PRO VENTILATION
Planning Information
Pro ventilation hoods and hood liners are recommended for
use with all Wolf cooking appliances. Wall hoods should be
at least as wide as the cooking surface and island hoods
should be 3"
(76) wider on each side.
For optimal performance in wall hood applications, a pro
27" deep wall hood is recommended for use with ranges
and rangetops with a charbroiler or griddle.
Installation of all Pro hoods except the outdoor wall hood
should be 30"
(762) to 36" (914) from the bottom of the hood
to the countertop. Installation of the outdoor wall hood
should be 36"
(914) to 42" (1067) from the bottom of the hood
to the countertop.
Pro hoods and hood liners are shipped without a blower
assembly. Internal, in-line, and remote blowers are available
through an authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer informa-
tion, visit the nd a showroom section of our website,
wolfappliance.com. The blower will vary in size and is
dictated by the cooking unit, volume of air, and length of
the duct run. Refer to Ventilation Suggestions on pages
174–177.
Pro hoods accommodate a 10"
(254) round duct. Low-prole
wall hoods allow for an adjustable discharge. All other pro
hoods have a vertical discharge. For the 24" and 27" deep
wall hoods, a horizontal discharge kit is available through an
authorized Wolf dealer.
Consult a qualied HVAC professional for specic installa-
tion and ducting applications.
Optional stainless steel duct covers in a variety of heights
are available for pro wall and island hoods through an
authorized Wolf dealer.
RECIRCULATING APPLICATION
Low-prole, 24" deep, and 27" deep wall hoods with an
internal blower (600 CFM or less), 30"
(762) and 36" (914)
widths only, can be used in a non-ducted application with
a recirculating lter. In this installation, kitchen air is puried
through the lters and returned as clean air into the room. A
recirculation kit, available through an authorized Wolf dealer,
is required.
CUSTOM HOOD APPLICATIONS
Wolf pro hood liners are for use in custom hood applica-
tions. The decorative hood can be created out of wood,
plaster, tile, or metal. The shape of the hood is not critical,
however, the bottom of the hood and liner must be on the
same plane. The height of the liner does not need to accom-
modate the entire height of the decorative hood.
