Hi
Just come back from holiday during which kitchen installation was ongoing.
Neff cooker hood D5625 fitted. There is no way to exhaust to outside so it is recirculating
Electrolux microwave EMS 26405 fitted. This model needs a "chimney" behind cupboards and a minimum exhaust gap of 50mm between top of cupboards and ceiling.
The cupboards have been infilled to the ceiling and I can see no obvious place for the outflow from either appliance to exhaust. The cupboards were fitted before we left and I do know there is a chimney to the top of the back of the fitted cupboard housing the microwave.
I assume that if left there is a danger of the microwave overheating and the area behind the cupboards filling with condensation etc.
Any ideas on a way around this other than removing the infill between the tops of the cupboards and the ceiling?
I will be speaking with the installer before work recommences.
