The Over-The-Range(OTR) which is a microwave-hood combination includes a ventilation and cooking system. The ventilation system removes fumes and moisture generated in the main cooking device during the cooking process. However, the OTR has a low capture efficiency for a variety of reasons. The room ventilation system is one of the main effects to decrease the capture efficiency. In this paper, the performance and installation conditions of the OTR has been studied to investigate the effect of room ventilation system on the capture efficiency using numerical analysis.
