2.3 Power requirements and grounding
The outlet must be properly grounded in accordance with
all applicable codes.
2.4 Ventilation requirements
WARNING
The appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that blows air downward toward the burners. This
type of ventilation system may cause ignition and
combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance
resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
Refer to the "Ventilation Planning Guide" for approved
¡
ventilation combinations.
It is strongly recommended that this appliance be
¡
installed in conjunction with a Thermador vent hood.
Due to the high heat capability of this appliance,
particular attention should be paid to the hood and duct
work installation to assure it meets local building codes.
Downdraft ventilation should not be used. The
¡
"Ventilation Planning Guide" indicates the ventilation
hood options and blower capacity guidelines that are
recommended for use.
Due to the high heat of the rangetop burners, installing
¡
a microwave oven with a ventilation system over the
rangetop is not recommended on any model other than
the 30" 5–burner and induction ranges. Refer to the
Over the Range or Rangetop (OTR) manufacturer's
installation manual for clearances.
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with
¡
single wall ducting. However, some local building codes
or inspectors may require double wall ducting. Consult
local building codes and/or local agencies before
starting to assure that hood and duct installation will
meet local requirements.
NOTICE:
Most range hoods contain combustible components which
must be considered when planning the installation.
Preparing for the ventilation
Select hood and blower models.
1.
– For wall installations, the hood width must, at a
minimum, equal the width of the range/rangetop.
Where space permits, a hood larger in width than the
range/rangetop may be desirable for improved
ventilation performance.
– For island installations, the hood width should
overhang the width of the range/rangetop by a
minimum of 3'' (76 mm) on each side.
Consider hood placement.
2.
– For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the
hood should be installed 30" (762 mm) above the
range cooking surface.
– If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a
wood covering), it must be installed a minimum of 36"
(914 mm) above the cooking surface.
