VENTILATION PREPARATION

This range will best perform when installed with Bertazzoni
exhaust hoods. These hoods have been designed to work
in conjunction with the Bertazzoni range and have the
same finish for a perfect look.
Before installation of the exhaust hood, consult local or
regional building and installation codes for additional
specific clearance requirements. Refer to the range hood
installation instructions provided by the manufacturer for
additional information.

SELECT HOOD AND BLOWER MODELS

• For wall installations, the hood should be equal or larger
width than the range. Where space permits, a hood
larger than the range may be desirable for improved
ventilation performance.
• For island installations, the hood width should overhang
the range by a minimum of 3" (76 mm) on each side.

HOOD PLACEMENT

• For best removal of smoke and odors, the lower edge of
the hood should be installed between 25 1/2" (65 cm)
and 31 1/2" (80 cm) above the range cooking surface.
• If the hood contains any combustible materials (i. e. a
wood covering), it must be installed at a minimum of 36"
(914 mm) above the cooking surface.

CONSIDER MAKE-UP AIR

outside replacement
particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes.
A qualified heating and ventilating contractor should be
consulted.
