This principle extends to even the most basic household appliances, including chimneys, which play a crucial role in maintaining a clean and healthy kitchen environment.

Auto Clean Chimneys: Auto clean chimneys are filter-less so the smoke with grease goes inside the chimney and some it gets collected in the Motor housing and inside body. This chimney is equipped with an automatic cleaning mechanism that when activated heats the motor housing and melts the oil which then drips down in the oil collector. After that one needs to get the oil collector remove and clean and place it back. The auto clean function needs to be performed in 20-30 days depending upon the oil being used in the cooking.
