Installation
Planning Information
Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.
Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a THERMADOR
®
vent hood. Due to the
high heat capability of this unit, particular attention should
be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it
meets local building codes.
Downdraft ventilation should not be used.
IMPORTANT:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with
single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or
inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local
building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to
assure that hood and duct installation will meet local
requirements.
NOTICE: Most range hoods contain combustible
components which must be considered when planning the
installation.
Ventilation Preparation
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range. Where space
permits, a hood larger in width than the range/rangetop
may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the width of the range by a minimum of 3"
(76 mm) on each side.
• It is required that a certified hood of not less than 300
CFM be used. The range hood must be installed
according to the instructions furnished with the hood.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the range
cooking surface (see “Installation Clearances”).
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a
wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 36"
(914 mm) above the cooking surface (see “Installation
Clearances”).
3. Consider Make-Up Air:
• Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source of
outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated
homes. A qualified heating and ventilating contractor
should be consulted.

WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward
the range. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with the appliance
resulting in personal injury, property damage, or
unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the
air upwards do not have any restriction.
