5.1 Important notes
WARNING
To avoid risk of burns, turn the hood ON when cooking at
high heat or when flambéing food.
DO NOT use all heating elements or gas burners
simultaneously at high settings for a prolonged period
(max.15 minutes).
If the hood is located over a gas cooktop, operate the
hood at maximum setting whenever three or more gas
burners are being used.
DO NOT operate the ventilation system during a cooktop
fire.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the cooktop, rangetop, or
¡
range while the hood is disassembled.
All hoods require the choice of a remote, in-line, or
¡
integral blower. Use only Thermador blowers with
Thermador ventilation hoods. All blower models are
sold separately. See the Ventilation Planning Guide for
recommended blowers. Contact Customer Service
foradditional options. → Page 14
All hood models are rated for 120V AC, using a 15A or
¡
20A circuit breaker; see Installation Guide for more
details.
When connected to a GFCI-protected supply,
¡
Thermador Professional® Series hoods are suitable for
use in damp locations that are protected from outside
weather conditions and not subject to saturation with
water and other liquids, but can be subject to moderate
degrees of moisture, such as an outdoor covered patio
or lanai area. Refer to local codes, NEC/CEC, and/or
the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for additional
information.
6 Basic Operation

Basic Operation

Basic Operation
6.1 For better results
Follow these recommendations to achieve better
ventilation results.
Turn on the blower for about 5 minutes before cooking
¡
in order to establish air currents upward through the
hood. Thus when heat, smoke, moisture, grease and
cooking odors are produced, they will be carried outside
instead of drifting into other rooms.
Use the lower speed levels for normal use and the
¡
higher speed levels for strong odors or fumes.
Drafts across the range or cooktop will reduce the
¡
effectiveness of the hood. Such drafts should be
prevented when possible.
Ventilation is done best where the only air currents are
¡
those created by the blower itself.
Regular use of the hood while cooking helps keep the
¡
kitchen comfortable and less humid.
Use a rear burner when browning or pan frying meat.
¡
For optimal performance, the width of the hood should
¡
equal that of the cooktop or rangetop or exceed it by 3
inches on either side. Install these hoods only with
Thermador blowers.
