Question
Hi
I am a chef in Harrisonburg, Virginia who is planning on buying a Rational Combi.Did I need an exhaust hood if im using electric convection ovens? I also have been looking into alternative ovens such as electrolux and turbochef, just wondering if you had any opinions on these products and if you thought they may work better or worse
for the production of Italian cooking.
Kind regards,
Gervasio

Answer
I am not familiar with the building codes for your city; usually, equipment that generates 400F or more is required to be under an exhaust hood.  You may want to check with the local codes.
We make no recommendations pertaining to equipment manufacturers.
