Induction hob with extractor fan, unguided recirculation, experiences?

Good evening everyone,

today the installation of our kitchen was completed. An AEG Flexbridge 2in1 induction stove with extractor fan (recirculation) was installed. This is, due to cabinet planning and appliance components, via "ungeführter Umluft". My kitchen installer did not make a slot in the plinth or similar. According to him, the air escapes over the cabinets, etc. Google tells me that the post-run fan is important after cooking to get the "area" dry.

Are there any professionals here who can approve the installation situation?
I have attached a picture.

Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards

Even though I personally prefer a guided convection, the unguided version has the advantage that even less space is wasted - since your countertop has only a very shallow depth, this is probably a decisive factor here.

On this basis, Google is also completely right - and to my knowledge, your countertop will have an automatic feature for this as well (the after-run starts automatically when you turn off the hob).

However, I always recommend this even with a guided convection - the filter will thank you...

For reasons of fluid dynamics, I would still have a cutout made in the baseboard.

I am here because of your advertisement in the thread "Construction costs are currently through the roof" ;-)

Do I understand correctly that your exhaust system just blows the air from the countertop down into the (looks like drawers)? If you have the big pot of noodles standing there, the exhaust air is pretty humid and the filter alone doesn’t hold that back. Even if there is a small liquid collection container installed, the humid exhaust air condenses on everything nearby, or am I wrong? Apart from the fact that sooner or later it will get "greasy," because who cleans the filters every few weeks with the same discipline over decades?

In any case, good that you bring up the issue, we haven’t paid attention to it at all with our new kitchen so far and will follow up now. It is not coming until Jan. 24.

*Edit:
How do you open the window completely in the kitchen?

My kitchen installer did not make a slit in the base or anything like that. According to him, the air escapes over the cabinets, etc.

That's true and it works,
but uncontrolled, and that can cause rot in places you never see.
The installer took the easy way out :confused: and nothing will probably happen during the warranty period.
If a smell appears in 10/20 years, I would have a suspicion :rolleyes:.
I would have it changed, I don't want that stuff turning into a hose in the cabinets after 20 years.

Thanks in advance for your answers. I have attached a picture of the components that came with the stove. In my opinion, parts are also missing for the installation of a guided convection that could have been installed if there had been enough space, right? (bends, grids, or similar) I have also attached the cabinet (please don’t be confused, a "installer" started who unfortunately was not capable. Another installer then completed our kitchen (from the kitchen studio). So would you have the entire baseboard slit? I want to avoid mold forming somewhere at some point, etc. My installer said he has installed similar systems exactly like this and there have been no problems so far (well, these probably only appear much later :D) @allethewayup the faucet is "unhooked" when opening the window Fa. FRANKE Neo Atlas Window (I also didn’t consider that and first ordered the wrong faucet :) )

You blow the moist air under your countertop best of all against the cold exterior wall? I wouldn't cut any slots there, I would either blow the moist air directly outside or hang a recirculation hood over the stove.

The air under your baseboard has, when you cook pasta, 100% rh within a few minutes, it just drips down there.

What are slots supposed to accomplish? Warm moist air wants to go upwards, not downwards. For proper circulation, you also need ventilation slots at the top of the countertop. Such a slot might be enough for the normal humidity in the kitchen, but not for the tropical climate you create with your exhaust hood under the countertop.
