IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC
SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualied person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including
re-rated construction.
b) Sufcient air is needed for proper combus-
tion and exhausting of gases through the ue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards
such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the Amer-
ican Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the
local code authorities.
c) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
d) Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.

Installation Requirements
Wolf cooktop ventilation hoods are recommended for
use with Wolf induction, electric and gas cooktops and
integrated modules. For ranges and rangetops, a Wolf pro
ventilation hood is recommended.
These hoods have a telescopic chimney ue. A ue exten-
sion is available through an authorized Wolf dealer.
Installation of the cooktop hood should be 30" (762) to
36" (914) from the bottom of the hood to the countertop.
Wall and island hoods require an internal, in-line or remote
blower assembly, available through an authorized Wolf
dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a show-
room section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
Consult a qualied HVAC professional for specic installa-
tion and ducting applications.
Electrical
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
For wall hoods, locate the electrical supply within the
shaded area shown in the illustration below. Allow a
minimum 12" (305) Romex®wire for connection. For island
hoods, locate the electrical supply on the ceiling inside the
top of the hood. Allow a minimum 6' (1.8 m) Romex®wire for
connection. A separate circuit, servicing only this appliance
is required.

Ducting
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, use only metal ducting.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Consult a qualied HVAC professional
for specic installation and ducting applications.
Cooktop ventilation hoods accommodate a 6" (152) round
duct. Use only rigid metal ducting.
A straight, short duct run is most effective and will ensure
proper performance. If the duct run exceeds 50' (15 m), a
higher CFM blower may be required to maintain proper air
ow. A remote blower installed on a short duct run may
increase the potential for noise.
Internal and in-line blowers require a roof or wall cap. Con-
nect ducting to the cap and work back towards the hood.
Use sheet metal screws and aluminum tape or high temper-
ature duct tape to seal joints between ducting sections.
Cooktop hoods include a backdraft damper. Local codes
may require the use of an additional backdraft and/or
make-up air damper. Contact your local HVAC professional
for specic requirements.
A make-up air damper is available through an authorized
Wolf dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a
showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of re and to properly exhaust air,
be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air
into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl
spaces or garages.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of re and electrical shock, only
install this range hood with remote blower models
rated a maximum of 3A suitable for use with solid state
speed control or internal blowers manufactured by
Wolf, “Blower—300 CFM” or “Blower—600 CFM”.

INSTALLATION
2Place the mounting tabs over the mounting screws. Use
the leveling adjustment screws to ensure the hood is
level. Refer to the illustration below.
3Mount the electrical plate to the wall using screws
provided.
4Place the backdraft damper on the round discharge then
install 6" (152) round metal ducting (not provided) to the
damper and seal with aluminum tape.
5Make wiring connections. Refer to page 9.
6Once wiring connections are complete, secure the upper
chimney ue to the mounting brackets using screws
provided. Refer to the illustration below. Place the lower
chimney ue over the upper, then lower until it rests on
the hood.
Installation
WALL HOOD
If an internal blower will be used, install the blower prior
to mounting the hood. Refer to page 8 for internal blower
installation.
1Mark the center line for location of two mounting holes
using dimensions shown in the chart and illustration
below. Additional wall framing is recommended in this
location. If wall framing is not available, the use of wall
anchors is recommended. Install the mounting screws
so there is approximately 1/4"(6) gap between the screw
head and wall. Position the two mounting brackets for
the chimney ue, then install using two mounting screws
per bracket. Refer to the illustration below.

dance with these instructions may result in electrical
hazards.
Installation
ISLAND HOOD
1Mark the center line for location of four mounting holes
using dimensions shown in the illustration below. Use
the template provided to mark the mounting support
locations, then use a 11/4" drill bit to create a hole for the
electrical power supply.
2Place four mounting screws into the ceiling, then posi-
tion the support frame on those screws. Once the sup-
port frame is in place, tighten screws.
3Determine the desired height of the support frame and
adjust the height by removing four screws. Once the
desired height is achieved, reinstall and tighten screws.
4Place the damper on the support frame then attach
ducting to the damper.
