Health-department & code relevance

Type I (grease) hoods require listed baffle filters per NFPA 96 — not mesh — installed at the correct angle with no gaps, and removed for cleaning on a regular schedule. Grease-clogged filters are both a fire hazard and a common inspection failure.

Common questions

Baffle or mesh filter?

Type I grease hoods require baffle filters (NFPA 96); mesh filters are not allowed over cooking equipment because they load with grease and burn. Baffles centrifuge grease into a trough and are dishwasher-cleanable.

How often should hood filters be cleaned?

Typically nightly to weekly depending on volume and cooking type; a grease-loaded filter is a fire risk and a citation. Many operations run them through the dish machine.
