I've not been able to get into the roof and check the vents, but the builder advised that they are all done perfectly. We are noticing that the range hood is not effectively absorbing all the air while using the stove. Not sure if this is an issue with Technika CHEM52C9S 900mm (Std) or venting or duct (pic attached). I appreciate any suggestions. edit: the size of the duct is about 100mm Cheers Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Is that rust in around the pipe that I see? I'm not even sure why that has been installed, and what this has been connected to. Its unfortunate my builder is not even bothered to respond, since the SS who did this lousy job is gone on a long vacation and the new SS does not know anything what the old SS has done.
