Guide to Ventilation Products

The Basics

Professionally sized and installed, kitchen ventilation systems are used in commercial cooking applications to remove cooking heat and effluent.

Quick Fact

Listen for noise from the hood. If something suddenly sounds different, that’s a sign that a problem may be developing. Reach out to the company that services the hood to schedule a checkup.

Cleaning and Maintaining

While local codes vary, as a general rule of thumb operators should clean grease filters and the capture area on a weekly basis. Less-efficient grease extractors will need cleaning more often.

Did You Know…

Ventilation systems’ fire suppression equipment and controls typically incorporate tanks of chemical agents mechanically activated to contain or extinguish fires.

Choosing Ventilation

When specifying a ventilation system, consider current and future needs for fire suppression, airflow and utilities.

By the Way...

When heavy grease buildup is not removed during professional maintenance, the ventilation system can be compromised and will likely need replacing sooner rather than later.

Ventilation equipment includes hoods, fire systems, pollution control units, grease extraction devices, controls, exhaust and makeup air systems. Browse the latest products and equipment in commercial foodservice ventilation here.
