Installation instructions
Installation considerations
Clearances and requirements
The island 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.
Hood width
• This hood is intended only for an island type
installation. There is a minimum distance of 12'' (305
mm) from the back wall to the edge of the island
hood.
• 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
• Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop
or range can vary.
• 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.
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.
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.
Support structure
• Framing must be fastened together and to ceiling
joists to provide enough structural strength to support
the weight of the hood and internal blower, if
applicable.
• Wall framing should be, at minimum, made of 2"x 4"
lumber. Proper structural support is required to
accommodate the weight of the hood.
Venting
• The hood requires the ducting to be vented to the
exterior of the building.
*Follow cooking appliance manufacturer’s recommendations.

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
