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 following table indicates the ventilation
hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are
recommended for use with all Thermador cooktops.
Due to the 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.
Do not install a microwave oven/ ventilator combination
above the cooktop, as these types of units do not provide
the proper ventilation and are not suitable for use with the
cooktop.
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 a
minimum, overhang the appliance cooking surface by
3" on each side.
Hood Placement:
* For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood
should be installed 30" above the appliance cooking
surface. (See Figure 1).
* [f the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e., a
wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 40"
above the cooking surface.
NOTICE:
Most hoods contain combustible components which must
be considered when planning the installation.
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.

Important Notes:
*« [tis recommended that a Thermador Professional wall or island hood or custom insert is used with Thermador
Professional Cooktops.
* Refer to www. Thermador.com for a complete selection of Professional Ventilation options, Blowers, and
Accessories.
* For high output gas cooktops (60,000 BTU or greater), the minimum of one (1) CFM of ventilation per 100 BTU is
recommended. If the cooktop has a griddle, add 200 CFM to the estimated blower capacity. Additional blower
capacity may be required for longer duct runs.
* For island applications, it is recommended to use a hood width that exceeds the width of the cooktop by 6"
(overlapping the cooktop by 3" on each end).
* **Not all 48" Pro Wall Hood models can accommodate a 1300 CFM biower option.
* CFM = "cubic feet per minute" (standard blower capacity rating).
