VENTILATION HOOD FILTERS The fryer ventilation hood consists of a three-part filtration system. The carbon based, Odor Control Filter will reduce odors to an acceptable level through the extraction of airborne grease. While the use of this filter is optional, utilization is strongly recommended when frying on a regular basis This charcoal filter should be lifted into place against the stainless steel flanges, directly in front of the exhaust blower, and dropped into the proper channel.
GREASE RECEPTACLE & GREASE DRIP PAN Cooking vapors produced by frying, particularly pressure frying, will condense and accumulate on the stainless steel surfaces of the hood. The ventless hood is designed to collect some of this condensation in a grease receptacle located directly under the Stainless Steel Baffle filter. Additional accumulation is collected at the top of the fryer and is funneled through a drain at the top of the fryer into a collection receptacle located at the bottom of the unit.
