1.
For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a straight 
run or as few elbows as possible.
2.
Do not use flex ducting.
3.
COLD WEATHER installations should have an 
additional backdraft damper installed to minimize 
backward cold air flow and a non-metallic thermal 
break to minimize conduction of outside temperatures 
as part of the ductwork. The damper should be on the 
cold air side of the thermal break. The break should be 
as close as possible to where the ducting enters the 
heated portion of the house.
4.
Hood installation height above a cooktop or range can 
vary. To obtain the necessary installation height above 
a THERMADOR PROFESSIONAL
®
 Cooktop or 
Range, consult the appliance's installation manual.
*   For indoor grill installations, THERMADOR
®
 
recommends a minimum of 36" (914mm) 
clearance and remote and inline blowers only.
5.
Remote blowers require a five wire installation.
6.
Make-Up Air: 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.
