Hood width
•
The hood width should be no less than the width of
the cooking surface. For proper performance, the
housing must cover the entire cooking surface.
•
For proper performance, the hood must be centered
horizontally above the cooking surface. Where space
is not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase
capture area.

The installation height ranges from a minimum height
of 30'' (762 mm) to a suggested maximum height of

cooking appliance manufacturer's installation
instructions for proper hood height.

a Thermador Professional
operated with multiple burners at high settings under a
hood that is installed at minimum clearances while the
hood is turned off.

NOTICE:
The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit or
blower. Installer must account for weight of any materials
of construction when calculating the total dead weight
load of installation, including but not limited to: wall, tile,
mortar, plaster, brick, finishes, partitions, and other
similarly incorporated architectural and structural items.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
Support structure
•
Wall framing should be, at minimum, made of 2"x 4"
lumber. Proper structural support is required to
accommodate the weight of the hood.
Venting
•
The hood requires the ducting to be vented to the
exterior of the building.
