ventless hood option

The Ventless Hood option is factory installed directly on the top of the Alto-Shaam Combitherm oven. The hood is designed to vent clean air back into the kitchen, filtering vapors and grease. A high-power fan draws steam and fumes into the hood intake and out the top surface exhaust vent. Fumes and vapors are circulated through filters draining the condensation through a drain at the rear of the hood. An activated charcoal filter cleans the air before venting it out the top of the hood.

A ventless hood condensate drain line to the floor drain must be installed. The 3/4" NPT thread connection is found at the back of the hood. The drain line must always be a positive gradient away from the Combitherm.
