EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES:
Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, kettles, etc., for ventilation purposes. It is recommended
that a canopy extend 6" past the appliance and be located 6 feet 6 inches from the floor. Filters
should be installed at an angle of 45 degrees or more with the horizontal. This position
prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually
installed with the filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may
interfere with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames. Makeup air openings
approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory
performance on any appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the "OFF" position.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the
standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment", NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, USA, 02269.
