Installation considerations
Clearances and requirements
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.
• 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
• Due to the weight of the hood, make sure the wood
mounting bracket is attached to all available wall
studs.
• 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.

NOTICE:
The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit
and blower. Installer must account for weight of any
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 installer to determine if additional
requirements and/or standards apply to specific
installations.
