Maintenance/Troubleshooting (Continued)
C What To Do If...
Smoke is in the kitchen. Check the following:
Is the hood sized appropriately for the type of cooking equipment
it is ventilating?
The purpose of a hood is to collect cooking contaminants and hold
them until the blower unit can exhaust them to the outside. Therefore, it
is necessary to size the hood based on the type of cooking equipment
that is being used. Whenever possible, hoods should overlap the
cooking equipment by at least three inches on each side. For island
applications, this is mandatory. The hood should also project out to
the front edge of the front burners. Finally, the height of the hood can
affect its performance. Generally speaking, taller hoods are more
suitable for professional style ranges, whereas under cabinet hoods
are recommended for standard cooking equipment.
