3.4 Distance from cooking surface
¡Hood installation height above a cooktop, rangetop or
range can vary.
¡The installation height ranges from a minimum height of
30'' (762 mm) to a suggested maximum height of 40''
(1,016 mm). However, it is necessary to follow the
cooking appliance manufacturer’s installation
instructions for proper hood height.
NOTICE:
The hood could incur some damage from heat if a
Thermador Professional® Series range or rangetop is
operated with multiple burners at high settings under a
hood that is installed at minimum clearances while the
hood is turned off.
3.5 Unit weight
¡This vent hood is heavy. Adequate structure and
support must be provided in all types of installations.
¡When calculating the load for the housing support
system, be sure to consider the weight of the ventilation
unit.
Description Weight
HPIN42WS 105 lbs (47.6 kg)
HPIN54WS 122 lbs (55.3 kg)
NOTICE:
The supplied weights address only the ventilation unit and
blower. The installer must account for weight of any
materials of construction when calculating the total dead
weight load of installation, including but not limited to: wall,
tile, mortar, plaster, brick, finishes, partitions, and other
similarly incorporated architectural and structural items. It
is the responsibility of the owner and the installer to
determine if additional requirements and/or standards
apply to specific installations.
3.6 Support structure
¡Framing must be fastened together and to ceiling joists
to provide enough structural strength to support the
weight of the hood and internal blower, if applicable.
¡Wall framing should be made of 2"x 4" lumber at
minimum. Proper structural support is required to
accommodate the weight of the hood.
3.7 Venting
¡The hood requires the ducting to be vented to the
exterior of the building.
