Default Cooker hood - Proline, Tecnik?

Ah! That sounds reasonable. So quite possibly a Tecnik product
rebranded just for Currys. Thanks.


Tecnik was an own label brand name that was owned by Moben kitchens
which ceased trading in 2011 taking Tecnik with them. Tecnik never
manufactured anything but bought in from any supplier they could find.
Their products were usually fairly cheap and nasty and were mainly
supplied as "free" with Moben kitchens or kitchens from Kitchens
Direct.

Proline was another label name owned and operated by Comet and only
sold by Comet, serviced by Comet and spares were often only available
from Comet. They ceased trading in 2012 when Comet went into
administration.

There is no supplier support for either brand but you might be able to
find out who the original manufacturer was and use their parts - for
example Candy made some Tecnik items. Things like cooker hoods tended
to be rebadged Chinese no name items and unique spares are
increasingly difficult to find. Filters and the like are usually
easier as one size may fit several unrelated devices.
