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:

 

 

It is 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 blower option.

CFM = “cubic feet per minute” (standard blower capacity rating).
