recommendations.
3.3 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.

Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or
¡
range can vary.

The installation height ranges from a minimum height of
¡
30'' (762 mm) to a suggested maximum height of 40''
(1,016 mm). However, it is necessary to follow the
cooking appliance manufacturer's installation
instructions for proper hood height.
NOTICE:
The hood could incur some damage from heat if a
Thermador Professional® Series range or rangetop is
operated with multiple burners at high settings under a
hood that is installed at minimum clearances while the
hood is turned off.
3.5 Unit weight

¡

The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit and
blower. The 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.
3.6 Support structure
Due to the weight of the hood, make sure the wood
¡
mounting bracket is attached to all available wall studs.

¡
to provide enough structural strength to support the
weight of the hood and internal blower, if applicable.
Wall framing should be made of 2"x 4" lumber at
¡
minimum. Proper structural support is required to
accommodate the weight of the hood.
