VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

THE METHOD OF VENTILATION MUST BE APPROVED BY THE LOCAL CODE ENFORCE-

MENT AGENCY PRIOR TO EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION.

1. The smoker ventilation system should comply with this manual and the current edition of NFPA® 96.

2. It is recommended that Local Code Officials and a Commercial Kitchen Ventilation Contractor be consult-

ed prior to installation.

3. Provisions must be made for adequate air supply for the smoker. If the smoker is to be installed in a sealed

room or building utilizing exhaust fans, the room must be supplied with a return air system. Return air

must be equal or in excess of the exhausted air.

4. The smoker should be positioned to provide a direct, or shortest, path to the outside for the exhaust duct.

OPTION 1: VSP EYEBROW HOOD SYSTEM

Optional VSP eyebrow hoods are purchased through an authorized Southern Pride distributor.

 VSP eyebrow hoods are UL Listed to the applicable Southern Pride smoker model and are NSF certified.

 VSP eyebrow hoods can be utilized in stand-alone or through the wall applications.

 Applications with a straight run exhaust length in excess of 30 feet between the VSP eyebrow hood and the

fan assembly, and/or applications with more than one bend/elbow in the exhaust duct may require a larger

CFM fan.

 Exhaust fans larger than the VSP standard will require more than 120 volt power and/or 20 amps. Fans

requiring additional power can not be powered by the smoker. Additional wiring will be required to

properly power fans larger than the standard.

 The room in which the smoker and hood are installed will need an adequate make-up air system to replen-

ish the air removed by the VSP eyebrow hood system. The exhaust fan will draw approximately 1,320

CFM of air on low speed, while the smoker is operating and approximately 2,000 CFM of air on high

speed when the product loading doors are open.

 CAUTION: Unbalanced air pressure can have an adverse effect on the performance of the smoker

and the hood.

 Use of a VSP eyebrow hood requires the smoker to be a front

flue configuration.
