Tecnodom TD-FECL Steamless Condensation Canopy for TDC-5VH & TDC-10VH Ovens | 10A

[GLOBAL_MSG_2]

The Tecnodom TD-FECL Commercial Steamless Condensation Canopy is an Italian-engineered, ventless steam capture and condensation hood purpose-built to mount directly on top of the Tecnodom TDC combi oven range—specifically matching the TDC-5VH (5-tray) and TDC-10VH (10-tray) commercial combi ovens. Engineered for Australian commercial restaurant kitchens, artisan bakeries, aged-care facilities, catering lines, and venues where traditional external roof ducting is cost-prohibitive or structurally restricted, this hood traps, condenses, and drains steam at the source before moisture can escape into the working kitchen environment.

Measuring 920 mm Wide x 1005 mm Deep x 300 mm High with a compact 33 kg chassis, the TD-FECL features a high-efficiency built-in active steam condenser that liquifies cooking steam and vapours directly into water run-off. Fully synchronised with the host oven's electronic brain, the hood automatically ramps up to maximum extraction speed whenever the oven door is opened, capturing the massive initial steam plume before it can reach the ceiling or kitchen staff. Operating on a standard 240V 10-Amp plug, pre-arranged for superimposed stacked oven configurations, and equipped with removable filters, a removable drainer, and a 3/4-inch male water inlet, the Tecnodom TD-FECL delivers clean, compliant steam management across any commercial kitchen layout.

Why Australian commercial kitchens, bakeries, and caterers choose the Tecnodom TD-FECL:

• Engineered specifically for Tecnodom TDC series: Seamlessly integrates mechanically, electronically, and aesthetically with the Tecnodom TDC-5VH and TDC-10VH combi steam ovens.

• Integrated active steam condenser: Rapidly chills and condenses oven exhaust steam and moisture vapours into liquid condensate, significantly reducing kitchen humidity, ceiling mould growth, and peeling paint without expensive building ductwork modifications.

• Smart oven-synchronised automated extraction: Electrically linked to the oven controller; the hood modulates extraction speeds dynamically and automatically surges to maximum extraction velocity the instant the oven door is unlatched.

• Visual alarms on host oven display: Diagnostic monitoring communicates directly with the oven's front screen, alerting chefs to filter maintenance requirements or condensation faults.

• Stackable oven ready: Pre-engineered to accommodate superimposed (stacked) combi oven pairs, allowing high-capacity dual-oven batteries to vent through a single compact top canopy.

• Standard 10A plug-and-play power: Draws just 250W on an ordinary Australian 240V single-phase 10-Amp power supply, requiring zero heavy-duty electrical upgrades.

• Hygienic, easy-to-clean design: Outfitted with quick-release, dishwasher-safe removable grease and condensation filters, a removable drainage tray, and an accessible ventilator fan designed for fast end-of-shift sanitisation.

• Heavy-duty commercial stainless steel construction: Premium food-grade stainless steel casing resists steam corrosion, heat, cleaning chemicals, and grease accumulation.

• Dedicated water & drainage connections: Features an industry-standard 3/4-inch male water connection for cold condensing mist injection, a 30mm liquid condensate drain outlet, and a 120mm fume vent collar.

• 1-Year commercial warranty: Protected by an Australian 1-Year commercial parts and labour warranty for dependable operational peace of mind.

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To maintain high condensation efficiency, prevent grease build-up, and uphold commercial kitchen hygiene standards:

1. Removable Filter Cleaning: At the close of each service shift, unclip the removable stainless steel condensation and grease filters. Wash them in a commercial pass-through dishwasher or soak in warm water with a commercial food-grade degreaser. Ensure filters are completely dry before clipping them back into place.

2. Condensate Drainer & Sump Washdown: Slide out the removable drainage tray beneath the condenser block. Empty any collected cooking juices or residue, wash thoroughly in warm soapy water, and rinse the 30mm drain port to prevent scale or fat blockages.

