Step 1: Ventilation Requirements - Thermador P24GE Mode D'emploi

Step 1: Ventilation Requirements

It is strongly recommended
that a suitable exhaust hood be
installed above the appliance.
Downdraft ventilation should
not be used. The table below
indicates the Thermador hoods,
by model number, that are
recommended for use with the
24" wok, 24" griddle, 30", 36" and
48" cooktops.
1. Select Hood and Blower
Models:
• For wall installations, the hood
width must, at a minimum,
equal the nominal width of the
appliance cooking surface.
Where space permits, a
hood larger in width than
the cooking surface may
be desirable for improved
ventilation performance.
• For island installations,
the hood width should, at

NOTES: * For wall installations where adequate space is available, the installer or user may elect to use
a hood that is wider than the cooktop cooking surface. This may be particularly beneficial for
those cases, such as a long duct run or heavy usage of the grill, in which improved capturing
of the cooking exhaust is desired.
** Thermador offers a choice of remote (VTR1000Q or VTR1400Q) or in-hood (VTN1030C)
blowers for use in wall installations.
*** Hood models PHH30DS and PHH36DS include built-in blower. 36" cooktop model PC366
can also use model PHH36DS hood.
a minimum, overhang the
appliance cooking surface
by 3" on each side.
• Hood blower speeds should
be variable to reduce noise
and loss of heated or air
conditioned household air
when maximum ventilation
is not required. Normally,
the maximum blower speed
is only required when using
the grill.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination,
the lower edge of the hood
should be installed a minimum
of 30" to a maximum of 36"
above the appliance cooking
surface. (See Fig. 1).
• If the hood contains any
combustible materials (i.e.,

a wood covering), it must be
a minimum of 36" above the
cooking surface.
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.
• A qualified heating and
ventilating contractor should
be consulted.
NOTE: Ventilation hoods and
blowers are designed for use
with single-wall ducting. Some
local building codes may require
double-wall ducting. Before
starting installation, consult local
building codes and agencies to
insure that the installation will
meet local requirements.
