The igure above indicates a typical installation of the hood.
An optional chimney extension kit to reach 9’-12’ (274 to
366 mm) may be purchased. Add or subtract chimney ex-
tensions as appropriate to accommodate ceiling height and
recommended hood height.
For gas cooktop & range installations: Mount the hood
so the bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm) above the cooking
surface.
For electric/induction cooktop & range installations:
Mount the hood so the bottom is at least 30” (76.2 cm)
above the cooking surface.
NOTICE:
The hood could incur some damage from heat
if a THERMADOR MASTERPIECE
®
series cooktop is opera-
ted with multiple burners at high settings under a hood that
is installed at minimum clearances.
Ceiling support structures
•
This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure and
support must be provided in all types of installations.
•
At the hood location, install 2”x 4” cross framing
between ceiling joists as shown (2”x 4” are required to
support the weight of the hood).
•
Arrange cross framing in the ceiling to suit the existing
structure.
•
Your ceiling joists will be like one of the following:
