One of the most important considerations of efficient operation is ventilation. Make sure the equip- ment is installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen ventila- tion system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper burner operation. The equipment flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the flue must never be extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion char- acteristics
