Installation Instructions
Installation Considerations
Clearances and requirements
The wall hood requires the ducting to be vented to the
outside. It cannot be used in conjunction with a
recirculation unit.
Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or
range can vary. To obtain the necessary installation height
above a cooktop, rangetop or range, consult the
appliance's installation manual.
NOTICE: The hood could incur some damage from heat if
a Thermador Professional
®
series range or rangetop is
operated with multiple burners at high settings under a
hood that is installed at minimum clearances while the
hood is turned off.
Hood Width
The hood width should be no less than the width of the
cooking surface. For proper performance, the housing
must cover the entire cooking surface.
For proper performance, the hood must be centered
horizontally above the cooking surface. Where space is
not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase
capture area.
Distance From Cooking Surface
The installation height ranges from a minimum height of
30'' (762 mm) to a suggested maximum height of 40''
(1,016 mm); however, it is necessary to follow the cooking
appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions for
proper hood height.
Unit Weight
This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure and support
must be provided in all types of installations. When
calculating the load for the housing support system, be
sure to consider the weight of the ventilation unit.
*Follow cooking appliance manufacturer’s recommendations.

NOTICE:
The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit
and blower. Installer must account for weight of any
materials of construction when calculating the total dead
weight load of installation, including but not limited to:
wall, tile, mortar, plaster, brick, finishes, partitions, and
other similarly incorporated architectural and structural
items. It is the responsibility of the owner and the
installer to determine if additional requirements and/or
standards apply to specific installations.
