Thermador PH54GS Installation Instruction

English 3

Grounding Instructions:

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an 
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric 
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded 
by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections 
and grounding must comply with all applicable codes.

Do not use an extension cord. Improper 
grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. 
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding 
instructions are not completely understood, or if 
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is 
properly grounded. If the power cord is too short, 
have a qualified electrician install an outlet near 
the appliance.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this 
fan with any solid-state speed control devices.

Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power OFF at

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by 
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable 
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.

5.

Sufficient 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 manufacturer's 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.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, be careful 
not to damage electrical wiring and other hidden 
utilities.

7.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

8.

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.

9.

Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all 
controls are in the OFF position.

Lamp holder might be hot. Disconnect from 
power before servicing. Allow unit to cool after 
the power has been turned off before servicing.

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. 

For general ventilating use only. DO NOT use to 
exhaust hazardous or explosive materials or 
vapors.
