Convotherm ConvoVent 4 Condensation Hood for 6.10 / 10.10

The Convotherm ConvoVent 4 is a condensation hood designed specifically to work with Convotherm combi ovens in the 6.10 and 10.10 configurations. Its purpose is straightforward: to capture and condense steam expelled through the oven's air vent and to manage the vapour released each time the oven door is opened during service. It is not a general-purpose extraction canopy — it is a purpose-matched accessory for a specific range of ovens, and that distinction matters when specifying ventilation for a combi installation.

In a working kitchen, a combi oven produces a consistent output of heat and steam, with door-open moments during busy service generating the most significant vapour bursts. Left unmanaged, this contributes to surface condensation, elevated ambient temperature, and added load on any wider extraction the kitchen is running. The ConvoVent 4 addresses this at source. It activates automatically when the oven powers up, which removes any reliance on kitchen staff remembering to operate it separately — a practical advantage when service is running at pace.

• Activates automatically on oven power-up — no manual switching required
• Captures steam from the air vent and manages door-open vapour release
• No cold-water connection required, simplifying installation
• Suitable for retrofitting to existing Convotherm 6.10 and 10.10 units
• Low power draw relative to the condensation management it provides

The absence of a required plumbed water supply removes one common installation complication. It is important to note, however, that this unit manages condensation only — it does not provide grease filtration or fume extraction. Any site operating a gas combi oven will need to ensure appropriate extraction and safety provisions are in place beyond what this hood offers. A qualified ventilation engineer should assess the full setup before sign-off, particularly where building regulations or insurance requirements apply.

The ConvoVent 4 is well suited to operations running Convotherm 6.10 or 10.10 electric combi ovens where the primary concern is steam and condensation management rather than active fume filtration. For sites that require fume extraction alongside condensation handling, a higher-specification hood would be the more appropriate route.
