Metal Surfaces of the Extractor and Condensation
When cooking with pans using a large water content, large quantities of vapour and steam
can be produced very quickly. This steam may condense onto the cold metallic surfaces of the
extractor and even the splash back area if tiled, glazed etc.
(This is not a fault with either the hob or extractor if correctly installed.)
The amount of this condensation on any particular surface will depend on many factors including the
ambient temperature in the kitchen, the related ambient temperature of the metal surfaces, the
general ventilation within the kitchen, the type of food being cooked and the duration. Using lids on
pans can help reduce the amount of steam being released and subsequent condensation.
Energy Efficiency
In order to optimise efficiency of the product and reduce environmental impact we recommend the following:
• Product is installed in ducted configuration, using maximum Ø of ducting advised in this manual, ducting
as straight and as short as possible.
• Any filters are cleaned/replaced when necessary to maintain good airflow and grease filter efficiency.
• Switch on the hood at the minimum speed required to clear unwanted cooking odours.
• Switch off lighting when not in use or not required.
