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 avail-
able through an authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer
information, visit the find 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 154–157.
Pro hoods accommodate a 10"
(254) round duct. Low-
profile 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 qualified HVAC professional for specific 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-profile, 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 filter. In this installation, kitchen air is puri-
fied through the filters 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
accommodate the entire height of the decorative hood.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
Locate the electrical supply as shown in the illustrations
on the following page. A separate circuit servicing only this
appliance is required.
For the outdoor wall hood, a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) is required to reduce the risk of electrical
shock.
