The difference between Type 1 and Type 2 hoods is in the production of grease and smoke. Type 1 hoods are used with appliances that produce grease and smoke, such as fryers, griddles, ovens and, in some cases, pizza ovens. Type 2 hoods are used with appliances that only produce heat and steam, no grease and smoke, like pasta cookers and dishwashers.
