INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The information in this design guide provides key features, product dimensions and installation specifications. Before installing a Thermador Island Hood, be sure to verify the dimensions and electrical connections. Also, always consult with the installation manual packed with the product for complete details before installing. Thermador Island Hoods may be installed above Thermador Cooktops to create a convenient cooking center. Refer to the appropriate section for additional specifications. HOOD WIDTH The hood width should be no less than the width of the cooking surface. Where space is not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase your capture area. Island installations require a greater capture area; therefore the hoods used should overlap your cooking surface by a minimum of 3" to 6" on either side. DISTANCE FROM COOKING SURFACE Proper mounting height is very important. If a hood is mounted too low, it may be difficult to cook and be unsafe. If a hood is mounted too high, performance may be compromised. For optimal performance, the distance from the cooking surface to the bottom of the hood should be a minimum of 30", unless otherwise noted. Please refer to the installation manual for each hood and cooktop / range model for proper hood mounting heights. -al 174
