VENTILATION HOODS
Means must be provided for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking appliance to exhaust combustion waste products to the outside
of the building. Usual practice is to place the unit under an exhaust hood. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial
hood. Consult local codes before constructing and installing a hood.
Room air movement should be monitored during installation. Strong exhaust fans in the hood or in the overall air conditioning
system can produce a slight vacuum in the room and/or cause air drafts – either may interfere with the pilot or main burner
performance and can also be hard to diagnose. If pilot burner or main burner outage problems persist – make up air openings or
bafes may have to be provided in the room.
