We're currently shopping for a chimmney style cooker hood. I found one at John Lewis and downloaded the manual primarily for checking dimensions. However, the words "not designed for extracting steam" have now confused the selection process. By "chimney style" do you mean it's a faux chimney? The only type of cooker hood that's worth a damn is one that extracts to the *outside* of the house. Nope, it's a real chimney, a witches top hat above the hob. And a flat roof overhead to vent through, so can't see how it would not extract steam.... http://www.theappliancedepot.co.uk/j...1-s-steel-60cm But Manual Says No... A quick web search reveals that many extractor instructions contain the phrase "will not extract steam". There appears to be a couple of variants of the phrase so maybe it is copied from some kind of regulation document. I don't get it. Someone suggested maybe it means most of the steam will condense in the filters or grease trap (the wire grid). I will have to choose an extractor hood soon also. Can anyone explain ? Simon. |
