Stove Direction Selection Guide

Choosing stove direction is not about one absolute rule. Prioritize workflow, ventilation, and long-term usability first.

Diagnose first, then act

Check movement path, prep-cook-clean sequence, and heat/smoke handling before deciding orientation.

3-step execution

• Step 1: Record kitchen friction points in daily use.
• Step 2: Adjust one variable (stove facing, prep zone, or ventilation).
• Step 3: Review weekly and refine gradually.
