KITCHEN VENTILATION TIPS

1. Cooking appliances such as ranges, cooktops, barbecues,

grills, etc., require adequate ventilation. Hoods should be large enough and cooking appliances located so that the hood overhangs the cooking surface as much as possible.

2. Consult a competent Kitchen Designer or Ventilation Engineer for proper hood size and C.F.M. requirements.

3. Locate cooking area for minimum cross drafts away from doors and windows, when possible.

6. WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or

when cooking flaming foods.

c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

4. CAUTION: -Vent unit to outside of building.

5. Make up air may be needed, to eliminate air pulled down fireplace, furnace and other openings, for proper hood installation.

d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate

for the size of the surface element.
