3. TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Condensation Information
The induction cooktop is designed to provide rapid heating, improved thermal efficiency and
greater heat consistency. For some customers with an induction cooktop, condensation can
form on their rangehood filters while using their cooktop.
The induction cooktops’ heat source is contained in the conductive base of the pot. When
compared with a gas, electric or wok burner, the heat is not isolated or contained to one area
and therefore gradually rises up on all sides of the pot or frypan. This combination allows the
rangehood filters to warm up slowly and eliminate the formation of condensation. For
induction cooktops, the immediate and contained heat source can produce vapours rapidly.
This prevents the filters from gradually warming up and increases the chance of
condensation forming.
There are many variables that can contribute to the condensation problem associated with
induction cooktops and rangehoods. Some of these variables include, but are not limited to:
- The Country or State you live in (example, WA versus VIC, and the variables in daily
temperatures)
- The position of your home and kitchen (morning/afternoon sun)
- The quality of pots and cookware you are using
- Height of rangehood
- Rapid heating
- Ducting angle
- Filter size
If induction rings, vitro-ceramic hobs and the like are not used correctly, they can lead to
problems with the condensation of liquids due to temperature differences. After some time in
use, these condensed liquids can build up and possibly appear on the metal filters or the
bottom of the rangehood.
For advice to avoid condensation, please refer to next page.

Page 9of 40
3. TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
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.

Page 10 of 40
3. TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
The Rangehood has one mode of operation:
Air extraction: The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and directed outside.
Please check the cleaning and maintenance section for the filters’ cleaning periods.
For Users
1. Do not leave the frying pan or fryer unattended, as the oil could overheat and catch
on fire.
2. Never flambé any foods beneath the rangehood. The unprotected flames could
cause a fire.
3. Before carrying out any operations inside the rangehood, unplug the appliance from
the electrical mains.
4. Respect the cleaning frequencies and intervals for changing the filters, as otherwise
the accumulated grease could cause a fire or damage to the appliance.
5. Changes made to the steel surface will render the warranty invalid.
For Installers
1. In addition to the size, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to
obtain the best performance.
2. For recommended height, please refer to Mounting Laws and Regulations.
