Installation Preparation Installation Considerations Clearances and requirements Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or range can vary. To obtain the necessary installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or range, consult the appliance's installation manual. 45/16" (110) 11" (280) 30" (762) min over a gas cooktop 30" (762) min over an electric cooktop 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. Where space is not restricted, a wider hood can be used to increase capture area. For proper performance, the hood must be centered horizontally above the cooking surface. Distance From Cooking Surface For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30" (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface. For electric/induction cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30" (76.2 cm) above the cooking surface. NOTICE: The hood could incur some damage from heat if a THERMADOR MASTERPIECE® series cooktop is operated with multiple burners at high settings under a hood that is installed at minimum clearances. Unit Weight This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure and support must be provided in all types of installations. When calculating the load for the housing support system, be sure to consider the weight of the ventilation unit. Unit 30'' (76 cm) 36'' (91 cm) Single blower 36'' (91 cm) Dual blower 48'' (122 cm) Weight 40.3 lb (18.3 kg) 42.5 lb (19.3 kg) 54.6 lb (24.8 kg) 65.9 lb (29.9 kg) IMPORTANT: The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit and 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, inishes, 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 speciic installations. Wall Framing Due to the weight of the hood, make sure the wood mounting bracket is attached to all available wall studs. Framing must be fastened together and to ceiling joists to provide enough structural strength to support the weight of the hood and internal blower, if applicable. Wall framing should be, at minimum, made of 2"x 4" lumber. Proper structural support is required to accommodate the weight of the hood. Installation Instructions English | 9 |
