the “golden capture zone” — so smoke is caught at the source instead of drifting into the room.

The slim body sits fully inside the wall cabinet — full-recessed or flush — with a flat, seamless underside and a light strip that lines up with your under-cabinet lighting. The kitchen reads as one calm surface.

Fotile’s engineers borrowed the folding geometry of aircraft landing gear to create the lift arm. It is tested for 50,000 cycles and designed for 15 years of fold-and-lift without failure.

An automatic smoke screen opens out to widen the capture area from 280 mm on a conventional built-in hood to 413 mm, so the plume from a high-heat karahi is held and drawn in — not pushed into your face.

Fotile’s bionic noise-reduction structure and the Cloud Drive V12.0 PMSM DC inverter motor keep it as low as 38 dB — so an open kitchen stays a place to talk.

MaxFold keeps watching the kitchen air even when you are not cooking. If it senses lingering odours or harmful gases such as formaldehyde, it switches on and refreshes the air within about 60 seconds.

Wave your hand to switch it on without touching a greasy panel. Hood–hob link turns it on with the flame and clears the air after. The “Moonrise” colour touchscreen is large and easy to read for the whole family.

The flat bottom has no gaps to trap grease, the oil cup comes out without switching the hood on, the two-stage filter lifts out for washing, and anti-fingerprint glass stays clear.

Go inside MaxFold: the fold mechanism, the 413 mm capture zone, the Cloud Drive V12.0 motor and the bionic silencing — explained part by part.
