CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE INSTALLING HOOD
1. For the most efficient air flow exhaust, use a
straight run or as few elbows as possible.
2. Donotuse flex ducting.
3. COLD WEATHER installations should have an
additional backdraft damper installed to
minimize backward cold air flow anda
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
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" clearance and
remote blowers only (VTR1030D, VTR13306E, or
VTR1530D).
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.
7. Refer to Remote Control installation Instructions
if applicable.

Wall Mount Installation
The hood installation height is the user’s prefer-
ence. Figure 2 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 2 is 36". One
6" duct cover has been used in this installation.
Add or subtract duct covers as appropriate to
accommodate ceiling height and desired hood
height. The duct cover structure is supported by the
hood.
1. 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 15-1/2”. This line is the
mounting location of the wooden bracket
shipped with the hood.
2. Find the centerline of the cooktop. Drawa
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 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. Drilla 3” deep 1/8" tap hole through the wooden
bracket, drywall, and into the stud.
7. Use 2 or 3 (#14 x 3”) screws to attach the
bracket to the wall as shown in Figure 3. For
support of longer hoods, use three studs.
Countersink the heads to prevent interference
with the hood.
8. On the wood bracket mark the locations used to
hang the hood according to Figure 4 (next page).
9. Drill a 1/8" tap hole through the wooden bracket
and drywall. These (#8 x 5/8") screws do not
need to go into the studs.
10. Drill a 1/16" tap hole for the 2 (#8 x 5/8") screws
into the wood bracket leaving 1/4" of each screw
exposed for hanging the hood.
