Proper venting along with a sufficient quantity of make-up air is essential for proper oven operation. A mechanically driven, canopy exhaust hood is the preferred method of ventilation and must conform to local codes along with the current version of NFPA-96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment (latest edition). The oven hood must extend 6" (152mm) beyond all sides of the oven. The distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the hood should be between 6'6" (1981mm) and

7' (2134mm).

Aventilation hood that supplies make-up air down the back vertical wall should be avoided since air currents can interfere with the oven flue exits. If such installation is unavoidable, an additional draft hood, specifically designed to deflect downdrafts, must be installed.
