IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLER: Save these instructions for the local electrical
inspector’s use. Please leave these instructions with this
unit for the owner. Show the owner the location of the
circuit breaker. Mark it for easy reference.
OWNER: Read and save these instructions. Please retain
these instructions for future reference.
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed, including these in the
following pages.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
-- DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
-- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• DO NOT try to light any appliance.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
-- Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or the
gas supplier.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, in the event of a
range top grease fire, observe the following:
• Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the
electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the
flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.
• DO NOT use water, including wet dish cloths or
towels, to extinguish flames – a violent steam
explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
• You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and
you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
WARNING
For general ventilating use only. To avoid a fire or
explosion hazard, DO NOT use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive materials or vapor.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, observe the following:
• Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer (800-735-4328).
• Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power
off at service panel and lock service panel. This
will prevent power from being switched on
accidentally. When the service panel cannot be
locked, securely fasten a prominent warning
device, such as a tag to the service panel.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires,
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire
to turn it off.
If your garments or hair catch fire, fall to the ground
immediately and roll to extinguish the flames.
Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of

WARNING
To reduce the risk of a grease fire:
• Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.
• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
cherries jubilee, peppercorn beef flambé).
• Clean the appliance frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on the appliance.
• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element or
gas burner.
DO NOT allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance. This can damage the
appliance and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
DO NOT allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should
not be left alone or unattended in the area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play
in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

Introduction
Before You Begin
Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.
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 for
additional options.
WARNING
To avoid risk of burn, 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.
All hood models are rated for 120 VAC, using a 15 or 20
amp circuit breaker; see the Installation Instructions for
more details.
When connected to a GFCI-protected supply, the Pro
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. Refer to
local codes, NEC/CEC, and or the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ) for additional information.

Operating the Hood
For Better Results
• The blower should be turned on 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 speeds for normal use and the higher
speeds 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.
• The best job of ventilation in the kitchen is done
where the only air currents are those created by the
blower itself.
• Regular use of the fan system 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.
(h) CONNECT Home Connect™
This function allows the user to connect the hood with a mobile device.
(i) RH LAMP Right Heat Lamp (PHxxGWS only)
Independently controls the right infrared heating lamp, turning the light on or off.
U Control Tone
To turn the control tone off or on, hold the FILTER and LIGHTS button for 3 seconds. The control tone
may also be turned off or on through the SETTINGS section of the Home Connect app.
Page. 11
Home Connect™
With Home Connect™, the appliance is Wi-Fi capable and
can be remotely controlled using a mobile device (e.g.
tablet or smartphone). The Home Connect app offers
additional functions which are a perfect complement to
the networked appliance.
Home Connect does not work over Wi-Fi networks that

When your appliance is connected for the first time to a
WLAN network, which is connected to the Internet, your
appliance transmits the following categories of data to the
Home Connect server (initial registration):
• Unique appliance identification (consisting of
appliance codes as well as the MAC address of the
installed Wi-Fi communication module).
• Security certificate of the Wi-Fi communication
module (to ensure a secure IT connection).
• The current software and hardware version of your
domestic appliance.
• Status of any previous resetting to factory settings.
This initial registration prepares the Home Connect
functions for use and is only required when you want to
use these Home Connect functions for the first time.
NOTE: Ensure that the Home Connect functions can be
used only in conjunction with the Home Connect app.
Information on data protection can be accessed in the
Home Connect app.
Declaration of Conformity
BSH Home Appliances hereby declares that the appliance
which features Home Connect is in accordance with the
basic requirements and the other relevant provisions of
the directive 1999/5/EC.

Care and Cleaning
Filter and Grease Tray
Cleaning
WARNING
Be sure the entire appliance (including the filters and
lights) has cooled and grease has solidified before
attempting to clean any part of the appliance.
CAUTION
DO NOT use the cooktop, rangetop, or range while
hood is disassembled.
Your hood has removable stainless steel filters and
stainless steel grease trays. They must be cleaned when
the FILTER light illuminates on the Touch Control Panel or
whenever they collect grease. When used over a grill, wok
or other high grease applications, more frequent cleaning
may be required.
The filters and grease trays can be washed by hand or in
the dishwasher. Soak the ventilation filters in hot water
using a mild detergent. Rinse well and shake to dry.
Slight discoloration can occur when cleaning the filters in a
dishwasher. This has no influence on the function of the
grease filters.
NOTE: Reverse the directions below to remove the filters
and grease trays. Ensure filters are cool and grease has
congealed before removal.
To Install Filters and Grease Trays:
1. Turn the appliance OFF.
2. Grease trays must be in place before installing the
filters.
Push the grease tray in and down inside the grease
tray trough.
3. Start with an outside filter. Slide the filter up, toward
the front of the hood, then push down on top of the
grease tray.

