Step 1: Ventilation Requirements - Thermador PCG304G Manuel D'installation

WARNING!
DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of
air through the ventilation openings.
The vent is located at the back of the
appliance. The vent needs to be
unobstructed and open to provide
Low Back
necessary airflow that is important for
Vent
proper performance.
DO NOT touch vent area while the
appliance is on and for several
minutes after the appliance is off.
Some parts of the vent and
surrounding areas become hot
enough to cause burns. Allow
appliance sufficient time to cool
before touching or cleaning vent
areas.
DO NOT position plastic or other
heat-sensitive items on or near the
vent. These items could melt or
ignite.

Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
Refer to the Ventilation Planning Guide for approved
ventilation combinations.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a THERMADOR vent hood. Due to the
high heat capability of this unit, particular attention should
be paid to the hood and duct work installation to assure it
meets local building codes.
Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The Ventilation
Planning Guide indicates the ventilation hood options and
blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use
®
with all THERMADOR ranges.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the
rangetop is not recommended.
:
IMPORTANT
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with
single wall ducting. However, some local building codes or
inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult local
building codes and/or local agencies before starting to
assure that hood and duct installation will meet local
requirements.
:
NOTICE
Most ventilation hoods contain combustible components
which must be considered when planning the installation.
1. Select Hood and Blower Models:
• For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the rangetop. Where
space permits, a hood larger in width than the rangetop
may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the rangetop by a minimum of 3" (76 mm) on
each side.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the rangetop
cooking surface. Use a 36" (914 mm) minimum
clearance if the hood contains any combustible
materials such as a wood covering (see Figure 1 on
page 5).
3. Consider Make-Up Air:
• Due to the high volume of ventilation air, a source of
outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated
homes.
