installed
in
conjunction
with
a
suitable
overhead
vent
hood.
(See
Step
1
for
Ventilation
Require
ments.)
Due
to
the
high heat
capabil-
It
is
strongly
recommended
that
a
suitable
exhaust
hood
be
installed
above
the

Downdraft
ventilation
should
not
be
used.

Blower
Models:
For
wall
installations,
the
hood
width
must,
at
a
minimum,
equal the
width
of
the
range
cooking
surface.
Where
space
permits,
a
hood
larger
in
width
than
the
cooking
surface
may
be
desirable
for
improved
ventilation
performance.
For
island
installations,
the
hood
width
should,
at
a
minimum,
over-
ity
of
this
unit,
particular
attention
should
be
paid
to
the
hood
and
duct
work
installation
to
assure
it
meets
local
building
codes.
To
eliminate
risk
of
burns
or
fire
caused
by
reaching
over
heated
surface
units,
cabinet
storage
located
above
the
surface
units
should
be
avoided.
Check
local
building
codes
for
the
proper
method
of
appliance
installa
tion.
Local
codes
vary.
Installation,
electrical
connections
and
grounding
must
comply
with
all
applicable
codes.
In
the
absence
of
local
codes
the
appliance
should be
installed
in
accordance
with
the
National
Fuel
Gas
Code
ANSI
Z223.1
Current
Issue
and
National
Electrical
Code
ANSI/NFPA
70-Current

Hood
Placement:
on
both
sides.
CAUTION:
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
installa
tion
will
meet
local
requirements.
Hood

should
be
variable
to
reduce

HOOD*
BLOWER'
For
best
smoke
elimination,
the
lower
edge
of
the
hood
should
be
installed
a
minimum
of
30"
to
a
maximum
of
36"
above
the
range
cooking
surface.
(See
Fig.
1).
If
the
hood
contains
any
combus
tible
materials
(i.e.
a
wood
covering),
it
must
be
a
minimum
of
42"
above
the
cooking
surface.
3.
Consider
Make-Up
Air:
Due
to
the
high
volume
of
ventila
tion
air,
a
source
of
outside
replace
ment
air
is
recommended.
This
is
particularly
important
for
tightly
sealed
and
insulated
homes.
A
qualified
heating
and
ventilating
contractor
should
be
consulted.

Notes
'
For
wall
installations
where
adequate
space
is
available,
the
installer
or
user
may
elect
to
use
a
hood
that
is
wider
than
the
range
cooking
surface
This
may
be
particularly
beneficial
for
those
cases,
such
as
a
long
duct
run
or
heavy
usage
of
the
grill,
in
which
improved
capturing
of
the
cooking
exhaust
is
desired
"
Thermador
offers
a
choice
of
remote
(VTR1000Q
or
VTRHOOq)
or
in-hood
(VTN1000Q)
blowers
for
use
in
wall
installations.
