- Perfect Seal: Guarantees a flawless fit, preventing steam leaks that aftermarket parts often cause.
- Compatibility Check Needed: It's not a universal part, so you absolutely must verify your oven model number first.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The kitchen team at 'The Severn View Bistro' in Shrewsbury noticed their Rational oven was releasing excessive amounts of steam, making the prep area uncomfortably humid. After a quick inspection by their engineer, they realised the original condensation breaker had become clogged and damaged over time.
"We ordered the new part and had it fitted the next day. The difference was instant. The air in the kitchen cleared up immediately, visibility improved, and it just became a much better place to work. It’s a small part that makes a huge difference to the daily grind."
Robert Evans – Head Chef
The replacement restored the oven's efficiency, leading to a 90% reduction in ambient steam and a more comfortable working environment for the entire kitchen brigade.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always disconnect the oven from its power supply before starting any work. Safety first!
- Carefully remove the oven's outer panels to access the old condensation breaker.
- Unscrew and detach the old unit, taking note of how it connects to the flue and drain.
- Clean the connection points thoroughly to ensure a perfect, leak-proof seal with the new part.
- Secure the new condensation breaker in place, ensuring all connections are tight before reattaching panels.
Keeping It Going
- Incorporate a visual check of the unit into your weekly cleaning schedule.
- During deep cleans of the oven, ensure the breaker's interior is free from grease and food debris.
- Regularly check that the drain line connected to the unit is clear and not blocked.
- Look for any signs of wear or corrosion on the seals and connections over time.

Explore more from RationalHow a Steam Condenser Keeps Your Kitchen Clear
Ever wondered how a Rational combi oven steam condenser actually works? It’s a clever bit of physics, really. Think of it like a cold can of pop on a warm day. The hot, moisture-laden steam from the oven is directed through this unit. Inside, the steam hits the cooler metal surfaces of the condenser, forcing it to rapidly change back into water—just like droplets forming on that cold can. This collected water is then funnelled safely into a drain, meaning only relatively dry, cool air is released. It’s a simple but highly effective way to stop your kitchen from turning into a steam room every time you open the oven door.
Who Should Buy This?
