Ventilation requirements

9 WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a
ventilation system that directs air in a downward
direction toward the range. This type of ventilation
system may cause ignition and combustion problems
with the appliance resulting in personal injury,
property damage, or unintended operation.
Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards do not
have any restriction.
Refer to the "Ventilation Planning Guide" for approved
ventilation combinations.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be installed
in conjunction with a Thermador
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.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a
microwave oven with a ventilation system over the
rangetop is not recommended on any model other than
the 30'' 5–burner. Refer to OTR manufacturer's installation
manual for clearances.
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 range hoods contain combustible
components which must be considered when planning the
installation.
