Cooker Hood and Open (Conventional) Flue Oil Combi Boiler

I have an oil fired combi boiler with a conventional flue in m



kitchen. I want to install a Cooker Hood about 3 metres away from the boiler an vent the hood to the outside. The kitchen is 5 metres long 3.6 metre wide and 2.8 metres high. Having looked at various sources it is no clear if the cooker hood can be used only in the recirculating mode o whether providing additional ventilation from the outside into th kitchen would allow the hood to be vented to the outside. The cooke hood manufacturer says ask the boiler manufacturer and vice versa!!



Any comments welcome

Basically you have to try it, do a spillage test on the boiler whil the cooker hood is truned on and all doors and windows are shut, the again with ajoining doors to rooms with other competing appliances.

If it doesn't pass open a window until it does. Measure the gap in th window and fit permanent ventilation to that size
