Is the ConvoVent Mini suitable for kitchens that also use open cooking equipment?

No — this unit is designed solely to manage steam from combi oven cooking cycles and is not rated to handle grease-laden air. If your kitchen runs griddles, fryers, or other open cooking equipment in the same space, a full extraction canopy with appropriate grease filtration will be required, either instead of or alongside this unit.

Does the ConvoVent Mini satisfy building regulations or environmental health ventilation requirements?

Not in all cases. Because it recirculates air back into the kitchen rather than venting externally, it may not meet the ventilation requirements set out for certain premises or planning conditions. We would always recommend confirming your specific obligations with your building control officer or environmental health adviser before relying on this unit as your sole ventilation provision.

Which Convotherm mini models is this hood compatible with?

The ConvoVent Mini is designed for use with the Convotherm mini range of combi ovens, and compatibility depends on the specific model and configuration. If you are unsure whether it will fit your existing or planned oven, it is worth checking with us before ordering — getting the pairing right at the outset avoids installation complications later.

Product Description

The Convotherm ConvoVent Mini is a condensation management hood designed specifically for use with the Convotherm mini range of combi ovens. Rather than routing steam to an external duct, it captures the vapour expelled during cooking cycles, condenses it internally, and returns the treated air to the kitchen. For sites where traditional ducted extraction is impractical — whether due to building constraints, planning restrictions, or tenancy agreements — it offers a straightforward way to deal with steam at the point of emission.

In service, compact combi ovens positioned in enclosed or tight spaces can generate meaningful levels of steam and humidity, particularly during back-to-back cooking cycles. The ConvoVent Mini addresses this directly, helping to keep the immediate working environment more comfortable and reducing moisture build-up on surrounding surfaces and equipment. It operates from the oven's own on/off switch and requires no cold-water connection, which keeps both installation and daily use uncomplicated.

Captures and condenses steam directly from the oven vent — no external ducting required
No cold-water connection needed, simplifying installation
Controlled via the oven's own switch — no separate operation required
Suitable for retro-fitting to compatible Convotherm mini models
Reduces humidity and surface moisture accumulation in the surrounding area

It is important to be clear about what this unit is and is not. The ConvoVent Mini is a condensation hood, not a full extraction canopy. It is not designed to handle grease-laden air from open cooking and should not be treated as a substitute for a full ventilation system where one is required under building regulations or environmental health guidance. It is best suited to operations using the Convotherm mini solely for combi oven cooking, where steam rather than grease is the primary ventilation concern.

If you are working through a kitchen layout where ventilation options are limited, or you are unsure whether this unit covers your requirements fully, it is worth talking it through before you commit — ventilation is one area where the wrong decision can create real problems later on.