Hood Surface Cleaning
• For general care, wipe the outside of the stainless
steel with mild, lukewarm, soapy water. Always wipe
and dry in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
Avoid using too much pressure, which may mar the
surface.
• DO NOT use abrasive products such as steel wool.
• DO NOT use cellulose sponges. Some sponges are
processed with salt and can cause corrosion by leaving
salt deposits on the metal.
• DO NOT allow any cleaning compounds to remain in
contact with stainless steel for extended periods.
• DO NOT USE CHLORINE-BASED CLEANERS.
• To remove fingerprints and produce added shine, use
a stainless steel cleaner or conditioner. The
Thermador Stainless Steel Conditioner can be
purchased online (US only) at:
www.store.thermador.com (order part number
00576697).
Heat Lamps (PHxxGWS only)
WARNING
Heat lamps might be hot. Disconnect from power and
allow to cool before servicing.
DO NOT operate the appliance without the heat lamps
installed.
Turn off the heat lamps and blower. Allow the heat lamps
to cool before handling.
If new heat lamps do not operate, be sure lamps are
inserted correctly before calling for service.
Heat Lamp Installation
1. Turn heat lamp clockwise to install.
Heat Lamp Replacement
1. Turn heat lamp counterclockwise to remove.
2. Replace lamp with either a PAR-38 175W heat lamp or
a PAR-40 250W heat lamp.
The PAR-38 175W heat lamp provides a tighter seal within
the enclosure and produces the same amount of effective
heat with lower energy consumption. These lamps may
not be readily available at local retail outlets. The PAR-40
250W heat lamp is more widely available. It can be used
instead.
PAR-38 175W heat lamps can be purchased through the
following retailers:
• OpTech Inc: 800-848-6624 or
www.optechlightbulbs.com
• bulbs.com: 888-455-2800 or www.bulbs.com

Service
Troubleshooting
Use the suggestions in the table below before calling for
service to avoid service charges.
Problem Suggested Cause and Solution
Noise during operation Some noise is normal due to vibration and air movement.
• Excessive noise could indicate one of the following:
-- ductwork is too small / undersized
-- ductwork is too large / oversized
-- ductwork is loose
-- transition is too small or is loose
-- wood screws are not fully tightened
-- loose screws in trim parts, etc.
Check Installation Manual to verify that ductwork is the proper size. Tighten screws.
Noise when unit is off • Backflow flap on outside of duct wall cap moves with the wind. This is normal.
Lights and fan blower do not
work
• Hood circuit breaker may be tripped. Reset breaker.
Fan blower does not work • Power supply is insufficient.
• Electrical wiring is incorrectly connected.
See the Installation Manual for more information.
Hood trips breaker • Electrical wiring is incorrectly connected.
• Circuit is not sufficient.
See the Installation Manual for more information.
The hood is not venting properly • The hood may be too high from the cook top.
• The hood may not be centered above the cook top.
• Make up air not sufficient.
• The wind from opened windows or opened doors in the surrounding area is
affecting the ventilation of the hood. Close all the windows and doors to
eliminate the outside air flow.
• Blockage in the duct opening or ductwork. Remove all blockage from the ductwork or duct opening.
• Duct length too long, too many elbows, “back to back” elbows, or too small roof
or wall cap, will all cause issues with air draw.
See the Installation Manual for more information.
Fault tone • Two short beeps will sound whenever the pressing of a button by the user results
in a possible function that is not possible by the system.
The beep tone can be disabled by pressing the FILTER and LIGHTS buttons
simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. Pressing the FILTER and LIGHTS buttons
simultaneously when the beep sound is turned off will turn on the beep sound.
