Selecting a Ventilation System
RECIRCULATING APPLICATION
Recirculating units recycle the air through a charcoal filter
and return it to the kitchen. This type of ventilation will not
remove heat, moisture, or combustion gases from the air.
It will also be less eective in reducing odors and smoke.
Recirculating units should only be used in applications
where ducting to the outside is not an option, and only if
local codes allow it.
Wolf recirculating units are for use with cooktop hoods
and downdrafts with an internal blower and some pro wall
hood models. Recirculating units should not be used with
ranges or rangetops that contain a charbroiler or griddle.
CUSTOM HOOD APPLICATION
A custom decorative hood, used with pro hood liners, can
be created out of wood, plaster, tile, or metal to match
virtually any design theme. The shape of the decorative
hood is not critical as long as the hood liner fits completely
inside the hood. The decorative hood and liner must fit
together at the bottom edge in both width and depth. The
height of the hood does not have to match the height of
the liner.
Ventilation Made Easy
After choosing the proper ventilation hood or downdraft,
follow this three-step process to determine your blower
needs to complete the ventilation system:
• Step 1: Determine the Duct Run
• Step 2: Determine the CFM
• Step 3: Select a Blower
