Stove Ventilation

Written by Jaqui Lividini

Hello everyone and welcome back to the recurring issue of town code and making sure all of our renovations are up to snuff! This week we tackle stove ventilation. 

Traditionally, stoves feature a hood up top that pulls smoke out of the house from below. When I was designing our kitchen, however, I really wanted a stove with a mirror above it so I could see the water behind me while cooking. A stove with a hood would cover the mirror and effectively crush that dream.

Luckily, I discovered an Electrolux stove with a hood that pops out of the center and pulls smoke down. It’s attached to a ventilation system in the garage that then removes the smoke out of the house. It’s a fantastic system and it solved my problem. I’m so grateful for Electrolux!
