Thermador PH30HS Installation Instruction

English 5

Figure 3 shows a typical installation of the hood with a duct 
cover. Accessory 6” and/or 12” duct covers are used to fill 
the space between the hood and ceiling.

The installation height shown in Figure 3 is 36"; however, it 
is necessary to follow the cooking appliance 
manufacturer’s installation instructions for proper hood 
height. One 6" duct cover has been used in this installation. 
Add or subtract duct covers as appropriate to 
accommodate ceiling height and recommended hood 
height. The duct cover structure is supported by the hood.

The hood could incur some damage from heat if a 
Professional Series Range or Cooktop is operated with 
multiple burners at high settings under a hood that is 
installed at minimum clearances.

1. After the hood installation height has been determined, 

draw a horizontal line at a distance above the cooktop 
equal to the recommended hood installation height 
plus 15-1/2”. This line is the mounting location of the 
wooden bracket shipped with the hood.

2. Find the centerline of the cooktop. Draw a vertical line 

along this centerline 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 

centerline to use for mounting the wooden bracket as 
shown in Figure 4.

5. Align the top of the wood bracket along the horizontal 

line drawn in Step 1. Align the centerlines of the 
bracket and cooktop.

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

bracket, drywall, and into the stud.
