User advice to avoid condensation in the rangehood:
•
The rangehood should be switched on approx. 10 minutes prior to cooking and the delay shut
down timer set after cooking has stopped in order to clear the fumes held in the flue. These steps
will help clear the flue out fully.
•
Do not cook at full power straight away, i.e. start on low or medium power for a while so that the
steel in the rangehood can warm up.
• Filters must be kept clean. For induction cooktop users, aim to clean filters at least every 10 days,
and replace the filters if their condition begins to deteriorate.
• There must be a constant flow of air into the cooking area to avoid the creation of a depression
which can affect the rate of aspiration.
•
Follow the advice from the instructions for induction systems with regards to the condensation
effect.
•
Suggested height for induction cooktop is approx. 750mm above the cooking surface.
Each person’s circumstances are different, but the vast majority of induction cooktop owners have
had no problems with condensation. However, it is important to understand that:
Neither the rangehood nor the induction cooktop are faulty. That in some circumstances, the
combination of the rangehood, the induction cooktop and the many variables within your home,
can lead to condensation forming on your rangehood filters. With a gas or standard electric
cooktop, you should not have any condensation.
