CHOOSING A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN EXHAUST HOOD Controlling Odors Another important function of your commercial kitchen exhaust hood is keeping cooking odors from spreading throughout your restaurant. While your customers might love your onion soup, they don’t want to smell the onions cooking.
If you’re setting up a restaurant kitchen for the first time, or even renovating an existing kitchen, you can be completely preoccupied with choosing kitchen equipment, interior design ,furniture among other things ,but what about your commercial kitchen exhaust hood? Air flow is probably not your thing. And when you start to research your options, you quickly discover that there’s a lot more to it than you thought.
WHY CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMMERCIAL KITCHEN EXHAUST HOOD IS SO CRITICAL Although it may not be as much fun as choosing the cooking appliances, it’s essential that your commercial kitchen exhaust hood be carefully matched to the operation of your kitchen. Here’s why:
Fire Suppression If you are using any cooking appliances that produce smoke and grease, to meet building codes you must choose a commercial kitchen exhaust hood with a fire suppression system.

Smoke, Heat & Grease Removal
Besides meeting building codes, you must remove smoke for the health and safety of your kitchen staff. You also want them to be able to see what they are doing! And don’t forget, if smoke is not removed from the kitchen, it will eventually migrate to your dining room and drive away customers. Heat removal is also critical to the functioning of your kitchen and your staff. The last thing you need is workers passing out because the kitchen is unbearably hot.Removing grease is important for fire prevention, and also for cleanliness. Grease that’s not removed by your commercial kitchen exhaust hood will settle on your kitchen surfaces. That means your staff must spend more time cleaning.
