Disclosed is a free standing cooking fume and odor collecting or ventilating unit of modular construction and adapted for positioning adjacent one or more fume-generating cooking surfaces, which may be at differing vertical levels. The exhaust fan and motor, and suitable intake filters are located in the lower portion of the assembly and this lower portion accommodates, in overlying relation, one or more alternative intake modules which include intake openings adjacent the cooking surfaces or other fume producing portions of the ranges adjacent to which the collecting unit is placed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides a separate, or free standing, fume and odor collecting unit of modular construction which may be positioned adjacent and between any standard type of cooking units, though of various heights, without requiring custom design.
In addition, the assembly may be easily cleaned and serviced in that access is provided to the filters, blower and motor through an access door in the front face of the assembly without disturbing the cooking units.
The lower module of the assembly contains the blower, motor and filters and thus a major portion of the necessary elements are thus below the level of the cooking surfaces of the adjacent ranges, so that the overall height of the complete assembly is quite low when compared to prior art structures, thus permitting better air circulation and vision within the kitchen.
The upper module of the assembly, having the fume inlets and dampers, can be of relatively low height drawing gases from adjacent cooking units at substantially the same low height or can be of greater height, having multiple intake openings, to draw gases from adjacent high and low cooking units.
The construction is quite simple and readily manufactured for economy of original installation and maintenance.
