Ventilation

Hoods, fans or other measures to exhaust excess steam and condensation to the outside are necessary in processing operations where products are cooked and heated, or where there are otherwise considerable amounts of steam or other vapors released in the processing area. Hoods are required over deep fat fryers, stovetops and ovens. These hoods must be connected to fans and/or vents that exhaust to the outside.
