Convotherm ConvoVent 4 Condensation Hood for 6.10 / 10.10

The Convotherm ConvoVent 4 is a condensation hood built specifically to work with Convotherm combi ovens in the 6.10 and 10.10 configurations. Its function is 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 oven installation.

In a working kitchen, an unmanaged combi oven generates a consistent output of heat and steam, particularly during door-open moments at the height of service. Left unaddressed, this contributes to surface condensation, elevated ambient temperature, and additional load on any wider extraction system in the kitchen. The ConvoVent 4 handles this at source rather than relying on the room's general ventilation to cope. It activates automatically when the oven powers up, which removes any dependency on kitchen staff remembering to switch it on separately — a meaningful practical advantage when a service is running at pace.

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

From an installation standpoint, the absence of a required plumbed water supply removes one common complication. It is important to be clear, however, that this unit manages condensation only — it does not provide grease or fume filtration. Any site operating a gas combi oven will need to ensure that appropriate extraction and safety provisions are in place beyond what this hood offers. A qualified ventilation engineer should assess the complete 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 in addition to condensation handling, a higher-specification hood would be the more appropriate route.
