Thermador 98 Cooktop User Manual


 
STEP 1
PLAN THE INSTALLATION
Carefully follow the planning procedures listed below.
See Figure 2.
A. Determine whether a remote or integral blower will
be used. Remote blower installation requires 5
wires plus a ground wire to run from the
Cook‘n’Vent
®
to the blower.
B. Make sure adequate cabinet and counter space has
been provided for unit service if required.
C. Minimize cross drafts created by adjacent open win-
dows, doors, air conditioning, old heating vents,
recessed ceiling lights, and traffic patterns which may
affect performance.
D. For gas cooktop installations make sure that a mini-
mum 10 square inch opening is provided in the toe-
kick or other cabinet area. Inadequate ventilation of
the cabinet below the cooktop may result in flame
outage when operating the vent system.
E. Provide "make-up air" to installation location to
improve performance and prevent problems, such as
fireplace chimney downdrafts.
F . Investigate potential ductwork routes and choose
the shortest possible route from the unit to an
outside wall or roof. For guidance, typical ducting
installations are shown in figures 3 through 6.
G. Determine whether the chosen route of ducting
will meet vent system performance require-
ments. To do this, measure the duct lengths
needed and determine specific fittings required.
Enter this data in the spaces provided in Table 1.
H. Follow the duct installation guidelines in Table 2.
