Pro sland Hood nstallation
IMP RTANT N TE: This installation must be completed
by a qualified installer or Wolf authorized service center
technician.
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 inside the left wall of the hood shell.
Refer to the illustration below.

T REDUCE THE RISK F FIRE, ELECTRIC
SH CK R INJURY, BSERVE THE F LL WING:
• nstallation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated
construction.
• Two installers are recommended due to the size and
weight of the pro ventilation hood.
• nstall the pro ventilation hood only with a blower
manufactured by Wolf.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
Safety nstructions 4
To reduce the risk of fire and properly exhaust air,
be certain to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust
air into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
T REDUCE THE RISK F INJURY T PERS NS IN
THE EVENT F A RANGE T P GREASE FIRE,
BSERVE THE F LL WING:
• Smother flames with close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or metal tray, then turn off the burner. Be careful to
prevent burns. f the flames do not go out immedi-
ately, evacuate and call the fire department.
• Never pick up a flaming pan—you may be burned.
• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels
—a violent steam explosion will result.
USE AN EXTINGUISHER NLY IF:
• You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and
you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit
(NFPA fire safety tips).
T REDUCE RISK F RANGE T P GREASE FIRE:
A) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
B) Always turn the ventilation hood on when
cooking at high heat or when flambeing foods
such as crepes suzette or cherries jubilee.
C) Clean ventilation fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface burner.
The hood motor has a thermal overload which will
automatically shut off the motor if it becomes over-
heated. The motor will restart when it has cooled
down. If the motor continues to shut off and restart,
have the hood serviced.

nstallation Considerations 5
wolfappliance.com/specs
nstallation Considerations
Wolf pro ventilation hoods are recommended for use with
all Wolf cooking appliances. sland hoods should be larger
than the cooking surface by 3" (76) on each side. The
ventilation hood should be installed 30" (762) to 36" (914)
above the countertop.
•Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.
Product failure due to improper installation is not
covered under the Wolf warranty. Refer to the Wolf pro
ventilation hoods use & care guide for warranty details,
or visit the contact & support section of our website,
wolfappliance.com.
•Make sure you have the tools and materials necessary
for proper installation.
•Warranty service must be performed by a Wolf author-
ized service center. Wolf is not responsible for service
required to correct a faulty installation.
MATERIALS INCLUDED WITH H D:
•Transition with backdraft damper—attached inside
hood (needs to be removed)
•Two control knobs
•Filters and grease cups (installed in hood)
•nstallation package and hardware
•nstallation guide, use & care guide and product
registration card
•Wolf logo nameplate
When performing installation, servicing or cleaning the
ventilation hood, it is recommended that safety glasses
and gloves be worn.
BL WER ASSEMBLIES
Wolf pro ventilation hoods are shipped without the blower
assembly. nternal, in-line and remote blowers are avail-
able 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
surface, 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.
IMP RTANT N TE: Use only a Wolf blower with the pro
ventilation hood.
DUCT C VER
Optional stainless steel duct covers are available in a
variety of heights for all pro ventilation hoods through
your authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer information,
visit the find a showroom section of our website,
wolfappliance.com.
IMP RTANT N TE: nstalling a duct cover will impact all
aspects of the hood installation including hood location,
ducting, electrical placement and the mounting surface.

Electrical Requirements
Wolf pro ventilation hoods require a separate, grounded
120 V AC, 60 Hz power supply. The service should have its
own 15 amp circuit breaker. Locate the electrical supply in
the ceiling through the top of the island hood. Refer to the
installation specifications illustration on the previous page.
IMP RTANT N TE: You must follow all National Electrical
Code regulations. n addition, be aware of local codes and
ordinances when installing your service.
Risk of electrical shock. This ventilation hood must be
properly grounded. Electrical service for the hood must
be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance
with all applicable national and local electrical codes.

nstall Ductwork
IMP RTANT N TE: Pro ventilation hoods must exhaust to
the outdoors.
Wolf recommends that the pro island hood be installed
30" (762) to 36" (914) above the countertop. Consult a
qualified HVAC engineer for specific ducting applications.
A 10" (254) round duct is recommended for pro ventilation
hoods. Use only rigid metal ductwork, do not use flex
ducting.
Decide where the ductwork will run between the island
hood and the outside. Pro island hoods have a vertical
discharge. A straight, short duct run will allow the ventila-
tion hood to perform most efficiently. Limit 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.
Unless you are using a remote blower, a roof or wall cap
must be installed. Connect 10" (254) round metal
ductwork to the cap and work back towards the hood.
Use duct sealing tape to seal joints between ductwork
sections.
Pro island hoods have a backdraft damper included in the
transition assembly. Local codes may require the use of an
additional backdraft damper. Contact your local HVAC
professional for specific requirements. n cold weather
installations, a backdraft damper is necessary to minimize
the backflow of cold air into the room.
Local building codes may require the use of make-up air.
Consult your local HVAC professional for specific require-
ments in your area.

Ceiling Framing
IMP RTANT N TE: Aminimum 10" (254) opening in the
ceiling is required to accommodate the ductwork neces-
sary for proper ventilation.
1) Layout dimensions of the top plate of the hood (or top
of duct cover) on the ceiling. The top plate dimensions
will vary with the width of the island hood. Refer to the
illustration and chart on page 7.
2) Construct the ceiling framing using minimum 2" x 4"
lumber. Proper structural support is required to accom-
modate the weight of the hood.
3) Mark the center location of the hood. nstall 2" x 4"
blocking between ceiling joists. Refer to the illustration
below.
4) Drill four 5/32" diameter holes in the framing to match
mounting holes in the top plate of the hood (or top of
duct cover).

1) Use the four 1/4" x 3" (76) lag screws and washers
(provided with hood) to attach the duct cover to ceiling
framing. The width of the duct cover should be the
same as the top plate of the island hood. Refer to the
illustration and chart on page 7.
