Induction cooking considerations
Induction cooktops use energy efficient technology that only heats the contents of a
cooking pot.
Unlike gas or traditional electric cooktops, the surrounding air does not get heated
when using an induction cooktop. As a result, rangehood filters, splashbacks and
surrounding cabinetry do not get warmed up, increasing the likelihood of condensation
on these cooler surfaces.
Other factors like ambient temperature, humidity, natural ventilation of the room, size of
the cookware and how the induction cooktop is being used also influence condensation.
For example, aggressive boiling on high cooktop heat settings like PowerBoost increases
the rate at which water is ev
aporated, increasing the likelihood of condensation.
It is important to understand that neither the rangehood nor the induction cooktop are
faulty as a result of this phenomenon.
Condensation can be minimised by:
Installing the rangehood at the maximum height above the cooktop as specified in
this user guide.
Using the rangehood on a lower speed setting when boiling.
Using the induction cooktop on a lower heat setting when boiling.
Venting options
Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the
discharge of exhaust air are fulfilled.
The rangehood can be installed to operate with the exhaust air ducted externally from
the kitchen, or installed to operate with the exhaust air recirculating within the kitchen.
Ducted
For ducted installation it is recommended that 150 mm
diameter, rigid or semi-rigid ducting is used. This will
require a 160 mm (min) round hole in the ceiling or wall.
Care should be taken to position the hole correctly.
Vent through

Vent through
external wall
For optimal efficiency use the shortest and straightest
duct route possible and use rigid or semi-rigid ducting
for reduced noise and increased airflow. Flexible metal
ducting should only be used as a last resort (ie in difficult
installations) and if used ensure thatit is straight and
smooth and extended as much as possible.
