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 table on page 4 indicates the ventilation hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are recommended for use with all THERMADOR rangetops.
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.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing a microwave oven with a ventilation system over the rangetop is not recommended.
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.
NOTICE:
Most ventilation 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 rangetop. Where space permits, a hood larger in width than the rangetop may be desirable for improved ventilation performance.
•For island installations, the hood width should overhang the rangetop by a minimum of 3" (76 mm) on each side.
2. Hood Placement:
•For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the rangetop cooking surface. Use a 36" (914 mm) minimum clearance if the hood contains any combustible materials such as a wood covering (see Figure 1 on page 6).
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.
