VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
STEP 2:
A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the wok. The following chart indicates the Minimum
blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.
CAUTION:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall
Ducting, however, some local building codes or inspectors may require
double wall ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies,
before starting to ensure that the hood and duct installation will meet
local requirements.
A variable speed Hood blower can reduce noise and loss of air conditioned household air when
maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is only required when the
wok burner is in operation. For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed
a minimum of 36” above the wok cooking surface, (step 3 pg. 8). If the hood contains any combustible
materials (i.e. wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36” above the cooking surface. Due to a high
volume of ventilation air, a source of outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly
important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating contractor
should be consulted.
