4. Hood installation height above
cooktop is the users preference.
The lower the hood above the
cooktop, the more efficient the
capturing of cooking odors,
grease, and smoke. This hood
has been approved for installa-
tions from 24” to 36” above the
cooktop. The lower height may
be inconvenient for tall people
and large cooking vessels. Con-
sequently, Thermador recom-
mends the hood be installed 30”-
36" above the countertop.
5. Remote blowers require a five wire
installation.
1. For the most efficient air flow
exhaust, use a straight run
or as few elbows as possible.
CAUTION:CAUTION:

CAUTION: Vent unit to

2. Use flex ducting only to
connect rigid duct directly to

3. COLD WEATHER installa-
tions should have an addi-
tional backdraft damper
installed to minimize back-
ward cold air flow and a
nonmetallic 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

The desired installation
height of the PHE is the
user’s preference. Figure 2
shows a typical installation
of the hood with two duct
covers. Thermador offers 6”
and/or 12” duct covers to
fill the space between the
hood and ceiling.
The installation height
shown in Figure 2 is 24”.
One 6” and one 12” duct
cover have been used in
this installation. Add or
subtract duct
Figure 2
covers as appropriate to
accommodate ceiling height
and desired hood height.
The duct cover structure is
supported by the hood.
1. Hood Installation Height
After the hood installation
height has been determined
draw a horizontal line at a
distance above the cooktop
equal to the desired hood
installation height plus
15.5”. This line is the
mounting location of the
wooden bracket shipped
with the hood.
2. Find the centerline of
the cooktop. Draw a verti-
cal line along this centerline
up to the horizontal line
drawn in step 1.
3. The PHE 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 centerline of the
bracket.

Page 6
4. Find studs behind the
drywall by tapping the wall
or using a stud finder. Lo-
cate one stud on either side
of the cooktop centerline to
use for mounting the
wooden bracket as shown in
Figure 3.
Figure 3
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.
7. Use 2-4 (6mm x 80 mm)
screws to attach the
bracket to the wall as
shown in Figure 3. For
support of longer hoods,
use three or four studs as
available. Countersink the
heads to prevent interfer-
ence with the hood.
8. On the wood bracket
mark the locations used to
hang the hood according to
Figure 4.
Figure 4
9. Drill a 1/8” tap hole
through the wooden
bracket and drywall. These
screws do not need to go
into the studs.
10. Screw 2 (4.2mm x 18
mm) screws into the wood
bracket leaving 1/4” of the
screw exposed for hanging
the hood.

Page 7
11. Discharge Direction: Hori-
zontal discharge requires a wall
cutout, as shown in Figure 5, to
provide clearance for the transi-
tion. The location of the cutout is
determined by the hood installa-
tion height.
Figure 5
The transition supplied with the
PHE connects to standard 10”
round duct. Figure 6 shows the
transition connected for horizon-
tal discharge.
Figure 7 below shows the PHE
configured for vertical discharge.
Installations using this type of
method require a cutout in the
ceiling to accomodate 10” duct
and the 1/2” conduit carrying
power to the unit.

Duct covers, sold separately, are
available to cover the space
between the top of the hood and
ceiling.
