S E LECT ING A VENTIL ATION SYSTE M Selecting a Ventilation System When selecting a ventilation system, start by choosing the proper Wolf ventilation product, determined by the type of cooking appliance used and the following considerations: • Cooktop or pro ventilation • Updraft or downdraft • Width guidelines • Hood mounting height • Ceiling height • Cooking space | cooking style • Ventilation performance • Internal, in-line or remote blower • Ducting considerations • Electrical requirements •
S E LECT ING A VENTIL ATION SYSTE M Selecting a Ventilation System Wolf pro ventilation hoods and liners can be used with all cooking appliances, including ranges and rangetops. A downdraft system can also be used with sealed burner rangetop models SRT304 and SRT366. An accessory trim kit is required for this installation and is available through an authorized Wolf dealer.

S E LECT ING A VENTIL ATION SYSTE M Selecting a Ventilation System U P DR AF T O R DOWNDRAFT H O O D M O U N TI N G H EI GH T The choice between updraft ventilation and downdraft ventilation will depend on several factors, most notably the cooking appliance, type of installation and location. Updraft ventilation, or an overhead hood, is typically a more effective ventilation option. Cooking vapors naturally rise, making it easier to collect and remove them from the cooking area.

If the cooking surface is in an island or peninsula, a higher airflow capacity hood can provide better capture for cross currents, or if the hood needs to be mounted higher. Downdraft ventilation may also be an option.

Use only rigid metal ducting. All Wolf ventilation products require a separate, grounded electrical supply. Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.

Recirculating units recycle the air through a charcoal filter and return it to the kitchen.
D E T ER MINE T HE DUCT RUN Step 1: Determine the Duct Run IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a qualified HVAC professional for specific installation and ducting applications. Check local codes. | Consult a qualified HVAC professional to ensure all applicable codes are followed. Refer to the installation guide for your specific Wolf ventilation product. Minimize the duct run. | The length of the duct run and number of elbows and transitions can have a significant effect on ventilation performance.

D E T ER MINE T HE CFM Step 2: Determine the CFM Ventilation performance is measured in cubic feet per minute, or CFM. The chart below provides CFM suggestions specific to the Wolf cooking appliance and ventilation system used. To maximize airflow and performance, specify a blower to match or exceed the CFM listed. WOLF PRODUCT CFM Additional CFM may be required for long duct runs and ranges or rangetops with a charbroiler or griddle.
S E LECT A B LO WE R Step 3: Select a Blower All Wolf ventilation products are shipped without the blower assembly. An internal, in-line or remote blower must be selected to accommodate the cooking appliance and ventilation product. Wolf ventilation products must be installed only with a Wolf blower. Wolf blower assemblies are available through an authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer information, visit the find a showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
