Using Your Cooker Hood
Ideally
Caution - Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
you should turn on your hood ten minutes before you start to cook, or at the very least when you
begin cooking. You should also run your hood for ten minutes after you have
cooking.
Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably
person, as per the installation instructions.
Induction Hobs - Metal Surfaces of the Extractor and Condensation
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
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. Induction hobs offer
a powerful, more efficient heating process but do not generate the higher levels of ambient heat that would
normally help dissipate vapour and steam as with older hob technology.
