Halogen lights provide better lighting effi-
ciency. A dimmer on the lights allows custom
settings, while a separate on/off switch allows
the homeowner to save the settings. A heat
sensor turns the ventilator on full power when
cooking temperature reaches uncomfortable
levels. On Designer Series models, a delay
feature can be set so that the ventilator shuts
off on its own 10 to 30 minutes later. Heat
lamps are standard on all 18"H. Professional
Series wall hoods. All the hood configurations
feature easy cleanup.
Power for every kitchen
Ventilators are rated in CFM units, which
stands for cubic feet of air moved per minute.
In general, the ventilation industry follows the
100 to 1 rule when determining how much
CFM is needed — in other words, for every
100 BTU of heat generated by the cooking
appliance, the blower should move 1 CFM of
air. For instance, a gas range with four 15,000-
BTU burners should be equipped with at least
Designer downdraft Designer downdraft
a 600-CFM ventilator.
Ventilators are available with both interior
power and exterior power kits, with some mod-
els only available with interior power. All Viking
ventilators are astonishingly quiet for the power
they pack. The interior power units range from
300 to 1,200 CFM. exterior power units range
from 900 CFM to a high of 1,500 CFM.
Ventilation for every kitchen
In order to maintain quality standards,
Viking ventilator kits must be used with Viking
hoods; use with non-Viking kits voids the
product warranty. There is one ventilator and
one duct run for any size hood/ventilator
combination. It's best to keep the duct run as
short as possible. All Viking ventilators, with
the exception of the 1,500-CFM units, are
designed for 50 feet as the maximum run. The
1,500-CFM units can handle up to 75 feet.
Please note, when laying out the duct run, the
general thought is that every 90-degree turn is
equal to 5-10 feet in a straight run.
An unbeatable combination of style
and performance
When you specify a Viking ventilation
system, your client won't just have a legendary
brand in the kitchen, but also the performance
to match. They'll be proud of how the hood
looks, and they'll delight in the performance
of what's under the hood.
