IMPO INSTRUCTIONS

• SAFETY WARNING

Turn off power circuit at service panel and

lock out panel, before wiring this appliance.

REQUIREMENT: 120 VAC, 60 Hz. 20A

CAUTION

FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE

ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST

HAZARDOUS OR

MATERIALS OR VAPORS.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIREr

ELECTRIC SHOCKr OR INJURY TO

PERSONS_ OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

A. Use this unit only in the manner

intended by the manufacturer. If you

have questions, contact the

manufacturer. (Thermador Customer

Service at 800/735=4328.

B. Before servicing or cleaning the unit,

switch power off at service panel and

lock service panel. This will prevent

power from being switched on

accidentally. When the service panel

cannot be locked, securely fasten a

prominent warning device, such as a

tag, to the service panel.

Installation work and electrical wiring

must be done by qualified person(s) in

accordance with all applicable codes &

standards, including fireorated

construction.

Sufficient make=up air is needed for

proper combustion and exhausting of

gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel

burning equipment to prevent back=

drafting. Follow the heating equipment

manufacturers guideline and safety

standards such as those published by

the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA), the American Society for

Heating, Refrigeration and Air

Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),

and the local code authorities.

Due to size and weight of this unit two

installers are recommended.

When cutting or drilling into wall or

ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring

and other hidden utilities.

To properly exhaust air, be sure to duct

air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into

spaces within walls, ceilings, attics,

crawl spaces, or garages.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

USE ONLY METAL DUCT WORK.

Install this hood in accordance with all

requirements specified.

CAUTION:

Vent Unit to the Outside.

CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING HOOD

For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a

straight run or as few elbows as possible.

CAUTION:

Vent unit to outside of building, only,

2. Do not use flex ducting.

3. COLD WEATHER installations should have an

additional backdraft damper installed to

minimize backward cold air flow and a

nonmetallic thermal break to minimize

conduction of outside temperatures as part of

the ductwork. The damper should be on the cold

air side of the thermal break. The break should

be as close as possible to where the ducting

enters the heated portion of the house.

4. Hood installation height above cooktop is the

users preference. The lower the hood above the

cooktop, the more efficient the capturing of

cooking odors, grease, and smoke. This hood

has been approved for installations as low as 24

inches* above the cooktop. The lower height

may be inconvenient for tall people and large

cooking vessels. Consequently, Thermador

recommends the hood be installed 30-to-36

inches above the countertop.

* For indoor grill installations, Thermador

recommends a minimum of 30" clearance and

remote blowers only (VTR1000Q or VTR 1400Q)

5. Remote blowers require a five wire installation.

6. Make-UpAir: Local building codes may require

the use of make-up air systems when using

ducted ventilation systems greater than specified

CFM of air movement. The specified CFM varies

from locale to locale. Consult your HVAC

professional for specific requirements in your

area.

7. Refer to Remote Control Installation Instructions

if applicable.

Appliance Installation

The hood can be mounted on a wall or suspended

from a cabinet. Both vertical and horizontal

discharge are possible with either mounting method.

Discharge Direction: The hood is shipped ready for

vertical discharge. To change to horizontal discharge

move the discharge cover shown in Figure la to the

top of the hood. The plate is held in place by four

screws.

Assembly of the Transition: The supplied

transition mounts to the top or rear of the hood

depending on the discharge direction.

1. Align mounting holes at base of transition with

mounting holes on 1/2" flange located at the

top or rear of the hood depending on direction

of discharge.

2. Fasten transition to hood using two (2)#8

sheetmetal screws (included with hood).

3. Seal connection between transition and hood

with duct tape.

4. Remove tape holding damper closed.

See Figure lb for overalt hood dimensions.

Wail Mount installation

The hood installation height is the user's prefer z

ence. Figure 2 shows a typical installation of the

hood with two duct covers. Accessory 6" and/or 12"

duct covers are used to fill the space between the

hood and ceiling.

The installation height shown in Figure 2 is 36

inches. One 6" duct cover has been used in this

installation. Add or subtract duct covers as

appropriate to accommodate ceiling height and

desired hood height. The duct cover structure is

supported by the hood.

1. After the hood installation height has been

determined, draw a horizontal line at a distance

above the cooktop equal to the desired hood

installation height plus 15.5". This line is the

mounting location of the wooden bracket

shipped with the hood.

2. Find the centedine of the cooktop. Draw a

vertical line along this centedine up to the

horizontal line drawn in step 1.

3. The hood is mounted to the wall using a wooden

bracket shipped with the hood. Remove the

bracket from the hood by removing two shipping

screws. Mark the center line of the bracket.

4. Locate one stud on either side of the cooktop

centedine to use for mounting the wooden

bracket as shown in Figure 3.

5. Align the top of the wood bracket along the

horizontal line drawn in Step 1. Align the

centedines of the bracket and cooktop.

6. Drill a 3" deep 1/8"tap hole through the wooden

bracket, drywall, and into the stud.

7. Use 2 or 3 (#14 x 3") screws to attach the

bracket to the wall as shown in Figure 3. For

support of longer hoods, use three studs.

Countersink the heads to prevent interference

with the hood.

8. On the wood bracket mark the locations used to

hang the hood according to Figure 4 (next page).

9. Drill a 1/8"tap hole through the wooden bracket

and drywall. These (#8 x 5/8") screws do not

need to go into the studs.

10. Drill a 1/16" tap hole for the 2 (#8 x 5/8") screws

into the wood bracket leaving 1/4"of each screw

exposed for hanging the hood.

Cabinet Mnstallation

The hood can be installed under

a cabinet by supporting the

hood from the top.

Note: The cabinet must be

structurally joined to the wall

studs to support the weight

of this hood.

Figure 10 shows the four screw

holes (K) used for mounting the

hood to the bottom of the

cabinet.

Make sure both knockouts have

been removed.

1. in the base of the cabinet

drill 1/8" tap holes (See

dimensionAin Figure 10

and in Table). Screw in four

#10 x 1" screws (provided

with hood)leaving 1/4"

exposed).

2. if the hood is installed for

vertical discharge, use

Figure 11 to create

clearance holes for passage

of the transition and conduit

(See dimension B in Figure

11and in Table).

3. For horizontaldischarge use

Figure 5 for the geometry of

the cutout required for

clearance of the transition.

4. Hang hood from screws and

tighten securely.

5. From inside of hood, insert

screws supplied. Drill

through holes (use #8 x 5/

8" screws supplied), one on

each side and four along the

front, into bottom of the

cabinet. See screws holes

labelled "L" in Figure 10.
