Step 1: Ventilation Requirements - Thermador Professional PRO HARMONY PRG30 Manuel D'installation

This appliance complies with one or more of the following
standards:
• UL 858, Standard for the Safety of Household Electric
Ranges
• UL 923, Standard for the Safety of Microwave Cooking
Appliances
• UL 507, Standard for the Safety of Electric Fans
• ANSI Z21.1, American National Standard for
Household Cooking Gas Appliances
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 113-M1984 Fans and Ventilators
• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61-M89 Household Cooking
Ranges
Check local building codes for the proper method of
appliance installation. Local codes vary. Installation,
electrical connections and grounding must comply with all
applicable codes. In the absence of local codes the
appliance should be installed in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 current
issue and National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 -current
issue. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with
the CAN 1-B149.1 and .2 – Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and/or local codes.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
CAUTION:
To eliminate risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the
surface units should be avoided.

Step 1: Ventilation
Requirements
It is strongly recommended that a suitable exhaust hood be
installed above the range. Downdraft ventilation should not
be used. The table on page 4 indicates the ventilation hood
options and blower capacity guidelines that are
recommended for use with all THERMADOR
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.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, do not install
a microwave oven/ventilator combination above the range,
as these type of units do not provide the proper ventilation
and are not suitable for use with the range.
NOTICE:
Most range 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 range. Where space
permits, a hood larger in width than the range/rangetop
may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
• For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the width of the range by a minimum of 3"
(76mm) on each side.
2. Hood Placement:
• For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" (762mm) above the range
cooking surface (see Figure 1).
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a
wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 36"
(914mm) above the cooking surface (see Figure 1).
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.