3. Stainless Steel Body Wipe-Down: Wipe external stainless steel surfaces using a soft microfibre cloth and a neutral stainless steel cleaner, wiping in the direction of the metal grain. Never use abrasive scourers, steel wool, or caustic oven sprays on the canopy exterior.

4. Ventilator Fan Inspection: Periodically inspect the internal blower ventilator blades. Wipe off any oily film or flour dust using a damp cloth to ensure quiet, vibration-free fan rotation.

5. Water Line Strainer Check: Inspect the 3/4-inch cold water inlet filter periodically to clear any municipal water sediment or sand particles that could restrict water mist delivery into the condensation chamber.

Commercial Installation & Placement Guidelines

1. Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The Tecnodom TD-FECL runs on standard 240V single-phase power and comes fitted with an Australian standard 10-Amp plug. Plug directly into a dedicated wall socket adjacent to the combi oven power circuit.

2. Direct Top-Mount Alignment: Position the hood securely onto the factory locating points on top of the Tecnodom TDC-5VH or TDC-10VH oven. Ensure the internal flue connection sleeves align properly with the oven's exhaust vents before securing fixing brackets.

3. Water Supply Connection: Connect the 3/4-inch male water inlet to a cold, potable water supply line (recommended incoming pressure 150–250 kPa). It is highly recommended to install a commercial water filtration or softening unit upstream to protect internal nozzles from limescale formation in hard-water areas.

4. Drainage Line Routing: Connect the 30mm drain outlet to an approved heat-resistant drainage line discharging into an open commercial tundish or grease trap connection in accordance with AS/NZS 3500 plumbing regulations. Ensure the drain hose maintains a continuous downward fall without dips or siphons.

5. Electronic Oven Interconnect: Connect the multi-pin electronic communication cable between the canopy and the TDC oven's rear control port. This connection enables automatic fan speed modulation, door-sensor activation, and display alarm feedback.

Freight, Delivery & Commercial Site Access Notice

Standard commercial road freight delivery is available Australia-wide to registered business premises equipped with ground-floor street access or dedicated loading dock/forklift facilities.

Please note: Because this canopy ships secured on a protective transport pallet, deliveries to residential premises, domestic addresses, or regional sites requiring a hydraulic tail-lift truck require a specialised delivery quote. Prior to ordering, please verify that your kitchen ceiling heights provide sufficient vertical clearance for the combined height of your oven, stand, and the 300mm canopy. Contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to placing your order to arrange customised freight or discuss combined package quotes with the Tecnodom TDC-5VH or TDC-10VH ovens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Tecnodom TD-FECL require external roof ducting to the outside of the building?

No. The TD-FECL is a self-contained condensation canopy. It utilizes a cold-water injection misting system to condense hot cooking steam directly into liquid water, which drains away through the 30mm drain pipe. This makes it an ideal solution for rented tenancies, heritage buildings, shopping centres, or basements where penetrating external walls or roofs for ductwork is impractical.

How does the canopy know when to increase its extraction speed?

The TD-FECL is electronically connected to the main control system of the Tecnodom TDC oven. While the oven operates, the canopy maintains an energy-efficient base extraction rate. As soon as the door switch detects that the chef has opened the oven door, the canopy instantly surges to maximum fan speed to capture and condense the sudden burst of hot steam.

Can this hood be fitted to other brands of combi ovens?

No. The TD-FECL is custom-engineered specifically to match the roof profile, exhaust flue locations, electronic sensors, and digital interface of the Tecnodom TDC series (models TDC-5VH and TDC-10VH).

Can this canopy be used if I stack two Tecnodom combi ovens together?

Yes. The TD-FECL is pre-arranged to support superimposed (double-stacked) oven configurations. Using the manufacturer's dedicated stacking kit, exhaust vapours from both the upper and lower ovens are funnelled into the top canopy for condensation.

What kind of maintenance does the steam condenser require?

Routine maintenance involves washing the removable filters weekly, rinsing the removable drainage tray, and ensuring incoming water remains free of excessive limescale. In hard water areas across Australia, pairing the water supply with a commercial scale-reduction water filter ensures misting nozzles remain clean and unclogged.
