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

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 24" (610) 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 Requirements
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”.
