Cooktop ow-Profile Hood Installation
IMPO TANT NOTE: This installation must be completed
by a qualified installer or Wolf factory certified service.
Read this entire installation guide prior to installation and
save for the local inspector’s reference. The homeowner
should keep this installation guide for future reference.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with
National Electrical Codes, as well as all state, municipal
and local codes. The correct voltage, frequency and
amperage must be supplied to the appliance from a dedi-
cated, grounded circuit which is protected by a properly
sized circuit breaker or time delay fuse. The proper
voltage, frequency and amperage ratings are listed on the
product rating plate.
Record the model and serial numbers before installing the
ventilation hood. Both numbers are listed on the product
rating plate, located on the underside of the hood, above
the grease filter. The filter must be removed to access the
rating plate. Refer to the illustration below.

Installation Considerations
Wolf cooktop low-profile hoods are recommended for
use with Wolf induction, electric and gas cooktops and
integrated modules. These hoods have a telescopic flue
that allows you to reach a ceiling height of 8' (2.4 m) to
9' (2.7 m) with a finished look.
IMPO TANT NOTE: Wolf recommends that the bottom
of the ventilation hood be installed 24" (610) to 30" (762)
above the countertop.
ow-profile wall and island hoods are available with an
internal blower. Wall hood models CTEWH36 and
CTEWH45 will require an in-line or remote blower
assembly, available through your authorized Wolf dealer.
For local dealer information, visit the find a showroom
section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
The blower will vary in size and is dictated by the cooking
unit, the volume of air that needs to be moved and the
length of the duct run. Refer to ventilation recommenda-
tions in the Wolf design guide. These hoods have an 6"
(152) round duct with vertical discharge.
IMPO TANT NOTE: Use only a Wolf blower with the
cooktop low-profile hood.
BACKSPLASH
Optional stainless steel backsplashes are available in
widths to match all cooktop low-profile hoods through
your authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer information,
visit the find a showroom section of our website,
wolfappliance.com.
Electrical Requirements
Wolf cooktop low-profile ventilation hoods require a
separate, grounded 120 V AC, 60 Hz power supply. The
service should have its own 15 amp circuit breaker.
ocate the electrical supply within the shaded area shown
in the installation illustration for your specific model on the
following pages.
IMPO TANT NOTE: You must follow all National Electrical
Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and
ordinances when installing your service.

Install Ductwork
IMPO TANT NOTE: Unless used in a recirculating installa-
tion, ventilation hoods must exhaust to the outdoors.
A 6" (152) round duct is recommended for cooktop low-
profile hoods. Use only rigid metal ductwork, do not use
flex ducting. Consult a qualified HVAC engineer for
specific ducting applications.
Decide where the ductwork will run between the wall hood
and the outside. A straight, short duct run will allow the
hood to perform most efficiently. imit the number of
elbows and transitions. The duct run should be no longer
than 50' (15 m). There is a possibility of noise issues, if a
remote blower is used with a short duct run.
Wolf recommends installing a backdraft damper in all
installations. A backdraft damper is included with the
hood. It is built into the transition from the hood to the
duct run.
Unless you are using a remote blower, a roof or wall cap
must be installed. Connect ductwork to the cap and work
back towards the hood. Use duct sealing tape to seal
joints between ductwork sections.
ocal building codes may require the use of make-up air.
Consult your local HVAC professional for specific require-
ments in your area.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
Ducting Options
Wolf cooktop low-profile hoods may be used in a ducted
or recirculating installation. For greatest efficiency, the
ducted installation is recommended.
DUCTED INSTALLATION
In a ducted installation, the hood aspirates the kitchen air
saturated with fumes and odors, passes it through the
grease filter and expels it to the outside through ductwork.
For this installation, a ventilation hood with an internal,
in-line or remote blower can be used. The in-line blower is
located in ductwork between the hood and the outside.
The remote blower can be mounted on the roof or, for wall
hoods, an exterior wall. Wolf in-line and remote blowers
are available through your authorized Wolf dealer.
ECI CULATING INSTALLATION
IMPO TANT NOTE: Only low-profile hoods with an internal
blower can be used in a recirculating installation.
In a recirculating installation, the hood aspirates the
kitchen air saturated with fumes and odors, purifies it
through the grease filter and charcoal filter and returns
clean air into the room. A recirculation kit is available
through your authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer infor-
mation, visit the find a showroom section of our website,
wolfappliance.com.

Wall Hoods—Ducted Installation
ocate the electrical supply through the wall within the
shaded area shown in the illustration on page 6. Install
ductwork as outlined on pages 8–9.
Mount the bottom panel to the hood. Attach with the four
screws provided on the hinge side of the panel.
IMPO TANT NOTE: If a backsplash is to be used, it should
be installed prior to mounting the wall hood. Secure the
hood mounting brackets to the wall studs prior to
installing the backsplash. Refer to installation instructions
provided with the backsplash.
MOUNT HOOD TO WALL
IMPO TANT NOTE: Wolf recommends that the bottom
of the ventilation hood be installed 24" (610) to 30" (762)
above the countertop.
Draw a vertical line on the wall indicating the centerline of
the hood. Mark the first two holes to be drilled in the wall.
Position according to dimensions shown in illus 1 below.
Drill two 5/16" diameter holes and fit the screw anchors
provided. Attach the metal bracket to the wall using the
screws provided. Use the two cut-out triangles on the
bracket to position it exactly along the vertical axis of the
hood.
Hang the hood on the bracket as shown in illus 2. Adjust
the horizontal position moving the hood to the right or left
so that it is properly aligned. When adjustment has been
completed, without removing the hood, mark the four
additional holes to be drilled in the wall. Remove the hood
and drill four 5/16" diameter holes and fit the screw
anchors provided. Mount the hood to the wall using the
screws provided.
Mount the plate of the electrical system fixing it with three
screws as shown in illus 3 below.
ATTACH TELESCOPIC FLUE
Assemble the three support brackets for the telescopic
flue as shown in illus 4. The width of the bracket assembly
can be adjusted. With screws and anchors provided,
attach the bracket assembly to the ceiling so that it is
positioned along the axis with the hood.
