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. Where space is
not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase
capture area.
For proper performance, the hood must be centered
horizontally above the cooking surface.
Distance From Cooking Surface
For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood
so the bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm) above the cooking
surface.
For electric/induction cooktop & range installations:
Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm)
above the cooking surface.
NOTICE: The hood could incur some damage from heat
if a THERMADOR MASTERPIECE

series cooktop is opera-
ted with multiple burners at high settings under a hood that
is installed at minimum clearances.
